50 invasive feral pigs, wild boars or hogs - Whatever flavor you wish to call them. They all fall in this precision kill shots compilation video I've put together. As usual I'm running a bolt action rifle chambered in either 6mm BR or 308 Winchester (un-suppressed) fitted with my Pulsar Thermion 2 XP50 digital recording device thingy. No spray and pray in this video, aim (excuse the pun) is to make every shot count and be an ethical, clean kill. Not always that simple with running targets but us poor old Aussies get a bit of bolt action practice and I think we shoot pretty well - What do you think ??

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.

Fantastic shooting trip away with my mate Rodney hunting feral pigs. Off we went on the ATV and the digital night shooting gear (

Great night out shooting foxes with my custom 6mmBR Tikka T3 rifle, Thermion 2 XP50 scope and a Helion 2 XP50 Pro thermal scanner. For anyone that needs to ask, Foxes are an introduced feral animal in Australia. Do some google work on why we are shooting the fox before you rage the hat and look like a peanut !!!

At the time of upload I don't know if YouTube will restrict this video from monetisation. There are new firearms guidelines which are extremely prohibitive on the type of content you can publicise. Lets have a little chat / rant about the new guidelines in the video so everyone understands where the line currently has been drawn in the sand.

This is my user impressions and review on the Pulsar Helion 2 XP50 Pro. I've had this device from Pulsar in real hunting usage conditions for around 150 hours so far. It's an amazing thermal scanner and well worth considering if your in the market. This isn't a "how to" video with boring unboxing and basic menu function explanations. This is my handle on the Helion as a shooter and user.

Big thanks to Pulsar for allowing me to play with the Helion and run in through it's paces. Without support from companies who are proactive in the hunting industry like this, these video's are mostly not possible with the speed tech is evolving.

Big boars were out and about on this ATV shooting / hunting trip. Also a bunch of foxes and some feral cats !!! I managed to smackdown a healthy tally of feral animals with my 308 Winchester and Thermion 2 XP50 scope. No doubt that rig is more than up to the task and it serves its role well on the larger pigs I pegged with it. The smaller animals, well you can't argue overkill is not ethical !!!

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.

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 !!!

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.

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.....

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.
