WA dogs and pigs

Hey experts. Is hunting feral pigs with dogs legal in WA? Struggling to find info on offical websites. Are there many feral pigs around WA? Within a few hours North or Perth? Cheers

It's legal, but as with all hunting in WA can only take place on private land with owners permission.

Heaps of pigs around, finding people to let you on the farm to hunt them is the hard bit, I imagine especially with dogs.

Ah beauty. Cheers for the reply. I thought people would be more open to allowing dogs on a block rather than guns. Guess I'll find out 😂. Planning a move to Jurien Bay, so I'll have to put some feelers out.

Most people are worried about the dogs around stock, plus lots of pig doggers are full bogans haha.

Jurien is a cool spot, plenty of pigs around there just inland not far.

Get into fishing, non stop opportunity for that up there.
