Rabbit Shooting Australia with a Thermal Scope on my ATV Quadbike

This rabbit hunting trip was a zip out to a property I haven't hunted in over 10 years. Used to hold decent rabbit numbers and a fair few foxes. I was keen to get out on my new ATV Quadbike and give the thermal scope and scanner a run on the rabbits. Since the drought broke the grass has really shot up, The owner had warned me it was quite hard to see the rabbits and foxes but no way I was staying home. As you will see I racked up a fair old tally of rabbits shot with the thermal scope. I also shot a large feral cat and everyone know's I love nailing them.

Brilliant channel mate. Love all the tec's and spec's too. Keep knocking them down mate. Especially those frigging cats.

@mackbolan1733 2 жыл бұрын

Absolutely agree its a satisfying hunt when you take a feral cat out of the equation...I always feel like I've done a solid favour for the local natives in the area. I'm in SE QLD and just got back earlier this week from a 4 day shooting trip with my older son who's in his early 20's...when I go with one or both of my sons, I take a back seat and let them do the shooting and as usual we did some spotlighting each night and my son took a couple of cats out with a Browning BL22 with iron sights...great video mate, thanks for sharing, I love watching your videos.

Yah it's a little different than a mouse to a moose. It would take a pretty big caliber to scatter moose parts from them guys. I don't hunt the big wildlife at all for a long time now. All though I love venison and prairie antelope taste the best for me. I like to kill time watching you guys and keep knocking them down and be safe. Till then.

Cheers from the US. I get the whole post control. I'd use a big rifle, 25-06 to be exact to shoot 3-4 rabbits per shot. I am referring to a different video than this one, but I get it. Also, here in some areas like where I was doing the pest control, the jack rabbits were completely inedible. They are so badly ridden with parasites that there just isn't anything left for safe human consumption.
