Mixed bag for this pest control hunting trip on the ATV. I shot feral pigs / hogs at 30 meters with the 30-06, a long range goat hunting / shooting kill shot at 500 meters with the 6.5PRC. Plus a heap of foxes culled with the HIK Micro TQ50 at night with the 6BR - There's a bit of everything in this video !!!

All the animals shot in the video are introduced, invasive feral species in Australia. These animals are being culled for pest control purposes. Whilst this is labelled a hunting video a lot of this footage is purely pest control shooting. There is no "fair chase" other than shooting straight and true resulting in the most ethical kills possible. I'm performing this role with professional equipment for property owners who grant me access and require assistance.

I'm shooting the following rifles in this video:

6mm BR - Custom Tikka T3 in a Hi-Tec Composites CF Stock, HIK Micro TQ50 scope.

6.5PRC - Bergara B14 HMR Wilderness, Athlon Cronus BTR Gen 2 4.5-29x56mm scope.

30-06 - Custom Tikka T3X in a Southfort Labs CF stock, Swarovski Z5 2.4-12x50mm scope.

Call out job this evening, property owner had lost a large amount of baby lambs to fox predation. Out I toddled shooting with my Ruger American rifle chambered in 308 Win, fitted with a Thermion 2 XP50 scope. Managed to get a few of the pest fox culprits on the deck within the vicinity of the sheep.

For those interested I'm shooting a Ruger American Predator 18" chambered in 308 Winchester. Fitted into a MDT Gen 2 LSS chassis and running reloads with 150 grain Hornady SST projectiles. My scope is a Pulsar Thermion 2 XP50.

This fox pest control shooting video is on a small 100 acre block I've recently gained access to. Out with the Lithgow LA101 17HMR and PARD NV008 LRF I wandered to sort the poultry killers out. The scope can work quite well in locations like this with clear target ID and limited obstructions to flare out the IR light. You'll see in this video where it does poorly in certain situations though. The 17HMR is perfect for this type of fox shooting as there is little chance of ricochets and the little 20grain pills make a mess once inside a fox. The trajectory is handy too as often animals will be walked up to around the 100 to 125 meter mark. No hold over required at that range which makes for accurate and ethical fox shooting.

The owner of this block is very happy as he figured there was "a" fox which had killed all his chickens. I managed 5 foxes on the first trip and now another 7 of the red devils this evening. To say he is surprised would be an understatement.

Wild dogs - The property owner had sighted a few dogs this particular afternoon. With calving season in swing, obviously a small pack of wild dogs around is no positive thing. Wild dogs are wild dogs, regardless of the size a worthy target - But sometimes by chance you get a big one as you'll see in this video. I zipped out just after dark with the thermal hunting gear - Custom 6mm BR rifle with a Thermion 2 XP50 rifle scope and Helion 2 XP50 Pro monocular. The plan was a sit and wait in a location the dogs have been spotted at with a dead cow on a wood pile. It seems to be a common trend where I manage to shoot something not so far from the car. Maybe I should romp around less.....

This fox pest control shooting video is on a small 100 acre block I've just gained access to. Out with the Lithgow LA101 17HMR and PARD NV008 LRF I tottled to sort the poultry killer out (Or killers).

The owner of this block is very happy as he figured there was "a" fox which had killed all his chickens. Nope there's foxes everywhere out there, more than one of the buggers. He is already chatting with more neighbor's to get me on their blocks too. Win win that one, great example of doing the right thing and getting a few points on the board.

This video is all the common and repetitive questions I see in the comments on most of my YouTube videos. Be that hunting property access or location details, thermal scope recommendations, what do I eat from the shooting trips etc. Hopefully there's a few small pointers in here for everyone and it might give you an insight to the sheer volume of questions everytime I upload a YouTube video.

As of Monday morning ALL of my state - NSW in Australia will be in lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please everyone stay safe and do the right thing, we can all get through these hard times together.

Great night out shooting foxes with my custom 6mmBR rifle and thermaaal gear - Thermion 2 XP50 scope and a InfiRay E6+V2.0 thermal scanner. My version of rehoming foxes for pest control is shooting. If you don't approve of that..... Well this is not for you !!!

I haven't been out on these local lucerne flats for a few months, as usual the foxes were about on the prowl. I managed to "rehome" 8 of the red dawgs in 3hrs on foot walking around this 300 acre farm. Happy property owner as usual.

Amazing thermal conditions - Nice dry, low humidity clear air. It was 0°C when I drove out the gate for home at 11pm.

This shooting trip I'm out hunting invasive feral pigs and foxes on private property. I've got the ATV Quadbike and two rifles. My 6.5PRC Bergara B14 HMR Wilderness and the Custom CF Tikka T3 in 6mmBR with a Pulsar Thermion 2 XP50 rifle scope. The weather conditions were terrible, I forgot my good rainwear but the hell with it, Lets go shoot some pigs !!!

Managed to cull 28 feral pigs and 6 foxes for the property owner. There's plenty of action packed footage in this video with my GoPro head mounted and on the ATV. As usual there's also no shortage of close range kill shots with the thermal scope too !!!

These feral invasive animals don't stand much of a sporting chance with this type of pest control / shooting / night hunting. But that's the idea......... Critters on the deck and not killing native animals and damaging agriculture is the aim of the game !!!

Since I had this 6mm BR custom rifle built up on my Tikka T3 action, IBI CF barrel and Hi-Tec carbon fiber stock you guys have been chasing me to make a video on it. Well here it is with all the details, spec's and pricing of process.

I talk through why I went the routes I did on components, cartridge choice and all the finer details. This type of rifle build video might not be for everyone but I'm very interested in what you guys think. It's a first for me making a specific rifle video so lets see how it goes.

I have a strong expectation this video will be demonetised and restricted to over eighteen but we shall see. This platform has a track record for not promoting content like this as it's not inline with all the policies.

This pig hunting trip I'm out shooting boars with 3 other mates - All using thermal scopes and scanners. We racked up quite the tally of with 44 pigs, 6 feral cats and a handful of foxes and hares. Of course I'm running my stumpy Ruger American in 308 Winchester.

Wet weather certainly had an impact but we still had an amazing hunt. Having the ATV quad bikes allowed access to area's that were way out of bounds in a heavy 4x4. Some muddy adventures resulted in dirty bikes, guns & riders but huge grins all round.

I'm already scheming for the next hunting trip with these boys when the wheat harvest starts in a few months.

For those interested I'm shooting a Ruger American Predator 18" chambered in 308 Winchester. Fitted into a MDT Gen 2 LSS chassis and running reloads with 150 grain Hornady SST projectiles. My thermal scope is a Pulsar Thermion 2 XP50.

Hunting pigs / hogs on and around a sorghum crop / stubble with my 308 Winchester rifle. The thermal gear certainly is amazing in these conditions but it is challenging to get the buggers with so much cover in the crop. They only come out to drink and mainly in the wee hours of the morning, Worth the effort though and the thermal conditions were nearly perfect resulting in some fantastic close range recordings through the Thermion 2 XP50 scope.

Great trip on the ATV shooting these feral animals with the thermal equipment. Challenging to get the buggers with so much cover in the crop.

Final tally was 15 pigs, 4 feral cats and 10 foxes.
