ATV Hunting Australia - Fallow Deer Pre-Rut Scouting, Feral Pigs Foxes Hares and Rabbit Shooting

On this little weekend ATV Hunting Trip in Australia we do a bit of quadbike shooting, a bit of pre-rut fallow deer scouting and a tonne of general ride around looking for feral pigs foxes hares and rabbits. It's so great to see the drought pretty much busted in this area with grass (and weeds) in abundance. The feral numbers were definitely lower that usual, but that's to be expected after the rough last few years.

Nice shooting mate. Good to see the feed return in contrast to how dry it was in your previous videos. Well done!

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Cheers Matt. Yeah it was shocking last year to see how bad it was.

[@mattchilders3123]

If you want to bring the hogs in, try using some corn mixed with Cheery/rasberry coolaid mixed into it. It'll bring them in, at least it does in Texas. We also mix corn in a 5 gallon bucket with beer ( know don't cry) and a bad of yeast. Leave it in the bucket with lid and hot sun (which you folks have a lot of) and boy that will bring them in too.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Thanks Matt, some great tips. I'll have to try that. I believe an issue in the region is we are just out of a savage drought. I think the pig numbers took a heavy hit. Be that from the lack of food and water or hunters hammering them due to increased visibility and ability to shoot them.

[@russw5301]

Another great video... Love it.

EDGE of the OUTBACK won’t be long before the boys start hanging around I reckon.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Yes I think your dead right. We tend to chase them in the rut around mid April in this area. Have tried late March / Early April and they seem patchy with the croaking sll. But come mid April they are very active, and for more of the day. It's exciting as and I'm keen to get back that's for sure.

Bit of grunt work and throttle.

[@samreeves9247]

How do you do it do you turn your quad bike of tham scan for animals and keep the bike of when you shoot

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

I scan and ride at the same time if possible. Sometimes I'll pull up and look around.

[@samreeves9247]

Do you turn the quad bike of to shoot ?

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Most of the time - yes

[@mattchilders3123]

Great Video fellas. Educate me a little please, why clear the trees? Why not just scoot around them? Courtesy to the land owner which I could completely understand due to cattle ranching or preventative to damaging the bikes? Great shooting for the fallow... Tastes as good as axis.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Thanks mate. That country is too steep to just ride around the trees. If we can scoot around generally we do. A lot of the stock work on the property is with horses although it is nice to clear the tracks for the people up there. The camera does the gradient no justice if we are clearing them off. Quads, tops heavy with guns are a bad mix on a big side slopes 😭

Mate I love hunting pigs and dear myself but I believe it is illegal to use a drone for hunting deer?????!!

Is that true? Care to share the NSW regs on that for private land. And BTW we aren't "hunting deer" with a drone. I was looking at dams for pigs through the day. And the deer were spooked out by the drone. More opportunity.

Mate you can use a drone to video your neighbors legally where is the state law your stating?
