If you take 500 mg of vitamin D daily the mosquitos will leave you alone. No kidding, give it a try.

Love your work and your commentary Nathan. Really appreciate the effort you put into these hunts. Ignore the bleeding hearts mate, the job you do is a necessary one.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Appreciate it Paul 👍

[@nathandougherty7058]

Well said

[@Ssm19494]

You’d think the so called bleeding hearts would care more for the native populations of australias animals

[@lesteraizlewood8457]

Those who hate what you do have never been on the land to see firsthand the carnage that the feral animals inflict on livestock and wildlife.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

☝️☝️☝️💪

[@VetvsWorld]

Fact Sir.

[@ClownBARF]

it doesnt even have to be wild dogs. I live in the country where theres no leash laws. My neighbors lets their hunting dogs run loose at night and as a free range guinea fowl farmer it doesnt end well for me. Ive lost almost my whole flock to those dogs, down to my last two, thankfully a male and female.

[@michellecox2627]

To be fair they are the same people who think farming in it self is abuse of animals

[@michaelcauser474]

Good to see you back again Nathan. Skilled work as usual in helping control a problem in Australia. Keep up the good work.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Appreciate it Michael 🍻

[@metubewot]

So frustrating sometimes. I never however feel that waiting in the countryside is wasted. There is always something of interest going on. Great video as always Nathan.

[@dannyinaus]

10 years or so back I used to hunt a lot of ferals in QLD, including dogs. I set up trail cams a few days out to see which water holes they went to first thing every morning. Up here they often ran in packs (bob tails). When I found their water hole I would go in and get in position around 4AM and wait. I would ID the alpha male and take it out first. The others would not know what to do and hang around long enough for me to pick then off. I used a .243 Weatherby Vanguard on a bi-pod. Average range was 70-100 metres.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Very nice 👌

[@robertgow7952]

I reckon you do an awesome job, the videos are really professional and very informative, mate. Admire your dedication to the hunt. More power to you. Also, great that you're introducing your young fella to the great outdoors, hope he enjoyed everything.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Thanks Robert. The little man is a fiend and loves it. Just hard with the night stuff but we do alright together 👌

[@coachjeff493]

As always brother , we love your content. Wild Dogs are even a problem up here in the rural areas of Brisbane. People need to learn about the damage they do. Keep up the great work mate

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

I've heard you guys have a bunch of trouble with them. Absolutely they can cause some serious damage.

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

A lot of councils now have a bounty on them. Usually about $50. Differs from shire to shire.

[@mirin3181]

Good work mate, some people have no idea the damage these wild dogs do.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Thanks Ross, exactly 👍

[@duanepender8577]

Always enjoy grabbing a beer and sitting out the patio to watch your video's. Keep up the good work mate. There's plenty of us who appreciate it 👍

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Thanks Duane, appreciate it mate 👌

[@beanaddict]

Patience, experience and equipment is the key to good hunting and you have it all.Well done

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Thanks mate 👌

[@tidelovinyankee1368]

"Boring as batshit". I love it. Is that an Australian expression or is it unique to you? I found your channel last week and watch as many of your videos as I can. I like your explanations, and you certainly can turn a phrase. Here in the States, wild hogs, foxes and coyotes are a real problem, and they are hunted constantly because of all the damage they do to property and livestock. And of course, there are those who cannot abide killing those poor creatures. They do not educate themselves about the harm caused by these animals. Thank you for the great content.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

I think it's just Aussie slang that one 😂. Really glad you enjoy the video's, great to hear. We have many issues with these introduced species in Australia. There's definitely people who have not taken the time to understand the "why" and just think it's all mindless shooting. Couldn't be further from the truth although I absolutely enjoy my hunting and work.

[@Lex-Hawthorn]

@tidelovinyankee1368 When those bleeding hearts get on a hunting channel, and then cry and rant all about it? They'd be 'having a sook' mate. 'Spitting the dummy' as well. Our politicians are like yours, they are 'as bent as a dogs hind leg' cos they 'Couldn't lie straight in bed' the bar-stewards..

[@bobbeorn]

In slang English we say "he/she went went batshit" for when someone loses their temper.

[@davidmcgrath9581]

You don't have to explain yourself to anyone, what your doing is so important for the environment, your dedication is second to none, anyone who never done this kind of work won't have a clue!!! cheers from Ireland.

[@brucejeralds5493]

Another outstanding outing, Nathan. I always look forward to your videos and I appreciate the efforts you put forth in not only filming but also the amount of time and patience you put into this.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Breaks my heart you're shooting dogs, but it has to be done i supose. Thanks for doing it humanely, and thanks for great content! ☺️

[@martinljubic84]

You are like a professional guide presenting an inspiring lesson in conservation .... except its animal pest control. Every time, it is always about the task ahead and the job that needs to be done. From eating on the job to getting the job done. I watch because of the no frills approach. There's a few others on KZbin like that. Condensing it all down to 15 minutes or less, super effort. A long comment to make up for my lack of comments

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Martin I hugely appreciate that mate. It's certainly an interesting thing to share from the correct aspect with no bullshiiittteee.

[@mattytalbot777]

Good stuff. Most people have no idea how destructive these wild dogs are to native animals and livestock! Some of my favourite memories are time spent in the bush with my dad. I'm glad you can share that with your family too!

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Thanks Matt, appreciate it 👌

There’s only two things wrong with your videos - they’re not long enough and there’s not enough of the them. Can’t wait for the next

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Thanks Derek. She's been a bit hard to get footage lately with all the flooding occurring in NSW. While not directly effected the paddocks are all uber wet and we can't get into most of them.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Hi Yogi. Four dogs have been shot since filming this. But no I only mucked around and filmed this particular afternoon. Chews up to much time otherwise.

[@Chevaposaurus]

Hey Nate, noob questions here - do you set the scope at 200m when you have setup the overwatch spot, and then back it off to 100m for night, or on the scope do you know where to aim lower/higher depending on range, or finally, is bullet drop not that important with that particular type of weapon?

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

I generally run a 200m zero on my centrefire rifles 👌

[@richo9142]

Great video mate, I love your setup & was totally wrapped up in the hunt with you. Looking forward to more from you.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

[@1968krug]

Thanks for sharing, I enjoy your vids, much to learn. Cheers. With your thermal gear I’m guessing it’s premium gear, what is it and is there much descent thermal gear out there at the budget end?

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Hi Tony, I've got reviews on the channel of the kit I use if you have a dig around. Unfortunately cheap and good thermal gear don't mix in the same sentence 😞

[@1968krug]

@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK thank you brother, I might just have to get the day timeskill level up o speed for the time being…! Last question; I have recently saw a dog wander out of some scrub not far from my bolt hole up in the sticks. 100-150m from the house. He was scenting, scanning then retreated, I figured I’d get ready to have a crack on the 3rd night at sunset but as you’d expect, that opportunity didn’t present. What would be you best couple of whistles/brands that might coax him out?

[@1968krug]

Any point dragging a chook carcass or something else about the place to draw him in…

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Hunting dogs is a large skillset. Depending on the area, time of year and food sources. Dragging a scent trail around might work, nothing to loose if it doesn't 👍

[@divefishhunt]

Always a pleasure watching your video's- great shooting, great production & very well spoken! Cheers

Great video Nathan - your comentry is always informative and entertaining. Question (Newbie) - when your switching over to the thermal scope on site, do you not need to sight it in again?

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Thanks Vince. I use high quality rings positioned consistently and set with a torque wrench. They hold zero bang on 👍 (many won't). So I just swap and start shooting.
