Hammer Down Invasive Pig / Hog Pest Control || 308win Thermal & 6.5PRC Long-range Killshots 2022

An amazing season in Australia is resulting in higher than average invasive feral pig / hog numbers. With the abundance of grass and feed crops for these feral animals to raid, pest control via shooting is a successful measure. Using an ATV, 308 Winchester rifle and thermal equipment is a huge asset in gaining an advantage and getting hammer down on the pigs. Join me on this shooting trip where I put a dent in the population of an area I regularly frequent. I also filmed a few fantastic long-range killshots with my 6.5PRC on feral goats to use as trail camera bait for foxes and wild dogs.

I'm shooting the following rifles in this video:
* 308 Winchester - Ruger American Predator 18". Fitted into a MDT Gen 2 LSS chassis and running reloads with 150 grain Hornady SST projectiles. My thermal scope is a Pulsar Thermion 2 XP50.
* 6.5PRC - Bergara B14 HMR Wilderness, Athlon Cronus BTR Gen 2 4.5-29x56mm scope.

All the animals shot in the video are introduced, invasive feral species in Australia. These animals are being culled for pest control purposes. Whilst this is labelled a hunting video a lot of this footage is purely pest control shooting. There is no "fair chase" other than shooting straight and true resulting in the most ethical kills possible. I'm performing this role with professional equipment for property owners who grant me access and require assistance.
