Painting the Stubble with Hogs || Invasive Feral Pig & Fox Pest Control Shooting in Australia
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- This contracted shooting job we are out targeting invasive feral pigs / hogs and the odd fox. Things get a little wild in and around the sorghum stubble, I'm running my 308 Winchester rifle pretty hard sometimes, fitted with the Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XL50 1024x768 HD thermal scope. There's plenty of action-packed footage in this video, mostly after dark, but also a little in the daylight. If you're seeking a video with bulk shooting footage and some Aussie shit slinging between mates, this is your happy place !!!
Access into this area is with my mates Polaris XP1000 Northstar side by side ATV buggy. This machine is purpose built for his contract shooting business and works amazingly well in the terrain type we are in. Big thanks to my unnamed mate "Bucket" for the call-out seeking assistance on this control program. Yes, this is "work," and we are out shooting from late afternoon nearly right through till dawn. But that doesn't mean we don't get to have a few laughs in the process.
For thermal scanner duties, I'm running the amazing Pulsar Merger LRF XL50 thermal binoculars in a chest rig. I'm yet to use a device it's equal in image and functionality in all aspects. This IMO is the best thermal scanner you can buy as of posting this video in May 2024.
On the roof of the Polaris ATV we are using a Thermtec Wild 635L thermal monocular for vehicle based scanning when mobile. Worked amazingly well with a great WIFI signal, sharp image, plus the LRF was one of the most powerful I have ever used.
If you are interested in a thermal or night vision device in Australia, have a chat with Ben from Hunt the Night. He supplied me with the Thermtec Wild 635L to test, generally has the best prices, but definitely the best support and thermal knowledge. Supporting him, helps support me make more video's, so a win win.
We are not shooting feral pigs for human consumption on this trip. It is purely pest control of invasive species in Australia. These uncontrolled animals are an environmental and agricultural menace, often carrying bacteria and diseases like brucellosis. Pigs are left where they lay as carrion. Nothing generally lasts more than a week in the Aussie bush before it's just a few scattered remains.
I am a vertebrate pest control - contract shooter in NSW. For those wondering about the equipment being used, both my mate and I hold the necessary permits and licences when working under paid contracts in NSW. This isn't hunting, it's professional pest control. If you are seeking information regarding that, please check the FAR webpage for details in your state. All shooting is performed on privately owned farms, with exclusive permission granted in writing for paid services.
Please don't ask how much I earn or how to become a contract shooter, I'm not a business adviser. The requirements and information vary state by state, if seeking this information, research your own states legislation. I get this question a LOT, and it's not a path I wish to go down on social media. I share some of what I do with these video's, but, if it's a path you wish to follow, that's on you to research (as I did).

