Shooting Feral Pigs & Foxes || Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XP50 Pro Thermal Scope || 308 Winchester Rifle
This shooting trip I'm out hunting invasive feral pigs and foxes on private property. I've got the ATV Quadbike and my mate Rodney from RJM Hunting Australia. Lets go shoot some pigs !!!
There's plenty of action packed killshot footage video with the thermal scope !!!
These feral invasive animals don't stand much of a sporting chance with this type of pest control / shooting / night hunting. But that's the idea......... Critters on the deck and not killing native animals and damaging agriculture is the aim of the game !!!
I'm shooting the following rifle in this video:
* 308 Winchester - Ruger American Predator 18". Fitted into a MDT Gen 2 LSS chassis and running reloads with 150 grain Hornady SST projectiles. My thermal scope is the new Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XP50 Pro.

First time commenting love the channel fellas. Me, Australia and our farmers thank you for you're service👍
Really appreciate the effort and comment Mick 👍
He seems to make due though..yes?
The new thermal imagery is unreal, the definition is so clear. Love your videos keep it up!
That's the plan mate 👊
The Dynamic Duo did well. Keep up the great work Nathan, yourself and Rockin' Rod work really well together.
Thanks mate. We had a great trip 👌
The L96A1 is an Accuracy International-produced sniper rifle and currently the sniper rifle of choice for the British Army. This was my personal weapon of choice in the British military over a 20 years service period I still have this rifle in my collection which is chambered to fire the 7.62x51mm NATO, plus I have my grandfather's Lee-Enfield Mark 1 chambered in .303 second world war rifle. My side arm of choice is the The SIG Sauer P226 chambered in 9mm get more rounds in the mag. By the way great lead on the targets...awesome shooting mate ⚔️🍻⚔️
The image through that pulsar is amazing!! Definitely following your channel. Love the night shooting the thermal optics!
Great stuff mate. There's a heap of this type of shooting if you dig around. It's what I do 😁
Great to see you back. Keep the videos coming.
"Googly eyes. Not feeling too well". I wonder what could possibly be wrong with it?? Covid perhaps??? 😂😂
Bigger problems than Covid me thinks 😂
hm an acute case of lead poisoning maybe
Kids are always trying to change terms.... "Boogely eyes".
Great work Hollywood and congrats on the Pro-Staff partnership 🤙🏻 🔫
Appreciate it mate 👌
Great work as usual Nathan, congrats to both of you 👏👏👍🏻
Cheers Martin 🍻
Nice follow up shot on the fox. Your videos got Pulsar another sale.
Great to hear you like the shooting mate, and enjoy 👌
Well done Nathan. Your usual humane feral control. Keep up the good work making up for us that don't have the ability to do anything like this.
Cheers Michael 👌
Great optic's and really great shooting........Thanks for Posting !
Cheers mate 👌

Brilliant, loved the one that got hit by the AGM-88 HARM up the jaxie!!! cheers from Ireland.
Thank David 👌
Fantastic follow-up shots.
A solid effort, great work Nathan 👍
Cheers Peter
I really enjoy this shooting with the aid of the Thermal scope and some accurate shots too, of course. I also enjoyed that 'pulled pork' shot there at around the 2:00 mark. Geez who didn't!
Made a bloody mess 🤫
Nice work as always fella, good to see the new scope getting a workout!
Cheers Mark 👊
It was interesting video. Thanks!
The way the ferals are breeding, you guys will never be out of a job.
Absolutely splendid work there Nathan. Had quite a few chuckles.😂👍
That's the ticket mate 👌. Glad you enjoyed it.

Outstanding effort as always mate!
Cheers mate 🍻
"Pig-mist" Down Under...I dig it. Nice work with the shootin irons fellers.
Thanks mate
Its amazing to think how many of the buggers are roaming the bush, well done in trimming the number...
There's a huge amount around ATM unfortunately
I laughed right along with you at the one that went splat.
I felt bad that was my reaction 😂. But it was what happened, so be it. Damn thing just popped.
@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK Great shot
@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK it is a pest control video so dead is dead, game over. FYI I like over kill shots.
Top notch footage both in quality and content. Love seeing ferals getting wiped out, keep up the good work 👍
Appreciate it mate 👌
@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK Sat down with dinner, thx for the tact
Another excellent video Nathan, well done mate. Geoff.
Appreciate it as always Geoff
The exploding piglet was awesome. Is it wrong I kept watching it over and over? Great video as always, give the rabbits a tune up always makes me smile. Thanks
Thanks mate 👌
Awesome brother! Simply outstanding videos here.
