Shooting Feral Pigs with The Texan - Feral Hog Cull || 308 Win Rifle || Thermion 2 LRF XG50

This contract shoot we are out hunting invasive feral pigs. There's plenty of action packed footage in this video with the thermal gear. Things get a little wild and I'm running the bolt pretty hard on my custom 308Win rifle. If you're seeking a video with bulk shooting footage, no bullshit, this is your happy place !!!
Big thanks to my unnamed mate "The Texan" for the call out seeking assistance on this control program.
Critters on the deck and not killing native animals and damaging agriculture is the aim of the game. These uncontrolled animals are an environmental and agricultural menace in Australia and are classed as invasive pest species.
We are not shooting for human consumption, it is purely pest control of invasive species in Australia. These uncontrolled animals are an environmental and agricultural menace, often carrying bacterial and diseases like brucellosis. Pigs are left where they lay as carrion, nothing generally lasts more than a week in the Aussie bush before it's just a few scattered remains.

My 308Win rifle is a full custom, which I will review soon to share all the details properly. Action is a Defiance Machine Tenacity, Triggertech Special trigger, 18 inch Carbon Six Barrel, Wedgetail Industries Suppressor, all in an MDT HTN26 Carbon Fibre Chassis. I'm running Fiocchi ammunition with 150 grain Hornady SST projectiles and a sprinkling of subsonic rounds, which are reloads using 190 Sub-X projectiles. My thermal scope is a Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XG50 and for the scanner I'm a Pulsar Merger LRF XL50 which is 1024x756 resolution !!!
If you are interested in a thermal or night vision device in Australia, have a chat with Ben from Hunt the Night. He generally has the best prices anyway in Oz.

The way you’re able to hit shots on those little pigs while they’re running is a real testament to your shooting ability. Another great video as always.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Appreciate it mate 👌

[@legallyblind393]

Always appreciate your care to make sure they don’t suffer unnecessarily. Yes they are feral and need to go but no good person wants to see em suffer!

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Appreciate it mate 👌

[@lincolnengland5005]

I expected the Texan to turn up in a helicopter with a Gatling gun! 🤣🤣🤣

[@OVTraveller]

Nathan, you undoubtedly have queues of mates who would give their left testicular to join you and learn your craft. Given the growth of ferals in this country, all kudos to you (and mates) and thank you for allowing us to join you on this shoot vicariously. Keep dropping the buggers.

[@Springfield-eo8jl]

It will just end up like Texas where the land owners try to capitalize on the opportunity and charge people excessively high rates to kill 1 hog.

[@RabidWombatz]

I’d love to help take out these pests, but alas, too difficult in WA I think, to get a license.

[@JohnSmith-jh1iy]

@RabidWombatz Thats exactly what they want you to think. Join a rifle club and get your licence. Vote for firearms friendly parties. We wont win this battle by giving up.

[@davidhandyman7571]

The .308 certainly takes care of business. Yes, situational awareness and safety are paramount.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Appreciate it mate, definitely not to be understated with others.

[@MrRebar15]

*EDGE of the OUTBACK* Bravo great job fellas, thanks for taking the time to bring us along. OK so we have the Texan & Bucket 2 friends, lolooo. GOD Bless.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Thanks 👍

[@seanys]

Good to see a quick, effective second shot when it was needed.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Cheers mate 👌

[@glennmorris9337]

Nice work boys. I can't believe the number of destructive feral pests that farmers have to deal with !

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Tell me about it

[@debramage739]

Nice work Nathan and the Texan. Didn't know pigs could run so fast, then they just stop.😊😅

[@mikegregory5620]

Nothing like the crack thud. Another quality conservation effort Nathan!!

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Thank you 👌

[@ralphrotten1905]

Such awesome footage, always love the hot bits flying.👍🏼🍻🤣

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Thanks 👍

[@damienjo3249]

It's like I'm watching "call of duty" Well done Nathan, great shooting and great footage 👏 👍 👌

Another ripper Nathan. You and your cobber knocked out a good number of pigs in that lot mate.🤠

[@PaulyDDownunder]

Way to go Nathan! Those subs are definitely the business for that, up close and personal approach lol. Nice work on the fence too mate! 😂

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

So close!

[@kyleedwards7622]

Bloody awesome shooting mate 👍 those impact "thuds" off your mates footage is strangely satisfying 😂

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

The thuds always are 👌

[@michael-fb7ps]

Wow that’s how you clean a few up Nath great shooting as always nicely done mate

[@DoWoZ]

Some nice deflection shot's there Nathan and some nice Splat go the Weazle shot's too. Well Done Mate.!!

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Thanks 👍

[@michaelcauser474]

Well done as usual Sir. It does not matter if they are big or small as the little ones will eventually become big buggers. Better to catch them when they are small to save on all the damage they would cause during growing up. Keep up the good work.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Very true!

[@NZHardhouser]

Outstanding shooting as always - love your sub loads and shots... Thermals these days certainly capture more detail!! Great snap shooting - keep up the great work Nathan!

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Cheers mate

You're shockingly close to these critters! How great that is! I guess the "critters" can't see you two?

[@brycechampness3363]

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Cheers mate 👌

[@ikecarter6011]

always fascinating to hear the sound of sub rounds from another view as you get the hit feed back ❤❤

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Yeah there's a notable thwack for sure.

