Shooting Feral Cats, Indian Myna Birds, Pigeons & Rabbits || Thermal Hunting || FX Impact M3 & 6BR

This evening I'm out on a pest control, thermal hunting contract to shoot any invasive species encountered. Total mixed bag with Indian Myna birds & pigeons shot with the FX Impact M3. Plus rabbits and feral cats shot with my custom 6BR Tikka.
Before the haters get triggered please do some research on feral cats in AUSTRALIA and how much damage they are directly responsible for. These little buggers are not pets, they are invasive pest animals that I'll always shoot given the opportunity !!! If you don't like that, on ya bike !!!
It was also the first night out using the brand new Pulsar Merger LRF XP50 thermal binoculars. Aren't they a treat as you'll see in the video recordings. A review will be coming for this amazing device in the coming weeks !!!
Finally I have my new FX Impact M3 .22 caliber into the field with a suppressor for some bird pest control shooting. There is plenty of air rifle hunting and shooting action in this KZbin video for you all to watch. The FX Impact M3 is shooting on song in .22 caliber with 15.89gr JSB Hades Pellets @ 650fps, nice and slow to not damage the sheds or infrastructure. Scope of course is my Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XP50 Pro. For those interested, the FX Impact M3 is running no power mod upgrades. It has a standard 600mm barrel with superior liner (not heavy).
My 6BR is a custom Tikka T3 rifle with a 18" Carbon Six barrel and Hi Tec Industries stock. The suppressor from Shawmac Industries which works amazingly well on this cartridge. Thermal scope is an InfiRay TH50 Tube with audio externally recorded.

I am a vertebrate pest control - contract shooter in NSW. For those wondering about the suppressor I hold the necessary permit in NSW to do so. If seeking information regarding that, please check the FAR webpage for details.
All shooting is performed on privately owned farms, with exclusive permission granted in writing for paid services.

[@waylandforge8704]

I think the term "invasive species" is an an important phrase to put things in perspective. Even the most anal, one eyed, single minded, paranoid, weed sniffing, paid up member of the green gestapo can't deny the importance of controlling invasive species. Well done.

That feral black and white was HUGE! You are doing Australia good. 👍👍

"Shooting feral cats..." That got my attention!

Love it Nathan. Like grey squirrels in the UK...they've gotta go.

[@martypolderman6937]

That's a big cat 😮 I can only imagine the damage to wildlife that feral has done in it's lifetime. Cheers for taking it out of the equation 👍

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

They do a lot of damage

[@SH-jy6lc]

You know how much damage those stray cats do to my property every day? Pooping in my garden beds or around them, pooping around the house in the gravel, in the grass, under my windows, eat my tomatoes and urinate on my berry bushes. But the law protects them here in Canada so I cant do anything, i cant even catch them in a live trap. Its illegal. If it gets hurt in that humane live trap as they usually do by thrashing inside the cage I might get charged n go to jail. Imagine that!

[@inextremis2011]

I wondered how the Indian Myna reached Australia. A google search turned up this: "Indian mynas were first released in Australia in the 1860s to control pests in Victoria's market gardens."

[@ma3stro681]

Just like the cane toads, and even blackberry was deliberately introduced, by a so-called botanist Baron Von Mueller. The book Feral Future is a good read …

You're doing a great job my friend destroying all these ferals,we need many more pros like yourself to stamp out this problem.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

I don't think we will ever wipe them out. But we can try and keep numbers down 🤞🤞🤞

[@gregmullins6927]

If we can decimate their numbers to 90% of the original figure that would be a good thing,maybe we could learn from the Aussie Islands where ferals have been eliminated 100%,you deserve to earn a top living mate and those tools you use are very expensive too.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

That would be awesome. They are a PITA 😩

[@andrew5792]

Up until recently I live just outside the ACT at Jerrabomberra. The Men's Shed in Queanbeyan makes the Myna bird traps and has done for many years, assisting with the significant reduction in numbers.

[@Kearnesy]

@@andrew5792 sooo good the articals i read mentioned about the mens shed making the traps. Im up in qld and went to a seminar awhile ago about the birds

[@andrew5792]

@@Kearnesy I'm also in Qld now. Currently in Bris while waiting for a house to be built near Childers. I also use a PCP to knock the odd Myna off and plan to approach council once settled early next year. With the thinning of the Myna's around Queanbeyan there was a very noticeable increase in the native birds. Especially those that rely on hollows in trees to breed. The trapping programs are good, but the Myna's learn very quickly if care is not taken when handling the traps. The short version is that the traps need to be emptied at night so that the birds don't associate them with people.
