- A bit of a mix of a few different feral pests taken out in this video. But it just goes to show how handy it is to have a semi-auto when you come onto a mob of pigs in close quarters!!

Thanks to people like you our little native animals and ground dwelling birds have a chance of life thank you
👍
Great vid mate. Chasing piglets can be such a laugh. It's always good to get the new guy to run after them.
Haha yep
Great vid!!! Didn’t realize so much effort goes into setting dog traps! It’s def an art and not just set and forget.
Keep up good work
Yes it is an art but very rewarding.
Great work as always. That pig chase got exciting and the dramatic music was a good addition.
Haha thanks mate
Excellent work and fun at the same time saving native species and domestic animals. Multi tasking at it's best.
Thanks
@@intothenight1993 head your way 4 a beer if u free..😔🤔
@@paulsoutbackgardenaustrali7674 haha I don't like beer 😉
Great mixed bag. Awesome video man. Thanks for the entertainment.
No worries. Yes a bit of a mix for a change. Sometimes the unexpected shoots are better than the planned ones. Just catching the unexpected ones on camera is often hard...
Getting all fancy remove in the traps gonna have to call your MacGyver
That was awesome how much fun was that love it mate
Haha yep
The pig covered in maggots was amazing doesn't take nature long to clean up
Another excellent video. Good to get those pigs. The humble 22 is pretty effective at close range. Especially if you make quick follow up shots with a semi auto.
Thanks mate. Yes the 22 is a great fun caliber and the semi auto just brings it to a whole new level.
Never seen as many maggots, I suppose they’ll be fodder for the local wildlife 👍
Great video bit of excitement with the pigs
Thanks mate. Haha yes it was heaps of fun 👌
That was cool with a little kangaroo people like me from the United States. Don’t get to see that kind of stuff. Thank you another great video.
G'day Josh
Great to see the gadget you made for removing the stakes, as you said takes up a hell of a lot less space in the trapping kit than the hydraulic jacking attachment I suggested and your idea 💡 to make up a gadget for your high lift jack. Like the simplicity of the slide on plate as effectively a fulcrum leverage (getting a bit technical eh?)
I have mentioned previously 'bout foxes chewing off a trapped paw and it sure looked like the one you got was doing that and probably a few more hours later would have been away. As much as they're a bloody pest, you can't deny (and possibly admire) their cunning and desperation.
Keep up with knocking the moggies mate, the little kangaroo rat would have Buckley's if it came up against a cat.
Is Caleb your brother?
Best wishes from South Oz.
Yes, very happy with it so far and a lot easier to carry around.
Haha yes Caleb is one of my brothers. Could you tell?🤣
Great work mate u really got into them pigs. happy new year to you and your family keep up the awesome work. hopefully 2023 is going to be a good year
Thanks mate. Same to you👊
Thanks for sharing your vid’s with us!
Your welcome 👍 glad you are enjoying them.
Great Vid Josh
Cheers mate 👍
That is some mighty fine shoot8ng!
Thanks mate.
Love it! Great video
Thanks 👍
Empressive shooting there.
Thanks
Good job on getting those Hogs on the run
Thanks. It's hard to hit moving targets.
Thanks. It's hard to hit moving targets.
Almost like a Texas hog shoot running around after the pigs, liked that Kangaroo rat thing wouldn't stand a chance round a cat. Keep knocking em down
Yes they are pretty cute.
Those little Rat Kangaroos would be easy prey for bloody feral cats and wild dogs, can’t believe it just sat there while you touched him.
Well done, another great video.................Have a great Easter🦘
Thanks mate. You too
Keep up the great work. Thanks.
Hi do you boil your traps, when dry wax it
Yes I do boil them in a dye and then to wax them I boil water and put the wax in the water to melt. Then sit a trap in for about 30 seconds till it's hot then slowly lift it out and the wax floating on top of the water gives it a thin coating all over. Works very well.
