Hunting Boars with Thermal || Feral Pig, Cat & Fox Cull / Shooting Australia || 308 Winchester

Рет қаралды 284,011

2 жыл бұрын

This pig hunting trip I'm out shooting boars with 3 other mates - All using thermal scopes and scanners. We racked up quite the tally of with 44 pigs, 6 feral cats and a handful of foxes and hares. Of course I'm running my stumpy Ruger American in 308 Winchester.
Wet weather certainly had an impact but we still had an amazing hunt. Having the ATV quad bikes allowed access to area's that were way out of bounds in a heavy 4x4. Some muddy adventures resulted in dirty bikes, guns & riders but huge grins all round.
I'm already scheming for the next hunting trip with these boys when the wheat harvest starts in a few months.
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 thermal scope is a Pulsar Thermion 2 XP50.

@@chrisshepherd1566 True. I've encountered so many cat owners (often vegan hippy types, the hypocrites) who let their cat freely roam about the neighbourhood, including local parks/bushland, where they do what cats do - occupy their nights killing countless small native mammals, reptiles and birds. Responsible cat owners are quite rare.

I'm 75 years old and as a boy I used to shoot bunnies with an old single shot .22. I next used a firearm in the Australian Army in the 1960s, the old SLR. That was a terrific rifle. But i have never seen any rifles like the ones you blokes are using. I would just love to have another shot before I head off into the Great Unknown.

@bruceinoz8002 Ай бұрын

Great video: "A Romp in the Swamp"! Equipment weight: A couple of decades ago, "Ultra-Light Arms" , in the USA, answered the pedestrian hunter's dream. Super-light but extremely rigid synthetic stocks. "Lightened" actions ; fluted receivers and bolts. "pencil" barrels The barreled actions were basically "glued" into the stocks. (The barrels were stress-relieved first. and the stocks were carefully "sealed, to prevent moisture "wicking" down any glass fibres. Expensive? Compared to a "stock" Remington or Ruger, they certainly were, but they were intended for (well-heeled) folk who trek in seriously hilly or "difficult" terrain to bag a bunch of venison and a hat-rack. Modern "alloy" chassis systems are also very stable, but the weight of all the Gucci gear adds up. Robust, "lightweight optics" are another challenge, especially in the thermal and image-intensifier fields. If you can "skinny down" your rifle, there is a bit of "wriggle-room" for optics options that are up to the task.

For decades I've always named any ginger cat Merkin. It's an endless source of amusement - a gift that keeps giving. I hereby grant permission to you Nathan, of *EDGE or the OUTBACK* to continue this fine tradition. Remember though, to preserve the purity of the tradition ginger cats only get the name Merkin - it's a big responsibility. I feel a man of your calibre (did you like that?) is up to this lofty responsibility. Righto, now we've got all that shit out of the way how about an exploding Merkin with a .308 130gn hollow point??
