Big boars were out and about on this ATV shooting / hunting trip. Also a bunch of foxes and some feral cats !!! I managed to smackdown a healthy tally of feral animals with my 308 Winchester and Thermion 2 XP50 scope. No doubt that rig is more than up to the task and it serves its role well on the larger pigs I pegged with it. The smaller animals, well you can't argue overkill is not ethical !!!
All the animals shot in the video are introduced, invasive feral species in Australia. These animals are being culled for pest control purposes. Whilst this is labelled a hunting video a lot of this footage is purely pest control shooting. There is no "fair chase" other than shooting straight and true resulting in the most ethical kills possible. I'm performing this role with professional equipment for property owners who grant me access and require assistance.

For those interested I'm shooting a Ruger American Predator 18" chambered in 308 Winchester. Fitted into a MDT Gen 2 LSS chassis and running reloads with 150 grain Hornady SST projectiles. My scope is a Pulsar Thermion 2 XP50.
