This contracted shooting trip we are out hunting invasive species - Specifically feral pigs on recently cut crops, and new growth freshly planted. There's also a few deer and the odd fox taken if the opportunity presented itself. I'm running a 308 Win rifle which is fitted with a Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XL50 1024x768 HD thermal. There's plenty of action packed footage in this video in both daylight and after the sun sets. If you're seeking a video with bulk shooting footage and no bullshit (maybe a little), this is your happy place !!!
Access into this area is with my mates Polaris XP1000 side by side ATV buggy. This machine is purpose built for his contract shooting business and works amazingly well in the terrain type we are in. As you'll see we tacked my EORB E-Bike on the back to see how it rolled closing the gap silently on the pigs in the open. Bloody hell wasn't that a win, and it'll now be a tool used more often where we need to cover large gaps to get closer to vehicle and noise shy feral animals.
Big thanks to my unnamed mate "Bucket" for the call out seeking assistance on this control program. Yes this is "work" and we are out shooting from late afternoon nearly right through till dawn. But that doesn't mean we don't get to have a few laughs in the process.
We are not shooting feral pigs 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 equipment being used, both my mate and I hold the necessary permits and licences when working under paid contract in NSW. This isn't hunting, it's professional pest control. If seeking information regarding that, please check the FAR webpage for details in your state. All shooting is performed on privately owned farms, with exclusive permission granted in writing for paid services.
Please don't ask how much I earn or how to become a contract shooter. I'm not a business adviser, the requirements and information vary state by state. If seeking this information research your own states legislation. I get this question a LOT, and it's not a path I wish to go down on social media.

Epic shoot! The Semi really helps with the count and the follow ups - perfect for your needs. Love your leading shots - experience shows! Keep it up pal. Loved your snap shot on the fox who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. :)
Another brilliant production Nathan. Superb marksmanship and humour with Bucket. Can't wait for the next one. Best wishes from the UK

I was deer hunting in southern New Mexico with a WW2 Japanese Type 99, and feral sow & her piglets walk up to me while I was sitting at the base of a tree. The sow sniffed the muzzle of my rifle, didn't seem to even notice me, then they all walked off.
Using the XL on the 308 Semi auto, certainly revealed how much easier it is to consistently acquire targets as opposed to working a bolt and this was borne out by your excellent performance and final tally aided by the electric bike massively reducing the time taken to get within range. A really superb video and a tremendous job of work

Your shooting has improved out of sight last couple of years it really shows the difference from weekend warriors to PRO. Low recoil semi auto's and fabulous optics help but the nut on the but is the biggest factor . Another great video with great content Cheers.
