Protect the Pigs - Fox, Feral Cat, & Feral Pig Contract Shoot || Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XL60 Scope

Over 400 piglets in the previous 4 weeks have been killed by introduced foxes and feral cats on this free-range domestic pig farm, crazy to believe, but that's the reality of this job. I'm out under contract to assist (ground shooting) with what is a huge fox, feral cat and feral pig problem for these farmers. Conditions couldn't have had more contrast to my usual feral pig jobs on open ground. This time I'm in the mix with hundreds of domestic free-range pigs running some new high end thermal kit. Is it up to the task? How did I tell the difference between a feral and domestic pig with thermal? Stick around and find out !!! I'm running my trusty 6mm BR fitted with a brand new, hot off the press Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XL60 1024x768 HD thermal scope. There's plenty of action-packed footage in this video after dark showing that HD resolution and 60mm lens goodness. For thermal scanner duties, I'm running the amazing Pulsar Merger LRF XT50 thermal binoculars in a chest rig. With the internal image stabilisation and binocular form factor, nights were kept comfortable viewing for long hours each night. No this isn't "hunting", I'm culling pests as requested and contracted to do. I'm out cruising around in my new 4x4 for mobility, which is a 2024 VW Amarok Style 600. This vehicle is undergoing quite the custom build ATM, but in this video it only had the suspension and new wheels and tyres fitted. A SmartRest Racken Rest 3 Gun Rack worked very nicely indeed for many of these shots supported off the door of the ute. When on foot, I'm using one of my own EDGE of the OUTBACK tripods, link below. https://edgeoftheoutback.com.au/product/edge-of-the-outback-carbon-fibre-hunting-tripod/ We are not shooting feral pigs for human consumption on this trip. It is purely pest control of invasive species in Australia. These uncontrolled animals are an environmental and agricultural menace, often carrying bacteria and diseases like brucellosis. These pigs are all disposed of via burial in a pit the mornings after shooting. With so many domestic animals, the risk of disease is great if the carcasses are left laying around as carrion. 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 suppressor is made by Shawmac Industries, which works amazingly well on this cartridge shooting Hornady 87gr Vmax Projectiles (all ammo is reloaded, no please don't ask me for load data as I don't share this information). I am a vertebrate pest control - contract shooter in NSW. For those wondering about the equipment being used I hold the necessary permits and licences when working under paid contracts in NSW.

I'm not a business adviser. The requirements and information vary state by state. If seeking this information, research your own states legislation. I get this question a LOT, and it's not a path I wish to go down on social media. Call to action - If you would like to see the continuation of YouTube channels like mine or others.