[@ronaldwhite5670]

Good job done. Keep it up, cheers 🍻

[@jeffrogonzalo5067]

I thought that was a bird flying up out of the grass till you put it on slowmo thanks great shooting

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Was a big lump eh

[@shaunwootton798]

Geepers! Bits of piggy scattered all over the place! & the sound of those subsonics on impact...!

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

It's even louder in person, they certainly thwack home.

[@mrropey]

Hi boys good stuff l love the thump 👍👍👍

[@rodgeorge7244]

Another good night at the Office Nathan well done with you and your mate love your work mate.

[@404nitro]

Outstanding shooting in this one. Awesome video brother.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Cheers mate 👌

[@trentfrancis4646]

When you started putting lead in the air did you notice the old fox in the back ground he thought his days where numbered and started shuffling like his life depended on it .

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Yeah, but pigs were the priority on this job.

[@robertmoyse4414]

Good shooting, as always, especially on the moving pigs. Was that a fox in the background at 1:40?

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Yep it waa

[@brettthompson3461]

Loved the video once again thanks buddy 🎉😂😂

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

No problem 👍

[@JamesS.254]

Im sure you have glued up that magazine by now, but I would link the image to the manufacture and I'm sure they would be happy to send you a new mag in exchange for the info on the broken one. At least I hope they are the type of company that would appreciate knowing their mistakes, in hopes to make an even better product.

[@Jay-zm3bx]

Absolutely loving the footage thank you! That perspective of your friend watching em drop and the flying off bits is epic hahaha!

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@paulcoffey359]

Some quite explosive/destructive impacts. More than usual.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Fair few smaller pigs too.

[@garydenner6253]

Good shooting Tex!

[@asya9493]

6:07 that cold weather gear of yours is working well - thats a low thermal signature !

[@nickstoic2944]

Yet another great night Nathan, you never disappoint.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Cheers

[@peterrobbins2862]

That fox in the background certainly skedaddled

[@falconcowboy9995]

That's a lot of little bacon 🥓 bits😮😊

[@payres48]

Nice work again Nathan. I love blood sprays!😄

[@beauzo9965]

The red mist or 8:05 face off

[@ianbenning2833]

Great shooting again Nathan. Can you tell us what causes the small black cloud rising off some the hits.

[@peterryan6097]

Another great video Nathan. You cleaned up nicely but so many of the bastards. Appreciated the on the run hits mate.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Cheers Peter

[@deandewey5584]

Another great video Nathan. Well done to you and your offsider. You both made short work of those pigs.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Thanks 👍

[@terrywalters9400]

Love it. So much fun and you get paid to do it, you're not even working. :) :) :)

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Ah there's a fair bit behind the scenes that you don't get bored with. The ground work I enjoy but it's often absolutely work.

[@bradanderson1627]

Ya gotta absolutely love the inferred 😊

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Big time

[@robertkreiling1746]

Your skill is outstanding , what a team !

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi guys, Once again, good on ya, knock them on the head , Keep up the good work. Love your videos Cliff from Logan city, Queensland, Australia

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Thanks! Will do!

[@jadethom7908]

I had to laugh at 8:20, as a few seconds before hand I was thinking, 'Watch the fence!' Great work, as always!

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Thanks 👍

[@damop4827]

Awesome vid Nathe.

[@drewsmetaldetecting8030]

Great video , nice shooting too , Thanks

[@ianparkinson7039]

Hey Nathan some of those splatters you looked like you were hitting em with a bazooka lol.

[@MrThuggery]

That's some of the best FLIR footage you've done nathan!

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

FLIR 🤢

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

I know what you mean though

[@johnmeuwese9850]

Faarken good shooting Nath n Tex

[@crow7505]

Mate super clean work as usual well done great footage

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Much appreciated

[@shalininaicker]

I imagine you would have a few spare magazines. Great video content as always Nathan.

[@jared5862]

I haven’t watched this yet so if you mention in the video I apologize. I’m setting up a 308 to shoot subsonics and was wondering what bullet you use. I’ve seen you use them in several videos. I’m trying the 190 SubX bullet this weekend on deer but I think I’m going to use the Maker bullets when I set up a 300 BLK.

[@joshurrr]

I seen a fox in the background of the first mob you shot but more surprising…..more than one friend 😉👉🏼

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

True and sometimes true

[@Corpozze]

Great job ! What kind of barrel twist do you have in your rifle ?

[@bill944]

At the end I saw that fence and was thinking you were about to have another one to mend. Got a good laugh when you spoke of your "reputation".

[@allanlambert3802]

Nathan, why dont you get a semi auto for your line of work mate? Awesome pew pew pew bro!!!!!!

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Owning a semi auto in Australia is a hugely restricted thing. Even as a professional pest controller the hoops to jump through are immense.

[@masonjarhillbilly]

Lot of pork on the deck. Great shooting.

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Appreciate it mate 👌

[@MickH60]

Great work Nathan, subscribed..

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Thanks for the sub!

[@crewman101]

New to your channel and new subscriber, have a question why not use a semi auto vs bolt action?

[@lipmifo7019]

Nice work!!! Did you get the fox thou at the1:41 mark?

[@unproadventures4142]

Top job as always How many did you end up with ?

[@richardharker2775]

Nicely done. I couldn't help but notice more 'spray" coming from the hit (if thats the right word) than I have in other videos. Are you using a different type of projectile?
