This ATV hunting trip was off to a rough start with all the recent rain. The planned hunting property was cancelled mid route and I diverted to another (Fortunately). Unfortunately for all the rabbits I had packed gear for a pig and goat hunt. So the little pests copped it with the 308 Win running 130gr Speer Hollow Points. Massively over-gunned but at least it's ethical, If messy........

A regular weekly venture hunting predators AKA wilds dogs and foxes with Thermal. I don't often get caught unawares but I did on this hunt. The wild dogs are becoming an enormous issue in my local area. Hunting them with thermal optics at night time is probably the most efficient ground shooting method. It takes a lot of patience and just being plan stubborn some nights.

Awesome little compact hunting throw beam flashlight. My thoughts and review on the Olight Warrior X Turbo torch. Prime option for a weapon mounted torch / flashlight.

This little hunt was in a NSW state forest near Nundle. I'd planned to do some deer and pig hunting while we had a nice night in the bush camping. Mainly I just wanted to spend some time in the forest with my 5yr old little boy and brother in law Steve from 4WD Recon Australia. We are legally permitted to hunt public land under the NSW R license system, So I wasn't passing up the chance to take the 30/06 and have a few little opportunistic hunts while the boys spent some time in camp together. While always positively optimistic about hunting in a busy state forest that has no shortage of pressure. You could imagine my excitement taking a big mountain boar right on the doorstep of camp.

Hunt those marginal skerrick's of first and last light guys, This pig was shot in timbered cover right on the fringe of dawn. I'd awoken in the dark and started scanning with the bino's straight away when light permitted. Fortunately I'm running a high quality Swarovski rifle scope with an illuminated reticle so I could positively ID and aim. Who knows where this big boy was wandering too before the sun popped up.

The journey up to the forest through Glenrock and Barry station was a drive I'd wanted to do for a long time, Steve's 4x4 rig was more than adequate for that task and the scenery was amazing.

My thoughts with plenty of scope footage using the Pulsar Thermion XQ50 Thermal Rifle Scope. Always a lot of money to spend on a thermal rifle scope and the Thermion XQ50 is no exception, These things are expensive. I've put the XQ50 Thermion through some harsh field use over a few months and I'm now ready to let you know my unbiased, unsponsored impression of a thermal scope I purchased as a regular consumer.

I will link below to Arms and Ammo who I purchased the scope from. The staff there had the XQ50 Thermion shipped in overnight and I couldn't be happier with service like that. If you are looking at a pulsar offering it is well worth giving Tommy and the crew a call to see what they can do for you.

Quick shooting trip out to a local property night hunting foxes and wild dogs with the thermal gear. Some of these small blocks can be very productive if you get the timing right. Getting the drop on cagy wild dogs when small block hunting can be very hit and miss. Worth the effort though and you won't get results sitting at home.

My thoughts and Review on this newly released Olight Javelot Turbo flashlight. Awesome white beam torch for a hunting / shooting light.

Great little hunting trip on the ATV to some new country. We found feral goats, foxes, feral cats and rabbits. Also some wild pig sign as this location certainly holds them. Lots of promise with plenty of great area's. Unfortunately after all the rain since the drought broke the thistles are just so thick and tall. I now have all the boundary and a heap of hot spots plotted out in the GPS. Next trip should be a little easier to navigate around and get more ferals on the deck.

Local Friday night bunny busting wild rabbits. Plenty of the little buggers about but my 17HMR was hungry tonight. I'll definitely have to hit this place often to mop more rabbits up. Unfortunately they are making a hell of a mess on the open grass areas and underneath a few structures here. As you will see the effectiveness of night vision and passive shooting with the PARD NV008 is very efficient.

I'm away this trip on a family property fox hunting with my hunting ATV and thermal scope / scanner. At this time of year the ewes are lambing and the foxes must be controlled to reduce damage to young lambs birthing. I'm fox hunting off my ATV quadbike as transport and using a Pulsar Thermion XQ50 thermal rifle scope. It's a huge fox hunting advantage at night shooting these problem foxes. Call it passive hunting and the foxes aren't alerted like they would be to a traditional spotlight.

This ATV hunting setup video is a walk around and description of how I have built up my new hunting ATV quadbike. Hopefully it will help others who own, or plan to own and hunt off an ATV quadbike. It's certainly a topic I have been asked about on my previous Honda hunting quadbike. I figured when I purchased this newer 2017 Suzuki King Quad 500 AXI that it would be a good chance to show you guys and gals the rig.

The setup works for me, It's not a huge change from the last ATV quadbike I'd owned for 12 years.

This rabbit hunting trip was a zip out to a property I haven't hunted in over 10 years. Used to hold decent rabbit numbers and a fair few foxes. I was keen to get out on my new ATV Quadbike and give the thermal scope and scanner a run on the rabbits. Since the drought broke the grass has really shot up, The owner had warned me it was quite hard to see the rabbits and foxes but no way I was staying home. As you will see I racked up a fair old tally of rabbits shot with the thermal scope. I also shot a large feral cat and everyone know's I love nailing them.
