This contracted shooting trip we are out hunting invasive species - feral pigs and the odd fox. Things get a little wild, and I'm running my mates 300AAC (Blackout) rifle hard fitted with the new new Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XL50 1024x768 HD thermal. There's plenty of action packed footage in this video in both daylight and after the sun sets. If you're seeking a video with bulk shooting footage and no bullshit (maybe a little), this is your happy place !!!
Access into this area is with my mates Polaris XP1000 side by side ATV buggy. This machine is purpose built for his contract shooting business and works amazingly well in the terrain type for pest control. Big thanks to him, my unnamed mate "Bucket" for the call out seeking assistance on this control program. Yes this is "work" and we are out shooting from late afternoon nearly right through till dawn. But hot damn, we do have some fun in the process.
We are not shooting 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 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.
I am a vertebrate pest control - contract shooter in NSW. For those wondering about the equipment being used, both my mate and I hold the necessary permits and licences under contract 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.

Tool of choice was chambered in 300AAC. I was using Winchester 150gr Deer Season XP but I was hugely underwhelmed with the performance on pigs. Before anyone flames the cartridge choice, I've seen this in action using faster 110gr ammo and it's a whole other tool with projectiles which expand acceptably on game.
My thermal scope is a Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XL50 and for the scanner I'm a Pulsar Merger LRF XL50 which is also 1024x756 resolution !!! Daylight scope, I'm using a ZeroTech Vengeance 1-6x24mm SFP RAR, must say I really liked the reticle.