Appreciate it mate 👌
The only good pig is..... So, once again thank you Nathan and Rodney
Cheers mate
Always great to see you culling pigs mate !!!! The .308 is a magic calibre for that job !!!!
Thanks Paul
Nothing better after a hard day than watching feral pigs take a dirt nap !! Good job Amigo..
Appreciate it mate 🍻
"Pest control" is my favorite sport, with which you can get rid of pests, and you can also shoot for fun! 👍 By the way, the thermal scope is excellent -- it's so clear, and reticle is so fine (it's $6,000!😲👍).
Thanks mate 👌
Awesome work guys
Thanks Craig
Some very good shooting, I said it, in a comment on Robs deer shooting video that you pair did, that you should do more of these, and keep some of the Aussie banter in it, can't wait for the next one, keep up the good work 😎
Thanks John. I'm working on my footage from the deer hunting now 🤞
Some great shots love the thermal
Cheers Anton
Was a great trip mate. Video came up well. 👌
Thanks mate. Be soon enough and we will be back into it again 💥
Great footage l really enjoy all your videos mate. Cheers
Great to hear 👌
As always good shooting! Your job never ends!
Ain't that the truth 😩
I really enjoy your videos. You boys sure can shoot!
Thanks Daniel 👍
Heck yeah !! I click the like button b4 i watch the video... only because i know it's going to be good! It's good you show all the shots and not just the kill shot. Just shows that everyone can miss from time to time. Cheers and thanks for the entertainment from Penrith. 🇭🇲👍🐗🐗🐗🐗👍🇭🇲
Thanks mate. We had a few shockers on this trip 😔
@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK I'm sure everyone has those trips...... I know i do!🤬🤬🤬
Nice work, Nathan.
Thanks Paul
Magnificent mate, exploding pig was amazing. Another professional shoot!
Thanks Russ
Years ago say back in the 80s we only ever got pigs along rivers and swamps and around water or in stubble crops mainly in NSW and QLD but now I see a lot of people shooting them up in the hills and out in open paddocks like you are doing, we’re you would normally find deer. So is it me seeing things differently or are pigs adapting more to this environment and breeding very well because you seem to find a few large mobs of them. By the way I really like your videos and the Thermal is brilliant keep them coming.
Thanks mate. The pigs move around a lot depending on the season. Mountain pigs transit into the crops and vise versa.
Great nights work there. Well done guys
Thanks Rod
Imagine the destruction stopped of farmers properties if Australia had semi automatic pest control firearms.
It's very sportsman like keeping it old school with that bolt action.
I'd run a semi if possible in Australia but they are hugely restricted to own 😩
@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK 💯 PERCENT right 👍
7purse We use To have semi autos ,still couldn’t keep up with the pigs , currently about 18 million according to government figures
I see you use the MDT Chassis made in Canada I love mine... great video...
Cheers 🍻
2:04 Are you SURE that's 308? Good Lord....😲...but nice work regardless. That thermal imaging is absolutely out of this world.....I used very basic NV back in about 1983 or so whilst in the army cadets and the difference is, literally, night and day.
Yeah thermal has hugely advanced. Even in the last 5 years.
Those Hornady projectiles look worth the money
great video brother ..... just amazing how many pigs are out there ...... keep up the great work mate
Cheers Jeff
The little one that popped had me laughing, still shot of it would make a great T-shirt 👍🏼🍻🇦🇺
Which bit of it 😬
@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK as it is flipping through the air with bits flying everywhere
Another great video 👍
Thanks mate
Great vid mate. 👌
Thanks mate 👌
Well done getting the Pulsar deal Woody,😜
Good shooting and content as always.
Cheers mate 🍻
Good on ya Nathan. So many pigs, so little time. 👍
Yeah they are busy nights that's for sure.
Great shooting mate.good old miss Piggy turns to bacon. And Peter rabbit is no longer hahaha.
Cheers mate 👌
nice shooting as always ...... loved the flying pig , keep the videos coming
Thanks Gary
Good work.
Thanks Deb
Great video mate 🤙🏼
Cheers mate
How fun are those thermal optics on the .308!!! I havnt got to take down any pigs yet, but damm do they turn bunnies and foxes inside out like a treat!
Big time 💥
at 2.02 thats epic!
Big mess eh 😬
Nice work guys,I think you can safely say you blew the s**t out that pig.The imaging with the thermal is as a clear as day light certainly a great bit of kit.thanks for the vid.
Appreciate it Paul 🍻
What 308 ammunition you using?
Reloads mate with 150gr SST's
A coupla likely lads...
Nice
Thanks
It really is a shame you don't have a semi-auto rifle like my PTR91 (H&K G3)... It makes quick work out of large mobs.... Great shooting!
