Hammer Down Invasive Pig / Hog Pest Control || 308win Thermal & 6.5PRC Long-range Killshots 2022
An amazing season in Australia is resulting in higher than average invasive feral pig / hog numbers. With the abundance of grass and feed crops for these feral animals to raid, pest control via shooting is a successful measure. Using an ATV, 308 Winchester rifle and thermal equipment is a huge asset in gaining an advantage and getting hammer down on the pigs. Join me on this shooting trip where I put a dent in the population of an area I regularly frequent. I also filmed a few fantastic long-range killshots with my 6.5PRC on feral goats to use as trail camera bait for foxes and wild dogs.
I'm shooting the following rifles in this video:
* 308 Winchester - Ruger American Predator 18". 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.
* 6.5PRC - Bergara B14 HMR Wilderness, Athlon Cronus BTR Gen 2 4.5-29x56mm scope.
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.

Happy New Year Nath, mate that was an awesome video. Whilst some people don't realise the expense and the effort that you have put into producing this channel, I now have an even greater appreciation. The planning, the equipment and the actual hunting all take a lot of time and effort not only before and during but also afterwards in the editing studio. A Hearty Well Done for your fantastic contribution.👍👍😎

Always enjoy seeing animals say their final goodbye when they don't belong here. Some nice bloody sizes too. Thanks Nath, every one dead is one less alive. Getting lost at night brings back memories of trying find my way back after I lost sight of the flood light I would leave on front and back of the farm house. Was 24000 hectares but I could usually see it from a few k's away every ten minutes or so. Took me an hour of paddock and scrub bashing aswell as getting stuck driving down a creek bank I didn't see in a chopped Datsun 200B. Only got 4 foxes and a couple of cats that night.

Hi Nathan, great to get you back. I hope that you were able to take a break with your family over the new year. Yours is the only shooting channel I watch/am subscribed to because I respect your standards and ethics. Feral control is the bottom line or the occasional hunting for food. No slaughter as I have seen in the past with some channels. I also find your explanation of the countryside interesting, so keep up the commentary on the local environment. The lambs reckon that if they stand next to you then they are safe and won't get shot or attacked by feral dogs. Looks like they could have been bottle fed orphans. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

Thanks mate. Yeah those lambs wanted a bottle, friendly little guys.
Nice point about the light on the vehicle. I use a solar garden light ( el cheapo Bunnings $2 type) mounted on the top of the pole of my orange flag on my 4x4. My step dad walked around the country ( literally, the entirety of Highway 1) a few years ago, having previously walked from Freo to Melbourne, and a couple of years later, from Melbourne back to Freo. I set him up with the same setup on his buggy he pushed ( modified jogger pram) as he was starting to walk around 4am to avoid walking in the heat of the day.