What a great vid mate! While the entire production was of course very well done, that intro deserves its own mention. The subtle details in that edit are very much appreciated. It played really well dude, freaken cool👍🏻
Great to hear the effort is noticed 🍻
@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK Everyone who's anyone watching notices the quality of your productions. Why? Because we've already seen everyone else's rubbish!
Thankyou Bucket, the ultimate wingman
🫡✨☮️🇦🇺
lol, even though I think you said there that you were helping Bucket on his job. Ha
Well done Bucket for keeping Hollywoods screen clean so he can take all the glory !
Bucket " it's bouquet" 😅
😂😂😂
PMSL
😂 bucket gets a new nickname, hyacinth 😂
I’ve been binge watching your channel over the last month or so and it’s cool to see how far your production has come along with the tech you’ve been able to get your hands on since you’ve started. Your dry sense of humour has stayed the same through 👍keep up the great work!
Yeah that won't change, humour that is 😎🥵😆. Thanks mate 👍
Bits going everywhere!
Aahhh... More heart warming Fauna & Flora rebalancing.. Ty to Major Bucket for Driving & Windscreen Operations!
gold!
Old skool carnage!! Heaven on a Friday night. You the king!
Well done Bucket for keeping the windscreen clean👍👍👍👍👍
If you ever watch the channel Kentucky Ballistics, there is an ongoing joke when a jam occurs, and I just kept on hearing that for every hiccup. Must be very frustrating to have it all lined up and the silly thing doesnt fire!
Hugely frustrating indeed
You just got jamd
@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK Was it the supressor gasing up the rifle?
@@trevormustey4418Is that a thing??
You just got jammed
Thanks BUCKET.
*EDGE of the OUTBACK* Bravo well done, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.
This has to be one of the best videos you've chucked together so far mate .. the pure quality of all of the footage, the semi auto, the crispness of the thermal with all the new gear youve been running and the sheer watermelon splashes youve got going in the thermal. Keep it up!
Great to sere your channel back up Nathan! Great video. Looking forward to seeing what you've been up to in the NT
Thanks bucket for keeping the windscreen clean
awesome country side, so different to here in NZ but very cool!!
Thankyou for keeping the show clean, windscreens and language. A joy watch
Yay Bucket! The windscreen wizard! Thanks for cleaning that mess! Oh, and great shooting as always!
Nice work Bucket, I hope old mate shouts you some Dirty Bird next time you two are in town!
Nice shooting Nathan as always, big shout out to buckets as always a great mate.
Bucket, Thanks for viping ze vindow
Great stuff Nathan. Looks like a good result, especially the 2 for 1. And the trying conditions you and Mr Bucket had to deal with.
Thanks 👍
Never a dull moment with you Nathan.
Glad you're back to what you do best😊
Thanks! 😄
EDGE of the OUTBACK is my favorite sitcom. Nathan’s humor even gets some of the pigs rolling!
Thanks to Bucket for being a great wingman. The production values are getting better every episode. You’ve even got intro music!
Always a thumbs up, and looking forward to seeing the next episode. 👍🏼
Cheers mate 👍
Another great watch......and well done Bucket!
Thanks Buckets a great sidekick.
Picasso , it's Raining pork jerky 😆
Pre thinned
Onya Bucket. Nice windscreen & yer a good bloke putting up with all that cheek.
What thermal unit is that you're using on the display inside the vehicle ?
Thermtec Wild 635L
Thanks Bucket. I appreciate you keeping the boy in line. To say the ground is a bit wet would be an understatement.
Yeah she was pretty squashy, wasn't it.
Thanks Bucket, you really clear things up.
Always a pleasure to watch. Well done Bucket, the clean windscreen made all the difference.
Nice work Bucket!
Well Nathan, to you and Mr Bucket, job well done cobber. Thank you both.🤠
You're a legend bucket! Although I do wonder how much is on the inside of the windscreen!
😆
Love the footage you bring and yes people are gunna whinge about everything but I'm sure they carnt do what you guys do in thermal on the run love it keep it coming oh and not to mention I'm sure half the people that sook about things have never walked and stalked a deer or even got that close to one in the woods thumbs up from me no whinging or bitching 👍
Cheers mate 👍
Thx Bucket
Nice work bucket, got to keep the talent happy
Well done Bucket 😂and the editor for his job on the curse word’s 😂
Dude, I was trying to show my friends all last week your channel, they all think I'm crazy 😂, glad to see you back, never realised how much I watched your stuff until it was gone
Another excellent action packed video Nathan, well done.
Geoff. UK.
Never seen a calf do that!! Stuck in fences and gates yeah...
Grunters are in plague proportions, ur doin good work fellas..
Hey Buckets.. ya missed!!
That is a large pig farm.
Few about isn't there 😫
Wow its amazing how many wild animals you have over there.
Great vid as ever. Its alright you moaning about the weather, after all it is your winter, but that's what we've got in our summer, ruddy wet, and a cool 16C. Big Steve, East Yorks., England
Mate there was some epic on the run shooting at distance. Top stuff.
What’s your thoughts on the Thermtec gear?? Just become an ambassador for them here in NZ and waiting for a Wild 650L to arrive.
The Wild 635L is a nice bit of gear. Will depend on your terrain in NZ, but the 650 will have a narrow FOV you might find restricted. But it'll have a very nice image.
@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK cheers bro🤙
Bucket! My windshield could be cleaned, can you do it as well as you have for your Mate?
Crikey, that's some mighty fine shooting Nate, on yah Bucket for keeping the vision clear and keeping Nathan on his game... "yah missed" lol
Great work boys ,onya Bucket
Great to see you back up & showing us how to do things or not too.
Thanks for cleaning the windscreen bucket 👏👏👏👍
Nice one Nathan,

hi, at about 12.45 on the vid what are the hot spots in the trees behind the pigs. cheers
Great work, great humour. Thanks.
Well done Bucket. Chief windscreen cleaner. 😀🤘😂
Good job Mr Bucket top video Nathan.
That faulty 308 sounds like the same feeling you get when your circular saw is 'on the frtiz' while you're in the middle of a big job. The same expletive's just can't help but come out! LOL
Pretty much!
Top job on the windscreen Bucket, clean as
Windscreen looking good Bucket…..!!!
Nice work Nathan and Bucket.😊
Thank you Mr Bucket :D
A great outing, the windscreen wiper did a great job 🤪

Hugely appreciated mate 🍻
So glad to see a new video. You and Buckets make an awesome team. A great wingman indeed. Thanks and Cheers.
Another great video Nathan. Look forward to the next one. Thanks to Bucket for cleaning the windscreen.
Thanks again!
Mate can you tell me how your laser pointer goes on the spotlight handle? Been struggling to work out where to mount mine as theres not enough real estate up top with the light and monocular...like u need so.ething to walk to when the thermal is fixed on top with the light...
Another great video Nathan & Bucket. You certainly earn your dough on these pigs. Great work keep it up!
Cheers mate 👍
It's pronounced Bouquet! lol
😆
Cheers Bucket
Super ecohunting!👍
Thanks Bucket! Bloody gentleman. Great clip again, I like the muzzle view looking back at ya. Not too much please. haha. Fancy upgrade from the cold KFC but nothing wrong with that. Cheers
Thanks 👍
Thanks, Bucket!!
Awesome video content.
Thanks!
Good job bucket. You have found your true vocation in life. Bravo from Victoria Australia
Cheers mate 👍
Cheers all. Made it a great vid Bucket.
Bucket 👍
What causes a lot of problems is temperature change works well daytimes plays up when cold.
It's definitely scared of the dark.
Have you made a video about your thermal setup on the buggy with the display so you can see heat signatures on that display in the vehicle?
On my friends machine, no. But there's a build video on my quad with the screen.
Onya Bucket!!!
Niiiiiice.
👌👍 Sir Bucket

Jim