We can only dream 😞
Great shot mate that went everywhere a bit unexpected but Well done they got smoked 🇦🇺👍👍👍👍
Thanks Steve
Old googly eyes that's gold mate. But seriously well done great content good work.
Thanks David
sick video🤙🤙
Thanks mate
Your the one thats sick--these pigs are mongrels--mating 2800 ewes and mark 180 lambs--where are the rest--stinking pigs have eaten them..Open your eyes,pigs eat meat..
Great shooting.
Thanks Wayne 🤟
Loved it bro 👌 top shooting
Was a bit of a shit show shooting on this trip. Big days chasing deer then we did this stuff at night. Burned the wick at both ends for sure.
@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK haha gotta do what you gotta do bro 👌
Top shooting…!👍
Cheers 🍻
Nice Ruger, I like it
Cheers Chris
Pigs musta been tired, lot of them taking dirt naps. Well done fellas, best thing that can happen to feral pests. 👍🇦🇺
Thanks Mark
Nice shooting. I don't know much about guns but it looks like you have some nice gear.
Thanks mate, I run gear that works and is efficient 👌
Good Hunting and comedy 😃 what more do you need
Thanks Simon
Love the Pulsar gear. New scope image is crisp. But the audio recording does not seem up to Pulsar’s usual standard?
I believe the sensitivity of the audio will be fixed with a firmware update 👍
Glad Rodney was supposed to be there. I was alarmed for a couple of seconds to see a strange man standing behind you, eyes open, but apparently looking at nothing in particular.
I think he was a bit broken after a big day on the fallow deer 😬
Rodney: Give us a go with your new rifle Nathan. Nathan: Yea when pigs fly mate. Rodney: That's a nice rifle to shoot mate
😂
Do you guys wish you could have semi-autos like AR-15’s/AR-10’s or are you content with the bolt guns?
I'd run a semi given more freedom of choice.
What bullets have you found to work best in the .308, for this type of shooting?
I like my 150gr pills in the 308Win. Have tried lighter 130-135gr and don't rate them on pigs unless they are standing broadside nicely (which is rare)
Hi Nathan do you have any tips on how you zero your devices I seem to struggle anything past 50
Just bang on, hole in hole POI at 50m. Run core flute with reflective tape on a black target. Key is to angle the target up at about 20 degrees.
😂 little Porky got blown to shit at the 2.00 mark, haha made me night, awesome work Nathan as always 👌 cheers mate.
Thanks Kyle 🍻
Luvvit!💪💪💪👍
Great to hear
Great shooting both of you.
Thanks Keith
Good shooting!
Cheers 🥂
I have just got back from a shoot a couple of day ago did a lot of walking on the first afternoon to no joy second day was a total nightmare riding in front seat rifle in back seat come round a corner an a deer jumps up an I jump out of 4x4 grab rifle an the ammo was sitting on the floor 😅 so that was a lesson well learnt .did get a hine that evening so made up for it .keep up the good work mate 👍
Thanks Phil. We live and learn for sure 👌
@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK one day you should come to New Zealand we can still shoot with semiautomatic .22 for how long is going to be the question 🤔
I've been to NZ 6 times. Awesome over there 👌
Ah no way. I watch both your channels. Thanks for the insight and education. Your pair of legends. Greetings from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
Glad you enjoyed it Sean 👍
Ripper shooting.
Excellent shooting boys fantastic keep them pets under control 😍 🐗 🐇 🐗
That's it mate 👌
Shit sorry was meant to say pest’s not pets
I knew what ya meant 🤟
@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK people watching around the world will be like in Australia there shooting there pets 😂😂
Probably 😂
2:00 ish, always wondered how they made pork mince😂😂
Just like that 😜
Have you ever done a clip on your tripod set up? I'm interested in getting one to assist shooting where the bipod is too low
Yes I have if you dig back. This I is just a cheap Innorel but I'd recommend something better if you get a CF tripod. Mine hasn't held up very well at all.
Your dropping the " pro " word don't let it go to your head mate lol Great work keep it going.
😩 But it's in the device names 😩
@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK & they are a very good device. & we all respect your no shit honest view. Keep up the great work. If I had the $ I wouldn't hesitate in getting 1 just on your advice alone.
That shot tho. Nice.
Thanks Rob
Would you use any other bolt action 308 over this ruger predator in an ideal world? I might buy the exact same for wild boar night shooting, (might be some rain) but keeping the standard stock..
Anything in 308 will work fine. This is only a budget rifle but in the chassis it is extremely accurate. Anything cerekoted is ideal in wet weather IMO.
