PIG Hunting • 'CARNAGE' Pt1 • On The Wheat Stubble • 308 Bolt Action

Pig Hunting with bolt action rifles chambered in 308 and 223.
This is Part 1 of a 2 part series.
Out on the wheat stubble this trip.
Feral pig numbers have exploded in the area recently due to an abundance of feed and water.
As a result, farmers are suffering significant crop damage and losses.
I received an invite to head up and lend a hand, which I eagerly accepted.
With the pigs becoming quite vehicle shy recently, the most effective method was to conduct all of the shooting on foot. Stalking in on mobs of pigs under the cover of darkness using thermal detection equipment and rifle scopes proved to be incredibly effective.
I managed to cull 107 pigs over the three nights which made the farmers very happy.
Can't wait to get back up there and do it all again.
Big thanks to Dennis for his gracious hospitality. It was a hunting trip I'll never forget.

[@vincei4252]

"G'day mate." A true gentleman. There's nothing like being polite to everyone as you go about your business. Piggy really appreciated that I'm sure.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Haha. Thanks buddy. 👊

[@hegeliansours1312]

"Be polite. Be efficient. have a plan to kill everyone you meet"

[@Brian-wg9wk]

That was my favorite part!!

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Lol. Cheers mate

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Absolutely awesome shooting and video mate. I hope this one takes off, it's fantastic to see precision and restraint 👌

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Thanks Nathan. The self restraint was hard to keep in check at times. Not a big fan of the whole spray and pray shooting. Not to mention the ridiculous price of ammo. 👌

[@audieladd2476]

@@RJMHuntingAustralia The problem with that is, that the farmer might find someone that isn't tight with their ammo and gets better results? I've never heard anything so ridiculous as "restraint" when it comes to feral pigs. Very amateuristic talk. I'm overrun with Sambar Deer down here in Vic and I tell the guy that culls here to keep shootin' while they're still movin.' If I ever find him doing otherwise, he can move on. When it comes to pest management, it's all about numbers, not trying to make a deadeye dick KZbin Video.

[@allworknoplay574]

@@RJMHuntingAustralia Nice work mate. Good clean shooting I'm impressed. My personal experience and opinion is that precision wins over "spray and pray" anything from racing dirt bikes to bowling a cricket ball... you go past your limit it gets untidy 😏 You will get bigger numbers picking your shots.. the speed will come.. Unless you have an AR with free pellets then forget what I just dribbled 😂

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Other than taking things out if context, you have it all wrong. It's about ethics. I shoot to humanely kill, not to wound. It's people like yourself that give this industry a bad name.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Thanks mate.

[@jonathanbethards3689]

Taking out a whole small herd with a bolt action rifle tells you just how effective suppressors can be for hunting. Well done, friend, and greetings from California.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Lethal combination especially when paired with thermal.👌

[@falseprofit4u]

How the hell didn't I find this top-class channel sooner

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Thanks for watching mate. 👌

[@robertphillips3992]

As a farmer I see the destruction at about 1:50 and it about makes you sick. People have no idea the damage they do, we are having the same issues in some sections of the US

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Yeah. Massive crop losses. That's exactly why I hunt them. 👌

[@narellemacpherson9759]

I’ve heard rumours that some people spread the wild hogs around to breed so they can get the wild bounty money? There is no bounty here in Australia so far for pigs

[@bryanlewis8891]

You make a lot of great running shots ! The sound of that thwack of the bullet finding its target is so satisfying.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Thanks mate. It's a bloody awesome sound isn't it. 👌

[@adbb1970]

Great shooting! Some of those running shots were amazing! Fantastic to see the pigs getting cleaned out, and I'm looking forward to part 2!!

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Really appreciate it mate. Plenty more to come. 👊

[@jabulanicharlesshabalala3910]

Go on, give it to us Bro.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Takes a while to put the videos together mate. 👍

[@Dan-hn1lx]

The gday mate move was smart he just looked straight and stopped....bullseye!!!

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

It does work well. Bit of fun too. 👊

[@farhorizons3901]

Your channel popped up in my feed, and well worth it! Consistently excellent shooting, especially the running shots. Pleased that you can assist the rural folk in pest suppression.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Thanks mate. Much appreciated 👌

[@Meldelkel]

Thats a fun way to heat up a suppressor. Masterful understatement. Excellent dicipline and marksmanship - well done

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Thanks champion 👊

[@philsmith2444]

The best shooting I’ve seen out of all the pig hunting channels. I guess the .308 makes a huge difference over the .223 they all use. You’re shooting farther and they drop in their tracks most of the time. The subsonics are great!

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Much appreciated Phil. Always nice to get positive feedback. Thanks mate 👌

[@thims1961]

107 in three days, Wow! Even the Texans would be impressed & thats no joke

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

It was pretty epic. Thanks mate. 👊

[@andybrown1002]

"Gooday, mate... *Boom*" I scared my dog I laughed so hard... Also that running shot as you cleared the smaller mob was amazing

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Appreciate that mate. Thanks. 👌

[@Sob626]

Bloody way to go! Farmers would be over the moon what you have done in 3 nights!! Keep up the good work and your videos are great! Cheers!

Thanks mate. Much appreciated 👊 👊👊

[@julianshalders6047]

The .308 really hits the pigs with a thud😂 , precision shooting rod 👌👍👏🙏

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Certainly does Julian. The extra knock down power is pretty handy when they're on the run and shot placement isn't perfect. 👊

[@br180933]
