We seemed to be stuck on Twelve. Was the trapline going to fire again or was this "it" for this program? Was there a Lucky Thirteen and if so, which trap would fire? It's great to be alive and free isn't it?
Big Bulls of Coastal Queensland
It had reached "that" part of the program. We had been going really well but things suddenly slowed down and we knew if we couldn't pick up the tempo, it all could go out of tune quickly. With Brandon trying to take over the top job in the front seat, what could possibly go wrong?
Part two of our wild pig hunt with Matt. I thought we would find some good boars but the day just kept getting better. Wild pig hunting in Queensland, one of our favourite pastimes in the Aussie bush.
The trapline was in place and we already had good success across most of this big cattle property. Now to get a handle on a pack that was hunting in one of the main breeder cow paddocks. The chance was there to catch them before they started killing.

Check this video out as I look over my FX Impact M3 PCP air rifle the morning after a big fall. I was not a happy camper when the tripod toppled over and my expensive gun crunched HARD into a gravel road mid rabbit shoot.
Fortunately, everything other than slight damage is still all functional (now repaired since filming this)
Rifle and shooting set-up as I always get asked:
FX Impact M3 in 22cal. Scope is a PARD DS3570 LRF with ballistic hold over capability. For those interested, my FX Impact M3 is running a Huma-Air high flow slug & pellet probe but no other power upgrades. It has a standard 600mm barrel with a superior liner (not heavy). I'm firing the 23gr slugs at about 925 fps for sub MOA accuracy (which is 44 ft/lbs for the UK guys that feel the requirement to know this). Few Sabre Tactical upgrades in the mix to the rifle body like the Arca Rail 2, TRS & bag rider. Air supply is by a ShootAir lightweight composite tank to refill the rifle bottle as required.
I am a licensed vertebrate pest control - contract shooters in NSW. For those wondering about the suppressor, I hold the necessary permit in NSW for use. If you are seeking information regarding that, please check the FAR webpage for details. All shooting is performed on privately owned farms, with exclusive permission granted in writing for paid services.
I'm out on this pest control shoot with a focus on feral pigeons, rabbits, Indian myna birds and big fat rats. Shooting duties fall to my FX Impact M3 in .22 calibre for some BULK shooting. This is a professional pest control cull for a local private landowner with a small game pest problem.
Utilising thermal and night vision equipment can yield great results if the rabbit, pigeon and rat numbers are prevalent. I'm in amongst the horse stables and his chicken coop on this job for plenty of air rifle hunting and shooting action during this YouTube video.
With the recent update to YouTube's T&C's, I have been effected with what I can show on the platform, hence the heavy blurring to any deceased animals. If you wish to see the uncut version that is available via my Patreon.
FX Impact M3 is shooting on song in .22 calibre shooting 23gr Patriot Javelin slugs. Scope is a PARD DS35 LRF with ballistic hold over capability. Thermal hand scanner duties went to the amazing Pulsar Merger LRF XP50 binoculars.

In this action packed shooting video I'm out with my son thermal hunting with the brand new, Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XG50 in the field, let's RIP in. This shooting trip I'm out hunting feral pigs, deer, foxes and feral cats. There's heaps of thermal shooting footage with this new scope displaying real world usage and performance. Join me and my 7 year old little boy as we ride around on the quad bike taking care of pest animals. It's a beautiful area to spend time in, I'm grateful to get the work up there and spend some quality time away with the little fella. Always a big thanks to the property owners for having us up.
Sorry guys the original version of this video has been demonetised and restricted (basically the death of a video on this platform). So I had to edit, and cut out anything mildly graphic, even if blurred heavily. Hence this soft version and re-uploaded video. The original version is still visible if you wish to watch it, but you need to be signed into Youtube and 18+.
I'm not shooting for human consumption on this trip, it is purely pest control of invasive species in Australia. These uncontrolled animals are an environmental and agricultural menace, often carrying bacterial and diseases like brucellosis.

Rifle used, I always get asked that - It's a custom Tikka T3 chambered in 6mm BR, 18" Carbon Six CF wrapped barrel and Hi-Tec Industries CF stock. The suppressor is made by Shawmac Industries, which works amazingly well on this cartridge shooting subsonic Speer 75gr Varmint Hollow Points. Regular supersonic ammunition, I'm shooting Nosler 80gr Ballistic Tips (all ammo is reloaded, no please don't ask me for load data as I don't share this information). Thermal scope is obviously a Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XG50. For scanner duties, I'm running Pulsar Merger LRF XP50 thermal binoculars.

Why might a portable power station and solar panels be useful to someone like my. Well watch the video of the Bluetti EB70 & PV200 solar panels to find out.

This shooting trip I'm out hunting feral pigs, deer, foxes and feral cats. There's bulk 6BR shooting footage in this video with some daytime pigs and deer before we switch over to thermal once it got dark
The grass has definitely gone gang busters with feed levels at 6 - 10 feet high in a lot of the areas we had access to in my mates Polaris XP1000 side by side buggy. Access to a lot of country was just not worth the time with such limited visibility, but we stacked up bulk animals out on the more open stubble fields.
Big thanks to my unnamed mate for the invite out seeking assistance on this contract for pest control. It's a beautiful area to spend time and I'm grateful to get the work up there.
Critters on the deck and not killing native animals and damaging agriculture is the aim of the game. These uncontrolled animals are an environmental and agricultural menace in Australia and are mostly classed as invasive pest species. Shooting feral pigs is purely pest control, these animals are not shot for consumption unlike the deer which are utilised. Bacterial and diseases in feral pigs like brucellosis is prevalent in this area.
