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

This shooting trip I'm solo and hunting feral pigs and the odd fox. There's plenty of bulk action packed footage in this video, for a twist I'll show you how I'm utilising an Ebike from EORB Australia to move around with stealth and take care of business. All animals shot are introduced invasive species in my country.
I'm not shooting for human consumption on this trip, it is purely pest control of invasive species in Australia. These uncontrolled animals are an environmental and agricultural menace, often carrying bacterial and diseases like brucellosis. Pigs are left where they lay as carrion, nothing generally lasts more than a week in the Aussie bush before it's just a few scattered remains.
I am a vertebrate pest control - contract shooter in NSW. For those wondering about the suppressors, both my mate and I hold the necessary permits in NSW to do so. If seeking information regarding that, please check the FAR webpage for details. All shooting is performed on privately owned farms, with exclusive permission granted in writing for paid services.

My 308Win rifle is a full custom, which I will review soon to share all the details properly. Action is a Defiance Machine Tenacity, Triggertech Special trigger, 18 inch Carbon Six Barrel, Wedgetail Industries Suppressor, all in an MDT HTN26 Carbon Fibre Chassis. I'm running reloaded ammunition with 150 grain Hornady SST projectiles and a sprinkling of subsonic rounds, which are reloads using 190 Sub-X projectiles. My thermal scope is a Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XG50 and for the scanner I'm running a brand new Pulsar Merger LRF XL50 which is 1024x756 resolution !!!
Details to the EORB Australia website - www.eorb.com.au/
The model I'm riding is a FAT1000 - www.eorb.com.au/product-page/...
Saddle bags are - www.eorb.com.au/product-page/...
Red SST-20 LED lights are - intl-outdoor.com/emisar-d4sv2... & intl-outdoor.com/led-flashlig...
White MTB lights are - www.outboundlighting.com/coll...
If you are interested in a thermal or night vision device in Australia, have a chat with Ben from Hunt the Night. He generally has the best prices anyway in Oz.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.
