Hunting pigs in the drought out Western NSW

Hunting / shooting pigs on foot and off the quad. Not enough water around for the kayak as we are in a drought.

[@FarmandHammer]

If there is ever a zombie apocalypse, I would definitely stick with Stu.

[@HuntingwithStu]

Lol thanks mate

[@mato5758]

But they only come out at night...

[@angelokarantonis7509]

Well I’m sure stu won’t shoot the baby zombies. We need to let some to grow up 🤫

[@vaughngordon1489]

That point blank execution/drive by with the shotty had me laughing😂 awesome video Stu.👌🏽thanks for the upload

[@HuntingwithStu]

No worries mate

The drive-by execution was on point stu dog 🤙🏼😂

[@HuntingwithStu]

Thanks mate, had to keep moving after the others.

[@CanoeingTheEdgeOfTheWorld]

Hot Damn! A new "Hunting with Stu" video! It looks drier than 10 dry things out there. Glad to have another adventure to watch!

[@HuntingwithStu]

Yes mate it was dry but we did also get a fall of rain while we were out there which was good.

[@charlieeames8598]

When you notice the 30/30 is literally amazing

[@HuntingwithStu]

Thanks mate yes it is a fav of mine.

[@crazy-john]

Welcome back Stu and Steve haven't seen you guys for a while and thanks for sharing the video guys. It looks so so dry out there in West of NSW.

[@HuntingwithStu]

Thanks mate yes it is dry alright mate.

[@crazy-john]

Yeah I was out there a few weeks ago and its bone dry. They are getting very cunning and coming so close to the homesteads.

[@crazy-john]

Great news mate and can't wait to see the new video 👍👍

[@andrewplatt7795]

Great vid and STILL NO RAIN! Damn.. dustier than 11 dusty things! Keep up the great hunts, great content and great narration for sure.

[@HuntingwithStu]

Yes it is dry mate thanks for the support.

[@lachlanyounie9238]

Great video stu, I was out towards western nsw, out past dubbo by 4 or so hours about a month back. I invested in a quad and I built a proper cage and shooting racks around 360 degrees. I used it last trip and ended up with 67 pigs in 5 days. But the drought is really hitting hard. Very sad.

[@HuntingwithStu]

Wow good hunt mate! yes it is dry alright.

[@Verminterminator]

Loved it when I got the notification of a new Stu video - Never knew Id learn so much about mechanics....lol....

[@HuntingwithStu]

LOL yes mate well that is how I see things working.

[@matthewberry1738]

Good stuff mate pleased to be of assistance.

[@willieboy8798]

my black eagle mama is back ….she is cruisen for nest sights....saw her in the trail camera. we have a local computer in the shed. welcome home mama! her babies get big fast on baby pigs. she doesn't have to do much work to feed them.... she is almost three feet tall. and has a 18 foot wing span. when we go back to critter hunt it should prove interesting! last summer they got so bloody eating babies they had to go to the lake to wash. damn blood glues the feathers together. always fun watching you piggen stu!

[@HuntingwithStu]

Another missed comment, sorry mate. Thanks for watching.

[@carbonseals]

😄 been a long time between drinks Stu... good see your still chasing the action! We're going west next week, wish us luck 👍

[@HuntingwithStu]

Good luck mate.

[@matthewblandford4217]

Awesome to see another clip Stu!! Great shooting 🐷 Hopefully they got a decent bit of rain up there over the weekend

[@HuntingwithStu]

Thanks mate yes it rained while we were up there which was good to see.

[@greatdividehunting7887]

Another cracking vid mate !! What's the model of Sony camera u use and what was your reasoning again as to why u prefer over a GoPro ?

[@HuntingwithStu]

Not sure of the model but it is a 4K job mate. I prefer the sony action cam as sony have been around for many years and I also like how it sits on the side of the head giving a first person shooter angle.

[@roykennard2244]

Lovin that ending mate - crack me up! haha! another good one

[@HuntingwithStu]

Thanks mate pleased to have entertained you lol.

[@connormendez611]

What area? Keen to know, good video👍

[@matthewmoses4222]

Another great video Stu, did you try the 130 grain soft points in your 30-06?

[@HuntingwithStu]

Thanks mate, yes I'm undecided with the 130 grainers as sometimes they hit hard and other times like a running chest shot they don't hit like a 150 grainer.

