Out on a new property tonight. Targeting introduced invasive pests.
The farmer has been having issues with an increasing amount of rabbits around his homestead and foxes roaming the paddocks.
I'm not flying solo tonight, my mate Scott is tagging along to man the gates and help with spotting duties. He even brought desert. Yummo!!!
I'll be running the .22cal PCP air rifle on the rabbits and the Sako .223 for the foxes.
Both rifles are topped with Panther PQ50L V2.0's from HikMicro.
On handheld scanner duties is the new Nocpix Lumi H35R kindly sent up from "Hunt The Night".
Please be mindful that I am a contract shooter based in NSW, targeting vertebrate invasive pests.
All shooting is conducted on private land with written consent from the landholder for paid services.
Yes, I do run suppressors on most of my rifles as I hold the relevant permits to do so.
I am NOT shooting for human consumption, this is purely contracted pest control.
We have many introduced animals in Australia which are declared pests, directly responsible for massive financial losses to farmers and also critically impacting our Australian natives wildlife.
In this video I'll give a quick insight into the new image stabilisation feature on the Nocpix Lumi, I was blown away by how good this feature performed.
There was no shortage of targets around tonight, with 50 odd rabbits shot and 10 foxes. Made for one very happy farmer. Reducing future damage to his property by the rabbits and potential threat from the foxes to newborn lambs, which will commence in a couple of months.