Good video. What is the magazine size you have? You seemed to go through a lot of rounds before having to reload. Here in NZ we're limited to 10 round magazines.
It is a 10 round but I carry a few of them. the secret is in the editing haha
@@intothenight1993 Oh cool, haha. And you have the guns/ammo ready to go when doing jobs on the farm?
@@davidblake8612 haha yep 90% of the time I do carry i rifle or two with me on the property. But it's usually when I don't have one that I see something.
Great vid, well done 👍
Good one bloke 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Well done.
it looks fun.
What were you shooting the pigs with
Semi auto 22LR 🤣
Cool vid fellas.👍.
Shit free little piglets 😮
I like your video's
Glad to hear mate. Thanks👍
awesome, more cats! do a rabbit shoot for Easter? :)
Not many rabbits around but we are away at the family farm for Easter so hopefully can get some fox shooting in.
What do you use for your pan covers? looks like fly screen cut to size.
It is a fabric called organza.
Hi mate just curious what you have your 22 sighted in at
I sight it in at about 30m because I do most of my shooting with it at about 30-50m
Never underestimate the old .22
Especially when you have plenty of rounds.
Or overestimate it. There's a lot of critters wandering about 40gr heavier that would support that.
@@intothenight1993 Solids kill bigger critters better, penetration the key. Like using a 7mm on Elephants, the hard bullets used back then worked well if hitting the right spot. And put you off the game or looking up at teh grass if that right spot was elusive. Bell shot about 700 with a 7mm, speaks for itself. He used it for shooting flying birds too.
It must hav3 taken you a long t8me to figure out where, when and how to set the traps.
Not a lot of time. Its more about taking notice of what the dogs do and where they walk. Keep an eye out for tracks and learn to read them.
👍 Good job mate keep the videos coming show me your 22 I wish I could have one
Its a Kriss DMK22C. Great little rifle but you need a Category C licence to own one in Australia.
U blast Yet not much sound..do u use a silencer...😔🤔
I wish. It's just a quiet gun and the mic cuts most of the loud blast out
Nothing against what your doing I was just wondering are dingos a big problem in your area
Yes they are. 👍
When you stepped on that piglet and dispatched it I could hear the animal rights people's tears falling in their soy lattes.
@@spiderok8663 me too. That was the quickest way i could put it out of its misery. Had i had more shots at it from a distance it might have got wounded more before it died. That's the sort of things they don't think of if they were to see that. They would just think how cruel and inhumane to stand on a wounded animal and shoot it from close range. At least i couldn't miss from that close especially when it wasn't struggling.
I perfectly understand what your doing. The farmers I know care more for animals in a week than these people will in a lifetime. Invasive creature's need to be culled the damage they do is sometimes uncountable.
Hello! Teet arvokasta työtä👍Terveisiä Suomesta
Thanks mate.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Sweet vid I’m heading out today to put some traps down see how I go I’m a Better shooter then trapper only just started using traps
Good luck mate. The more you trap the better you get. Hope you get some.
Thank you very much I hope I can get some we have a bit of a dog problem here at the moment I shot 7 this week an still plenty running around if you ever come through Theodore you come roll some dogs on my place.
@@TXC_GCK_ nice work! Theodore is just up the road a bit. Would love to if I get time.
Would be great maybe when you go to cash in I can take mine in too an catch up at the drop off I’ve got 60 or so I’m running out of room haha
@@TXC_GCK_ haha wow thats a lot. I just ring the fella from biloela and he arranges for me to drop them off in town when Im going through
Can’t do that with a bolt action. Shame our government thinks the way they do.
Exactly right mate.
Very quiet gun.
It is. The action is nearly nosier than the bullet haha
@@intothenight1993 It is a bit like a gun with a silencer. Thanks good video.