[@crazy-john]

G'day Stu thanks for sharing the video mate that looks bone dry out there we need rain badly. Question mate is the Adler getting jammed in 14.47? And not loading proper!!

[@HuntingwithStu]

Thanks mate sometimes I don't work the lever hard enough.

[@crazy-john]

All good mate hopefully we'll see couple more videos of you and Steve before Christmas if not have a merry Xmas and a happy New Year be safe and watch out for the zombies when the sun goes down hahaha

[@HuntingwithStu]

About to post another clip this week. You have a good Chrissy too mate.

[@luke1033]

Hey Stu, Would love to see a quick video about how you learned to shoot and hunt, sort of like a background video! Either way keep up the good work and good shots!

[@HuntingwithStu]

I do have a clip called explaining running shots mate, check it out.

[@Rufusthered186]

The correct term is a "Thinging Kabob". Which attaches to "Whosy what's'it". Which makes the whole "Thinhing Ma'gig" work. Thank Christ you know how your bang bang works. Happy hunting.

[@HuntingwithStu]

LOL correct mate

[@87xfute]

Hey Stu don't take this personally, but as a retired mechanic you make a bloody brilliant shot, just stick with that haha and leave the mechanicing to someone else mate. Thanks again for the vid mate brings back a lot of great memories only we didn't have quads it was all foot slogging. I cut my teeth in the Pilliga scrub from the mid 70's to the late 90's ahh they were the good ole days mate. Seeya Rob......how can I send you a private email, if you'd rather not that's all good mate I understand, just a thought.

[@HuntingwithStu]

Lol yes mate I will leave the motor stuff to the mechanics ha. Do you have Face book?

[@87xfute]

No sorry mate I don't do social media at all, sorry !! Just email.

[@kenporter5022]

The way you guys speed through that terrain is absolutely insane! No eye protection is a recipe for disaster! But have fun!

[@HuntingwithStu]

yes mate we do need eye protection.

[@moomoo9611]

Your vids are awesome It really shows how dry it is out there and why we need you to keep doing what you do Did you learn your mechanical skills from Ray Allen during one of his famous warm ups🤔🤔 You saw a fox at the start, do you ever see rabbits? I shot a rabbit once

[@HuntingwithStu]

Lol Ray's warm ups, ha. There are hares around mate

[@Rudabaugh]

How many acres are you on mate? Great vids, keep it up.

[@HuntingwithStu]

Not sure mate but the place is bigger than 10 big things.

[@MickyDee67]

Good shit Stu, keep up the vids, love 'em.

[@HuntingwithStu]

Thanks mate

[@reptilianxlol934]

Stu back at it again with his marksmanship

[@shanevonharten3100]

Always good to see Stu bustin a few grunters. Dry as an arabs handle out west, remember those gum sapplings being green in previous videos. Still got the eye in though and that quad doesn't seem to have got any better. No zombies this trip.

[@HuntingwithStu]

Yes mate dry as 10 dry things, however, it did rain while we were out there which was good to see. No zombies thankfully mate.

[@jacobotes8443]

What rifles you use? Love the aussie way of saying things. Cheers from ZA

[@HuntingwithStu]

I use a bolt action M77 MK II in 30/06; a lever action 30/30 winchester; and a lever action 110 Adler shotty mate.

[@cato7669]

I've been watching all your videos and learning what you do, I was in Ivanhoe NSW on the weekend and finally got my first few pigs!! It took me a while to figure out what to do but after a lot of walking and stalking we shot some nice fat pigs🐗💥, the rain stuffed us up a bit but it's good for the farmers so it was a great weekend! I'm absolutely addicted to hunting now👍

[@HuntingwithStu]

Good to hear mate yes hunting gets in your blood and will never be far from your mind mate. Welcome to the fold.

[@ralstonraz]

Hey Stu - at what range dis you zero your 30 06? And at at what ranges can you shoot it point blank with this setting?

[@HuntingwithStu]

I zero at 30m so it is on again at 200m. I can shoot pigs one barrel length away and out to 300m pretty easily mate.

[@efeightyeight]

On the Tooheys mate! What happened to the Rum cans?

[@HuntingwithStu]

In the fridge mate just needed a beer to wash down the dust first, ha.

