This contracted shoot I'm solo and hunting invasive feral pigs, foxes and feral cats. There's over 100 killshots in this video running the brand new Thermion 2 LRF XL50 1024x768 HD thermal rifle scope. If you're seeking a video with bulk shooting footage and no bullshit (maybe a little), this is your happy place !!!
It was great to be out in my mate Darren's Wedgetail Hawk Camper and riding around on my Suzuki King Quad AXI 500 ATV. Weather conditions varied greatly with low single figures one night to mid 20's another, was nice to be camping with decent airflow through the canopy that's for sure.

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. Pigs are left where they lay as carrion, nothing generally lasts more than a week in the Aussie bush before it's just a few scattered remains.
I am a vertebrate pest control - contract shooter in NSW. For those wondering about the suppressors, both my mate and I hold the necessary permits in NSW to do so. If 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.

My 308Win rifle is a full custom, which I will review soon to share all the details properly. Action is a Defiance Machine Tenacity, Triggertech Special trigger, 18 inch Carbon Six Barrel, Wedgetail Industries Suppressor, all in an MDT HTN26 Carbon Fibre Chassis. I'm running Fiocchi ammunition with 150 grain Hornady SST projectiles and a sprinkling of subsonic rounds, which are reloads using 190 Sub-X projectiles. My thermal scope is a Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XL50 and for the scanner I'm a Pulsar Merger LRF XL50 which is also 1024x756 resolution !!! Daylight scope, I'm using a Japanese made Zerotech Trace Advanced 4-24x50mm.
If you are interested in a thermal or night vision device in Australia, have a chat with Ben from Hunt the Night.

Variegated thistle is sometimes incorrectly referred to as Scotch thistle. However, the true Scotch thistle (Onopordum acanthium) is not known to occur in Western Australia (WA). Variegated thistle is a native of Eurasia and the Mediterranean and was probably introduced to WA in the early days of settlement. It is a declared plant (noxious weed) throughout the State. It is a weed in New Zealand, North and South America, South Africa and Afghanistan as well as in the countries of its native range. It is also a weed in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania and Queensland. Spot On!!

Solid content man, I didn’t realise how bad our feral pest issue was until I found your channel a few months ago and I’m Glad I did as I’m currently considering going through the processes of licensing and getting into this line of work, which I probably wouldn’t have delved into at all if I hadn’t have found your channel. Keep poppin pests and educating those who are unaware of how ripe the issues are because we all know the gov doesn’t care about anything that doesn’t fill their pockets.