@@zoezoe610 a bit. But the camera does make it sound quieter than it is. I usually shoot subsonics out of it but use high velocity rounds for dogs.
try to get that cat that got away please
Hopefully will 👍
Do you eat the pigs
lol definitely not. they are scavengers and mostly eat other dead animals around here and carry diseases. But I have eaten them off grain country where that's pretty much all they had been eating and they taste better than domestic pig.
@@intothenight1993 have you seen the channel deermeetfordinner that guy eats wild hog and cooks them on his vids
@@WyoWellTester no I haven't seen it. What country is he in?
@@intothenight1993 I think he’s from Florida
@@WyoWellTester ok I'm in Australia and our pigs I wouldn't eat unless they are on a good diet. I used to feed my dog the pig meat but I won't even do that anymore since he got a tapeworm that i think he got from them.
Great work keeping them predator numbers down for the natives.
Maybe you should hold off liking the spam/scammer commenters, you can tell by the links being in blue text. I report them when I see them here.
Thanks for that mate. I didn't realize they were scammers. Just thought they added the video to a playlist on another site. Will report them in future.
Our southern states from Texas towards the east are infested with feral hogs. Anyway I ran across this video, "Dingo: Wild Dog At War" it reminded me of the keystone predator, not to be confused with the apex predator. When you remove the keystone predator from the equation, other species either explode out of control or decrease in numbers throwing the ecosystem out of joint. I think the Dingo can be both an apex and keystone in some environments. Please watch it and let me know what you think.
I was thinking while watching your videos that wouldn't the dingo be an effective predator against the other invasive animals, the cat, fox and rabbit. If by removing the dingo's source of food, fox, cat, and rabbits, are you inadvertently causing dingo predation on your livestock? "Food" for thought, how to manage the delicate cycle? ua-cam.com/video/KbbtziC2wW4/v-deo.html
Thanks for that. Yes i have seen it and agree to a certain extent. That might be true out in more arid country where there aren't as many food options out there. I very much doubt that dingos would eat a cat or a fox unless they were starving. They would much rather eat a wallaby or something like that. Yes they often prefer eating the native animals but they will still attack calves and sheep for fun and also to teach their pups how to kill. There is absolutely no shortage of food here in the way of wallabies and kangaroos etc but they still chew calves. So in my opinion they need to go. That's why i shoot and trap all the dingos, cats and Foxes i can. And pigs because they can carry diseases that affect the cattle. That's my view anyway.
@@intothenight1993 Thank you for being open minded!! As they basically said in the documentary that each situation is different, etc. You know what works for your situation.
I would have a very difficult time letting nature "take its course" and would be managing things much as you are, I have to be hands on.
I think that it's easier for dingoes to take a calf or sheep instead of wasting their energy chasing down faster game like wallabies and kangaroos, so they kill domestic livestock.
Feral hogs are prolific breeders and a nuisance to livestock and crops. Have a wonderful day!!
@@intothenight1993 Interesting topic & possibilities. It seems from youtube hunting exercises that in some areas there are not a lot of little pigs (like these ones), and the likelihood of dingoes being the cause seems valid? Drawing conclusions on such interactions can be variable, science helps but is still a "snapshot" when applied to animal behaviour. Had several instances where the pests didn't read the reports and had to work out what was happening & maybe why. It's also a risk to accept what experienced operators assert too, both what and why. Some hunters who produce tallies are misdirected is their conclusions, some very. And get very assertive about their beliefs. Dogs happily eat dogs at times, so foxes etc are likely prey, particularly where dogs are skinny.
There seems no other solutions to protecting stock (exclusion?), although a resident pack that doesn't worry might exclude other problem dogs perhaps. The domestic influence is likely to confound that, & dominance changes.
Aww..Screw foxes..lost a heap of hens cause of em...I never touch em unless I got gloves...they stink..blasting over 30yrs..just some advice 😔🤔😎🗡
Yeah they do stink but it doesn't bother me much.
Killing is fun but not good things you guys doing....
Fence and protect your farms and animals...
It is doable but very expensive and not really viable here.
