PIG Hunting • 'CARNAGE' Pt2 • 107 Pigs Down • 308 Bolt Action
Ойын-сауық
Pig Hunting with Bolt Action rifles chambered in 308 and 223. Shooting Subsonic and Supersonic rounds in both calibres. This is Part 2 that you've all been asking for. Out on the wheat stubble this trip. Feral pig numbers have exploded in the area recently due to an abundance of feed and water. As a result, farmers are suffering significant crop damage and losses. I received an invite to head up and lend a hand, which I eagerly accepted. With the pigs becoming quite vehicle shy recently, the most effective method was to conduct all of the shooting on foot. Stalking in on mobs of pigs under the cover of darkness using thermal detection equipment and rifle scopes proved to be incredibly effective. I managed to cull 107 pigs over the three nights which made the farmers very happy. Finished off with a nice 97kg Boar. Can't wait to get back up there and do it all again. Big thanks to Den for his gracious hospitality. It was a hunting trip I'll never forget.

Them subsonic rounds are perfect for pigs, all that practice on range has paid off, well done 107 pigs that’s done the land owner a huge favour,

Great shooting! I'm convinced 308 is the most effective easily obtainable caliber for wild hogs. Those hits with 223 were insane. Our eradicators are having to hit 3 and 4 times with smaller calibers to bring down bigger hogs. That was impressive.

Thanks mate. Lot's of practice. Shot placement is obviously critical. Much prefer my 223. The 308 is more effective.

Nothing wrong with bigger calibers for hogs. The combination of very dense musculature, heavy bones and thick hides make big pigs a tough animal. Combine that with being just plain mean bastards, a bit more than .223 makes a lot of sense. Texas hog hunters have really taken a liking to 6.8 SPC. It still fits in AR15 rifles and offers a serious step up in terminal performance. Hard to argure with the .308 though. Does just about everything really well.
@tacticalmattfoley
Жыл бұрын
@@DriveCarToBar 6.8SPC is awesome!! Many of the guys I know use 7.62x39 because you still have 30 cal and the ammo is/was the most affordable. Only downside: it lacks the effective range of 5.56, 6.8SPC and 308.

You’re lucky that KFC is still edible in your country. It’s completely gone to crap in my part of the US. I’m not even sure it’s real chicken anymore? Fantastic shooting brother. My dad started me on a single shot shotgun and .22 rifle back in the late 60’s. By the time I graduated to pump shotguns and bolt rifles I had learned to make every shot count. Most game was taken with a single shot and no ammo was wasted. Waterfowl hunting was so exciting when 3 shells equaled 3 birds. In all the years of big game or varmint hunting I never needed more than a single round to bring down my target. My dad was wise to start me out with single shot guns. Trap and skeet weren’t much of a challenge with the one-shot one-target mentality. You exemplify that professional attitude in each shot taken. Well done. I’m an old man now unable to get out of this chair. So I really enjoy your videos. It takes me back to better times.

Your dad definitely started you off correctly. I'm not into the whole spray and pray style of shooting. It's important to be ethical even with pests. I didn't really take it up until we moved out of the city in my late 20's. I absolutely love it though and have worked hard to refine my skill set. It really pleases me to get comments of appreciation like this one Jeff. Thankyou. Take care of yourself mate and I'm very glad you enjoy my videos. 👌👊

@@RJMHuntingAustralia Some folks in the US claim that semi-autos are essential to this kind of task, but you're proving that what matters is getting each bullet to hit the target rather than sending a lot of them downrange. The places where I help cull feral hogs have lots of limits on shooting for safety reasons. So we rely on a variety of ways to capture them, including snares, box traps, corral traps and tree stands. A few here and there. But when done every day, it adds up through the year. And that translates into a lot of pork chops and ribs!
