EBIKE Pig Hunt || Feral Animal Shooting with my 308Win Rifle & Thermion 2 LRF XG50 Thermal Scope

[@legallyblind393]

I honestly have to say you give a good name to hunters/shooters. Not irresponsibly shooting near other animals and you always make sure to completely put down the animal your hunting. Massive props mate.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Cheers mate 👌

[@QIKUGAMES-QIKU]

​@EDGEoftheOUTBACK how much bike set you back.. that's a super quiet rifle usually suppression isn't that effective.. what's your load out?

[@almostthere2024]

Yep, and super sharp on the bolt and drop.

[@bernarddaly5484]

Do you pick what you shoot ,or leave them ,picking up all those pigs would be a right pain

[@andrewallason4530]

@@bernarddaly5484especially when riding an E-bike. 😝. The farmer probably gets a list of the rough locations, and can pick the carcasses up at their leisure for ‘disposal’. Some carcasses left behind make for good bait for a future hunting session.

[@rodgeorge7244]

Another fine effort Nathan I can't believe how many pigs are up your way if guys like you weren't out shooting the bloody things we'd be completely overrun by the bloody things.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Crazy numbers ATM

[@robhunter7236]

Mechanical failure in remote areas has always been a worry for me. Its amazing how cable ties can get you out of deep trouble. You just need to carry a bigger bundle :) Theres always stray wire along fence lines - - - - You know - - - From busted wires and repairs and such :P Your segments are always entertaining and my hats off to you for solving the breakage, getting out of trouble and continuing with the job at hand. Multi tasking whilst freezing your arse off takes some skills :)

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Really appreciate it mate 👌

[@VegasMikeP229]

This I understand! The US Navy "volunteered" me to Asmara, Ethiopia. After losing one of two bolts that held the gas tank on my 750 Norton Atlas motorcycle, I spent a weekend drilling and safety wiring ALL the bolts on my Norton and my friends Triumph Bonneville. We could get way too far away from civilization on the bikes outside Asmara and pushing a 400 lb motorcycle back wasn't going to happen. Today it would have been blue Loctite but way back in 1968, safety wire was the choice. Great video too!!!

Watched it all over again and have to admire your dedication and passion continuing to shoot pigs as you make your way back in limp mode. I reckon you’d score very highly on the European Running boar targets given this performance

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

I'd like to have a crack at those moving target ranges they have over there. Looks like my kind of gig for sure.

[@derekedgley5074]

@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK without any humbug, the way you were downing those running pigs I’m sure you would excel. Scandinavia also do running Moose, which is about the size of the proverbial barn door.

[@MercutioUK2006]

Just finished watching an upload from Cutting Edge Engineering, now it's EoTB .....lots of great content coming frm Austrailia. Some great shooting on those oinkers mate, especially as a lot were moving - and you slot in a LoTR quote too for extra points. Ever thought about a trailer for the Ebike?

It’s incredible the amount of wild pigs now, in open paddocks I do realise it’s night but years ago we only seem to get them around wet areas. That’s an absolute pain in the arse about the e-bike shitting itself but other than that great video Nathan keep ‘em coming.

Any chance of a video showing your mopping up/how you collect all the things you drop and explaining what you do with them ? Always a good watch your video's must be the best job on the planet 🤙🤙🤙

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Feral pigs are just carrion on most shoots. In Australia they often carry disease and parasites (worms, tuberculosis, brucellosis etc). Unless you are very careful at checking these animals, it's not worth eating them.

[@davidhandyman7571]

Great mate. I have wondered how an e-bike would go in paddocks.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

You and me both!

[@ahns1170]

Hi, can you please share your settings for the Thermion? I do own a Thermion 2 xp50 pro LRF but no where near the picture quality your getting. Can be a idea for a short video. Thanks again for your stunning videos.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you seeking brightness and contrast levels. That's something I always adjust depending on the conditions of the night.

[@ahns1170]

That’s exactly what I meant the brightness and contrast. Would be great if you could share some tips on how you pic the correct values depending on the conditions. There is also the amplification level

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

But it changes each night, I tweek it on an animal if possible straight after sunset.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

[@medwynvermin8772]

Something to get checked on your rear hub if the pawls are sticking and you loose drive. Water or wrong grease in the hub can freeze when it is cold and this can cause the pawl to stick in the freewheel position and not spring back. One get you home fix is to take a leak on the hub.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Thanks mate, it actually broke the pawls. But all replaced under warranty 👌

[@nigelbase1196]

Another brilliant shooting video 😉🎯👍

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Cheers mate 👌

I thought it sounded like a bit of short cycling on the rifle but it turned out to be more on the bike too. 🤣 I can’t believe that they are sticking cabbage in to replace lettuce. That’s a crime against humanity!!!

[@paulreid2223]

Good to see you've given Yucky Kentucky a break ..😁 About your ammo ; the 150 gn SSPs not being as effective ; I found the same with the 150 gn Nosler BT on pigs with my last hunt. I'm toying with trying the 150 gn Sierra HPs, or maybe going to 130 gn HPs - either Sierra or Speer . I have a couple of mates who've done aerial culling, and preferred the 130 gn HP loading ..

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

I don't rate the 130's for ground shooting, 150's all the way. The 130's excellent from the air and good downward angles though.

did you figure out what happened with the ratchet in the hub? probably wouldn't have been much fun fiddling about with the pawls in the dark with cold hands. i wonder if they failed or froze and got stuck in - its good that they fixed you up with a new one - there's always hopetech.

It just occurred to me that if you could attach a battery operated fan that would channel all the air flow into the chamber of your rifle. that it would significantly decrease the time it takes to cool down. And you could shoot more rounds out of it in the time you spend out on a shooting op
