Hunting Rabbits || They're out of control on this small farm

[@StonyRC]

I don't have the stomach to hunt myself, but I understand completely how important it is to keep pest species under control. Excellent kit, excellent videography and superb marksmanship. You certainly have your work cut out for you! Cheers from the UK.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

I really appreciate that mate. Nice to know that people understand it needs to be done

[@downer4207]

The shot through 2 fences 😮 absolute beauty

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Cheers mate 👊

[@QuikFliksCQ]

great video rod, nice to see someone who will travel to fix the problems on smaller farms

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Thanks mate

[@soundkilla5954]

I really enjoy watching these videos☝🏿

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Thankyou

[@redrobotmonkey]

Is anyone eating the rabbits he killed???

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

That was discussed at the end of the video mate

[@SheepDogActual]

This is what we would call a “ target rich environment “. I see fried rabbit and rabbit stew. Great video.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Thankyou 👊

[@dirtybirdau]

Your kit never ceases to amaze me, not to mention your shooting. Good stuff.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Thanks champ 👊

[@rohanwood5968]

I was about 20 when we went spotlighting on my mates farm, I was using a ruger 10/22 with Nikko sterling 4x32 scope. We went round in one paddock for an hour and a half talking out 107 rabbits, 3 foxes, and 5 feral cats. We had to go as we ran out of ammo. Nice work on the underground mutton, and I know the dish licker will love you for it. Keep up the great work.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Thanks champ

You are awesome. I have always enjoyed hunting rabbits and although I can't get around that well any longer I managed to get a couple that were making quick work of my wife garden. I eagerly await any video that you or Nathan put out. Gosh i enjoy them so much. Keep up the great work. Cheers

The image quality of that Hik Micro is just stellar. Nice job on the rabbits of the on that property I think that only classifies as a decent start. Watching in the background they're going to need a few more nights work to really make a dent in that population.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Totally agree mate. I'll be back there in a couple of weeks for a follow up

Thanks

[@csjrogerson2377]

I spent 2 years in Aus on a military exchange in the late 80's. Did some diving at Burrendong Dam at Stuart Town, NSW. Stayed in the Iron Bark Hotel and met some farmers who shot their own rabbits. They fired 22 rimfires above the rabbit's heads which caused them to 'freeze' and they caught them by hand. To be sold later and killed when required. Went gold mining too, found about $50s worth

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Wow, that's pretty cool mate 👌

[@gregazzopardi3733]

Glad you enjoyed the stay and experience. Is it something you could do ad freely in UK?

[@csjrogerson2377]

@ Not really. Hard to find any gold in the UK although there is a bit in Wales. Generally nowhere near as many rabbits in the UK and getting a licence for even a 22 isn't easy.

[@ScratchyBaws]

Bl00dy hell that was some nights work there. Happy New Year there folks from Scotland and love the content once again

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Cheers mate 👍

[@TangoDelta8111]

I’ve watched a few different pest control channels now, and in my opinion, you are the best, Hands Down. Almost all of the ones I’ve watched have a few good, some great shots, but tend to have to shoot at same animal several times before dispatched. I’m not sure I’ve ever even seen you have to shoot more than twice at a critter! Only channel I saw with an expert marksman was from a helicopter shooting a 308. Unbelievable skill on that guy and the pilot was great too. I would put that guy in same category as you. EXPERT!! 😂😂😂

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Appreciate the kind words mate! We pride ourselves on being as ethical as possible. Doesn't always work out perfect but we give it a red hot go

[@ewanbaxter9199]

Excellent marksmanship, that is a very powerful air rifle

Spectacular work Rod. Just back from Day 1 of Sika Show here in Hamilton NZ where I was manning the NRANZ booth. On one walk about it was great to play with the new products from HikMicro, especially the Stellar SQ50L 3.0, and its bigger brother the Stellar SX60L 3.0. That SX60L is something else!!!

A lot of gutting and skinning there! Great job. You don't have to discard older rabbits for eating. As long as you 'steep' the skinned jointed rabbit in milk overnight (10 plus hrs) in the fridge it will tenderise the meat and remove any 'gamey' flavour. Great vid.

Awesome shooting Rod. That right there you are using is an incredible bit of kit. Numbers are a bit like they used to be on the Nullarbor . I used to go out and get up to 80 pair a night and sell them to the local rabbit buyer Ted Gerovitch who used to run a couple of full time trappers.All the rabbits a couple of thousand or so used to go to Perth for the meat supply. Of course they all had to be headshot to be useable. Good times , good money and plenty of bunnies.thanks for the video mate. Take it easy.