[@IISIDESWIPEZII]

The bluing is proper rooted on the ol Ruger now Stu. 😁

[@HuntingwithStu]

Yes mate but she is still on song.

[@pistolpeds]

And that's just the way he likes it.

[@michaelbrady5867]

Gday stu. What torch are you using on the 30/30. Any good?

[@HuntingwithStu]

Yes mate it is a great torch. It is from Olight Australia using a magnetic mount.

[@Locky1205]

Hey man could you do a review on the Adler, I’m thinking off getting one. Cheers

[@HuntingwithStu]

Thinking of doing an equipment clip that includes the firearms mate.

[@mcriser]

Man it would be nice here in Louisiana if it were open enough to see the pigs like you guys can, it’s so thick with vegetation shooting them just really doesn’t work that well.

[@STRICTR31]

She's a struggle at the moment mate, well done and keep on slaying them. Would be keen as mustard to tag along or line up a shoot sometime mate.

[@joeweller9599]

Hey mate, great vid keep up the good work. Just wondering you do any Goat or deer hunting

Thanks mate yes I do but I have purposely kept the channel pig hunting only

[@joeweller9599]

You know any private probably we can go to

[@HuntingwithStu]

@@joeweller9599 No mate I don't. Possibly the best idea is to book a hunt through a hunting property and then chat to the owner about access to neighbours.

[@paulmartin3340]

Mate As usual your vid pops up when I'm at work ! Couldn't wait to watch it. Bloody dry as out there. Good video as usual and like another subscriber mentioned i also watch your old stuff again and again. Oh and do yourself a favor bloke.... stick to dropping pigs mate cause a mechanic you are not !! Lol Cheers bloke.

[@HuntingwithStu]

Lol yes I will focus more on pigs rather than motors mate, ha.

[@kingfisher2291]

G'day Stu, would a 202 be powerful enough to take out a few pigs mate?

[@HuntingwithStu]

Do you mean the 202 Sauer? this is a type of rifle not a caliber. However, anything from 223 and up are all good on pigs. Steve, my huntin buddy says that a minimum of 150grn projectile is needed and I reckon he is also on the money.

I’ve noticed over the last couple of years watching you it’s getting dryer and dryer! Inland NSW? I got 2 pigs the other day where starting to get more and more here

[@HuntingwithStu]

Yes mate it is getting dryer alright. That is good that your getting a few now.

[@hughroughley3363]

Hey Stu, Love the vids. Not a lot around due to the drought. How come your quad sounds like you're always trying to take off in top gear? Keep the vids coming mate.

[@HuntingwithStu]

Thanks mate probs because I am taking off in 2nd all the time lol.

[@bensharpe3762]

Any reason you prefer the 3006 to a 308? Have you noticed any significant advantage or is it simply personal preference

[@IISIDESWIPEZII]

I prefer 30-06 to 308 for hunting purely for ease of use. Big case, long action, and usually cheaper to buy and reload ammo. Heaps handy to put rounds into the gun as everything is bigger. Ammo cost is pretty awesome too, I feel 30-06 is ever so slightly more forgiving than 308. If you don't quite hit your shot exactly where you wanted it, the sheer power will kill the animal almost regardless. That's my experience with pigs anyway.

[@HuntingwithStu]

As Swipez states below mate. I just like how it sorts out the biggest pigs. I reckon that the 308 is on par with the 30/06 and in fact the 308 is more popular than the 30/06 but I don't know exactly why but I have never warmed to the 308, probs cause everyone has one, not sure. But the 308 is a mighty caliber mate.

[@oscarpiper7130]

Hey stu getting into guns what 223 and 22 rifles do you recommend

[@HuntingwithStu]

22 CZ Brno and a Howa or even Tikka T3 223 mate.

[@oscarpiper7130]

Thanks mate

[@Browneye2566]

Yeah - CZ for the 22LR and a Howa 223. Can't go wrong with those.

[@Browneye2566]

What load are you using in that 30-06 these days mate? Any further load development news?

[@HuntingwithStu]

Currently punching out 130grn soft points a couple of grains over minimum loads mate.

[@Browneye2566]

@@HuntingwithStu I'm currently trying the Sierra 135gn HP (#2124). So far so good, but still experiencing with the load. It's the same projectile OSA use in their 308 factory ammo. It's quite a tough bullet that holds together a bit better.
