So glad to see some wild dogs go down. As soon as you showed the terrain, mentioned dogs and then the comment about snow I had some clues to where you maybe and the wild dog problem there is immense. In my time trekking Aussie bush, dogs by far most worrisome encounters.
Interesting description of what you're about here Nathan. Not being 'trigger happy' is the ONLY way to hunt. Thumbs up for your methods of knocking down these livestock killers.
Well done that man !! Ethical & responsible shooting and a shot too. A positive outcome for our native animals and the property owner . Thanks for sharing.
Your in the same class as Simon6ppc in England. Top notch shooters with real class when it comes to shooting. You know your stuff Aussie, and you certainly earned my sub. Thank you, great watch and good work getting those dogs. Best wishes from across the ditch.
Wild dogs are no joke . When I was a possum hunter in NZ I was running a poison line way out bush and got stalked by a pack for about 3 hours they where cutting through the bush and surrounding me the whole time I have to admit it's the first time iv been happy to get out of the bush !
@@redfaux74 we worked remote blocs often getting chopperd in . We where used instead of 1080 poison we used a small cyanide pill we would wrap a paste over then staple to trees in zip lock bags we ran trap lines to monitor progress and a nice little sideline in fur last step was lamping with .22 Rugers and torches we also did some shooting mainly for goats as we where DOC contractors Deer where fair game and better eating then goat or possum when we where out bush 6 days a week badly hungover on Mondays .
The rundown of the equipment and the scenery is always interesting, but today I'm really digging the rundown of the thought process behind stalking into a good position to do your job humanely. Top notch mate :)
First comment I’ve seen so far that is measured and to the point of what’s being done here,the others all been a bit “hell yeah let’s kill something” Shooting dogs that have gone wild is not something that should be done for fun,the character of someone who dies that is suspect... this is about Australia’s native wildlife and to some extent livestock protection.
You are a good man. Ive seen several of your Vids, youre a Good shot. You use great equipment, have a great ethical outlook and again, you shoot well.... Good on you....pleasure to view
Great video Nathan, I love the dog movies! Typical of Aussie Government paying for a permit for hearing protection! Health and safety, Rules and lots of Fees!
On one hand its sad to see a dog killed but considering what they do to smaller animals, livestock and native animals they really do need to be removed. Great job and another awesome video! 👍
Good! I have a friend who had a hobby farm with 40 sheep. A small pack of domestic dogs got in his paddock one night and killed or maimed 26 that died or had to be put down. The local ranger said it was common for normally docile dogs to pack up and become feral going into a primal rage only to go to their respective homes after the event as if nothing happened and made it hard for him to track them down.
Great shooting mate 👍 👍 My initial thought was that you would have been a bit far back with that lead, but obviously I underestimated your velocity. Well done!
Awesome job mate, great to see someone getting after it! I’d love a run down on your tripod setup and maybe a what you’ve used previously that led to what you use now…
Beautiful setup mate I’ll get around one of these days an setup my .223 But until than love watching your videos an I’m learning some more things so I can use it on the farm for pest control.
Mate like most I hate seeing Dingoes killed but unlike most I do understand why it needs to be done. It's a hell of a lot better than killing everything with 1080. Thanks mate.
1080 is a cruel and bastard poison! But I support the value of shooters helping with land management. These dogs really have a negative impact on the environment.
@@kazwilson425 Contrary to popular belief wild dogs or feral dogs in the wild very rarely survive. There was one study of over 6000 wild dogs killed using latest DNA testing technology that showed only 34, less than 1% were actually feral dogs.
@@TonyKing-ne9qc In NZ we don't have dingos but we sure do have wild dogs killing livestock. I didn't think our bushlands were that much more deadly than the NSW ones.
Ill never forget as a young fella just on my Ps driving from our farm to stay with a footy mates family on the Great Divide, i rounded a bend in the road and noticed a very large black and tan kelpie looking dog just like the one you shot working some sheep really tight in the corner of a road side paddock. I slowed to watch the dog working the sheep and realised there were no humans about. I pulled over and got out to take a closer look and seen clearly there were already a few sheep down and others torn up and bleeding. Finally realising what was going on i grabed a shovel out of the back of my ute and went after the dog, i got pretty close before he decided to split and i was begging to wonder if he was alone and if hed come after me. I stopped at the next farmhouse i came across and was told a pack had moved in and kill over a hundred sheep. After tea and scones i headed the extra 40min to my mates house and they confirmed the situation. My mates uncle set up a hunt and over a coupla weekends they dropped 5 dogs and then the remainder moved on. That was a rare event, now bloody wild dogs are everywhere.
That's pretty epic mate. Unfortunately a lot of locations like you described just don't have any sheep now. The dogs just became too bad and costly, both emotionally and financially.

These feral dogs are some pretty tough bastards, feral animals are actually very good examples of healthy animals usually. Its good that they are taken from the environment so they will not cause more damage. Greetings, Jeff
Great video and shooting! Can't hit it if you don't try! I got the right product for you, the new Pard TD night, day and thermal vision would have given you the ID you needed. Ben is presenting it at the deer show this weekend, but will get it to you after to have a play. It also has the proven ballistic calculator and LRF you liked on the DS35. Talk soon and keep up the great work!
Shortly into my thermal rifle scope journey and I can relate exactly to what you have just touched on here in this vid. You are winning with the thermal on picking up and tracking your target, but on the other hand, hesitant (and rightly so), to pull the trigger due to confirmed target. The dogs look like real problems, well done, and hopefully to the shots in the distance.
Love your work Nath. How are you finding the primer shortage? I haven't been able to get my hands on any for months now it's insane so the only option is sticking to factory ammunition.
Great bit of shooting on the fly! You're an ethical guy who will do it right or not at all. I hope you get paid well for your services, as your equipment must have cost you a lot of bucks! First time looking at your video, subscribed straight away!
I’m a state forest tree stand deer hunter in south east vic & I’ve knocked over a few wild dogs out bush now with the dominant colour being that black & tan. Am I right in understanding it’s a common colour combo in thick bush for dingo hybrids?
@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK I'm seeing what you are saying. You don't shoot if you can't identify the target with 100 percent confidence it's the target you are after. How do you know if the other hunters are in that mindset. That's where I'd be worried. Especially with night hunting. If you are sitting in one spot for hours, how do you know if another hunter has not got you in their thermal thinking is that a dog or a human. I might be over thinking this but accident's can happen. On a lighter note. I enjoy your videos 👍
I'd stay in my cosy house each night if I was concerned about another hunter on land I have no legal access or control on. The immediate neighbours are advised I'm working but outside of that there's nothing I can do at all.
@EDGEoftheOUTBACK Here in the US when we hunt coyotes we call them in with sounds (electronic calls or the like). Do your wild dogs respond to calling with "rabbit distress" or anything similar?
If I can't see them, they are a fair way off. And that's not even considering terrain. I can't control someone on another property. Might even have been 5 or 10 blocks down in this location.
*EDGE of the OUTBACK* Bravo well done, thank-you sir for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.

That was a cracking shot with the dog shifting through the brush the way it was. BZ.
Thanks BZ
How quiet does your silencer make your rifle? Does it make it very quiet or just takes the initial crack away? Could you do a DB test?
A suppressor with supersonic ammo only removes some of the noise. You can't eliminate the crack made as the projectile breaks the sound barrier.
Love your work!
Thank you!
Great work Nathan, well done. Especially that last shot.
