I like that you always go for a second shot when they are struggling. They may be pests but they dont deserve to suffer, they didnt choose to be pests! Great respect!

That was astounding. I've never seen so many rats in one place. Love the range finder in that unit brother. The ballistic x along the crosshair and small text with the range indicated is very slick.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Thanks brother, very cool feature. Took a bit of fine tuning to dial it in but worth the effort 👌

[@zalired8925]

G'day mate. Are you still putting out videos? From memory you were putting out coyote control/culling videos a few years back. Maybe thinking of someone else.

[@matthewcullen1298]

​@@BossPredatorAcoustics please have a look at Australian mouse plagues . In one video The people open a barn door and they flood out the door like a wall of water. My uncle and aunty had a small plague on their farm and my poor aunty went to go to bed and there was dozens of the little mongrels under the sheets. I'd rather deal with a brown snake.

Great shooting Mate, there certainly wasn’t any lack of targets. The clarity of your NV scope was amazing. Lots of good shooting to you from California.

Thankyou Sir. The gear available to us now is pretty awesome and I love what I do.

[@Tunnelrat6666]

Love that scope its on my wish "dream" list. Ballistic calculations would come in handy on the longer shots with pellets. Collecting all of them after the shoot must be a drag.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

The ballistics are awesome especially for the air rifle. Collection is all part of the job, at least we didn't have far to walk. 🤔

Great work mate. Fun tool for sure that combo. And great work done for the farmer too.

[@danjaguar126]

Oh boy, that looks like so much fun! I'm tentatively looking at learning to shoot, air rifles and rats seems like a good way to get my feet wet and my hands dirty.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Trigger time and practice on paper is great for getting to know your rifle. Learning it's capabilities and improving yours along the way. The rat shooting is awesome for transitioning from paper to live targets.

awesome effort there Rod, made my skin crawl to think that if you were camping nearby , imagine those filthy rats crawly and gnawing all over you, uuggghhh. great shooting mate. 👍👍😎

I appreciate the fact that you put the rats out of their misery rather than letting them flop around. There is certainly no shortage of them.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

If they're brain shot they'll still wiggle about mate. If they are hit elsewhere then obviously they receive a follow up shot as soon as possible

[@janetdoecke4391]

Geez, good shooting fellas! I like how quiet your gun is! A good rat is a dead rat!

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Cheers mate. Super quiet yet still very accurate. Somewhat justifies the outlay. 👊

[@zalired8925]

A dead rat carries no disease and contaminates no feed and water. They do have a purpose though, like cats and foxes they make excellent organic fertilizer.

That's carpenter bee with 22 rat shot kind of fun right there.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Yep 👌

[@davidstrother496]

Fantastic bit of shooting, LOTS of rats, and the farmer should be happy. I think the PARD gives a better sight picture than the Infiray, at least in this video. Cheers from Texas.

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

The video image out of the Pard is pretty impressive.

[@ashwa1964]

Good morning sir, I watched your shoot and it's really cool! I would like to ask, among the two thermal imaging scopes you use, Pulsar Thermion2 Pro Lrf XP50 thermal scope and Pard SA62-45 thermal scope, which scope has the best image clarity for naked eye observation? And the best in terms of ease of use and stability? Thanks!

[@RJMHuntingAustralia]

Really like the ballistic calculator and the small compact size of the Pard however the Thermion2 has a better all round image especially at distance.

Raratattat next is the cat. Geez air rifles have come a long way since I was a kid popping rats in our chook pen. One shot, pump, reload, next shot. Question: do you need the same licence as required for firearms? Or is an air rifle licence seperate and specific for air rifles only? Thanks, always look forward to yours and Nathan's videos, true hunters who hunt for a purpose, not just for thrills. There's a few who could take some lessons from pro's like yourselves.
