Thanks mate. Hopefully people can watch my videos and get just a glimpse of the work we do

@@intothenight1993 its a pity that us genuine hunters find it almost impossible to get permission to hunt on private land even though ferals are causing massive problems

@@rabsmcsporrin9572 yes because there are so many idiots out there who don’t respect other people’s property so it’s easier to just shut the gates. It the sad truth.

@@rabsmcsporrin9572 Harsh as it sounds the majority of hunters are a problem for genuine effective pest control. 20% (probably less in many cases) get 80% of the kills. But that does not always make them better for control, the key is how few pests remain. Needs to be few enough to stop causing the problem; whether livestock, protected species, environmental damage etc. Scaring them off is only temporary. And the high tally hunter is often not good at getting the hard ones, & like the standard hunter, very good a making them even harder to get, perpetrating the problem. Some of the popular youtube channels are full of it, along with their adoring followers. So some farmers who are actually aware of that situation (not all are) have very good cause to keep what a NZ Conservation Minister accidently but astutely called khunters (got cullers & hunters spliced) as far from their property as possible. Reduces theft, vandalism etc too. It's also been the experience "professionals" including government staff, are not all exempt from the 80% class either. Paying on contract for the absence (or near) of remnant pests sorted that out, with much wailing & gnashing of teeth and bruised egos.

Thanks mate. 👍

We have feral cats Also, I have eliminated over 100 of them on my 5 acres along the river in Nevada . For some reason, my end of the road is where people love to dump cats. I won’t post videos though, I don’t need that kind of trouble

And a pest!!

Recreational hunting is a crime

@@ForestAnimalsusa Nope. At least not in the land of the free or the home of the brave. Where do you live?

Haha thanks mate. 💪

Thanks. It’s not only for the money but we try and look after the well-being of our livestock because we don’t like to see them suffer and want them to be well and healthy.

Thanks Ray. Will do👌👍

Haha thanks mate but I don’t wast my money on the lotto😂

Glad to hear it mate.

Thanks mate.

Thanks mate. He sure was big 🫣

Thanks 👍

Haha pretty much.

It would be interesting to see the difference in areas where dingoes are controlled and where they are left alone. Would need a series of studies. What is interesting is how dingoes have been defined and recorded, in recent times it seems they have been identified as being quite variable, while years past the standard yellow dingo like shown here was the only choice. And other studies suggest most now are hybrids, which seems likely. What is apparent is concerns about control efforts are trivial, as like many pest "control" efforts cleaning out an area only makes room for others. Local sustained control if successful, does very little to the overall population.

You can keep it as a pet instead of hunting it.

Thanks mate. I’ll see how I go mate.

Thanks mate. If they didn’t cause so many problems I’d leave them alone. 👍

@@intothenight1993 yeah I know, but the wild dogs will always be a problem along with the feral cats

Thanks Tony.

Thanks mate 👌

Thanks mate. 👍

Yes it is a real challenge to be able to out smart wild dogs.

Thanks mate. 👍

Thanks mate.

Thanks 👍

Thanks

Thanks mate. 👍

@@intothenight1993 I'll get onto the scalping knife shortly, I've just finished a hunting knife for a farmer so should be able to get cracking

Thanks mate.

Very true

Thanks mate.

@@intothenight1993 Hi sorry to ask questions but what is your name and where do you shoot, Queensland or the NT Thanks Neil

@@neilgreaves2767 All good. My name is Josh and I am in Central Qld

Haha thanks mate. Yep that’s how they roll sometimes. Frustrating but it’s all part of it. 👍

Thanks

Thanks

Definitely

Thanks Bob. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍

Thanks mate 👍

👍

No worries mate. I enjoyed it too😉

Thanks mate. 👍

Thanks, will do!

Thanks mate. Yes I have thought about using sub-sonic ammo in the centre fires but we can’t have suppressors here in QLD so it’s not much point. I mostly use subsonic ammo for the 22LR though.

Thanks mate. No it’s the short answer. I have only ever shot 1 dog with a normal scope in the spot light. And I’ve hardly ever seen many while I’ve been or spotlighting. I think they see the light and take off most of the time. Thermal and trapping is the best way to get them.

Thanks Roger. 🤝

Thanks mate. I do sometimes check for my own curiosity but it stinks so bad I don’t like to do it😂

Thanks Barry. The Ruger American rifles are nothing but brilliant. They aren’t the prettiest to look at and handle but they just work and work well. As for the thermal scope, I probably won’t do a review in it at this stage as there are already a lot of reviews out there for it that are probably better than what I can do. My hand held monocular is a pulsar helion XQ38F. It was my first thermal and it still works great. Although I would like to upgrade to on with a 640x480 sensor sometime soon.

Thanks mate. They come in all shapes sizes and colours. 👍

Actually I did. I got 3 foxes and a cat in the same series just none in that last video.

Yep 👍

That’s for sure 👍

😂

That's the plan!👍 thanks

I use the WTS #3 traps and they have a bit smaller jaw than some of the bigger traps. The cattle feet are too big to get get caught and even if it did grab their hoof, the shape of the hoof allows it to slip out the jaws. A small calf may be at risk of getting caught but I’ve never had it happen yet

thank you for the information, I always thought dingoes were protected but recently found out that dingoes are not native and just another feral to keep in check to protect both your business and the Australian fauna

@@user-ys2td5ub7h no worries mate. Apparently they are protected in the national parks but definitely not here.

What do they do with the carcasses? Are they edible?

Yes. They are most likely mostly pure dingo.

I use a 223 and reloads with 55g Hollow Point projectiles from Hornady. And the thermal is a Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XP50 Pro on top of a Ruger American ranch rifle

Very interesting mate. 👍

Check this out TRUE CATCH TRAPS WITH THE COUGAR TRAP YA CAN ADD A BACK SECTION TO TRAP OR ON TOP PUT A LIVE ROOSTER 🐓 SO IF YA CAN GET A FEMALE LIVE WHEN SHE COMES INTO HEAT 🔥 THAT'S THE BET TIME TO COLLECT URINE FROM BITCH. WATCH OUT TEETH A VERY SHARP LOL I STILL HAVE A RIPPER SCAR ON RIGHT HAND THERE BLOODY SMART THEY WILL GET EVEN WHEN THEY CAN . NOW THAT WOULD BE A RIPPER VID.

I always have a fluffy wind muff on it but I may have been using a different camera at some stage. I’m not sure where in the video you are talking about so I can’t really tell you what camera I was using at the time.

No. I just scalp them and get my bounty for them. I don’t have the time to skin them properly and tan them.

I use DIY custom silicone mould ear plugs from eBay. But I am thinking of getting some good electronic ones.

@@intothenight1993 I appreciate the feedback.

@@michaelpriest6242 no worries mate.

Why do you have to hunt wild boars? Please don't go into the forest anymore

@wearefarmersusa What's this supposed to mean? Specifically, how does your question relate to your admonition, and what purpose would be accomplished by the author's not going into the forest?

Maybe only one or two a year now but it used to be a lot more than that till I started controlling the dogs.

They most likely are dingos and probably pure bred but without doing a DNA test there is no way of telling how pure. But dingoes are still wild dogs and do the same damage to livestock. So they are all a shoot on sight around here.

Possibly one day.

Mostly wallabies and Roos and other small animals but occasionally calves. But they love to chase the cattle and put them through fences which is very annoying.
