For those wondering, no these feral cats are not pets. If you're confused why in Australia we hunt these invasive killers please google "feral cats in Australia".
Here's a extract from an Australian government study and report if you feel like more information, or using Google is too hard.
"Cats continue to drive population decline in Australian native animal species. Predation by cats is a recognised threat to over 200 nationally threatened species, and 37 listed migratory species (of which nine are also listed as threatened) . Feral cats in Australia kill over 1.5 billion native mammals, birds, reptiles and frogs, and 1.1 billion invertebrates each year. Pet cats kill over 500 million native vertebrate animals each year. Although their overall toll is lower than that imposed by feral cats, because pet cats live at high density, their ‘local’ impacts are much higher than that of feral cats."

All this shooting is with my custom 308Win rifle, which I will soon share all the details properly in a rundown video.
Action is a Defiance Machine Tenacity, Triggertech Special trigger, 18 inch Carbon Six Barrel, Wedgetail Industries Suppressor, all in an MDT HTN26 Carbon Fibre Chassis. I'm running Fiocchi factory ammunition with 150 grain Hornady SST projectiles and a subsonic rounds, which are reloads using 190 Sub-X projectiles. My thermal scope is a Pulsar Thermion 2 LRF XG50 and for the scanner I'm a Pulsar Merger LRF XL50 which is 1024x756 resolution !!! Daylight scope, I'm using a Japanese made Zerotech Trace Advanced 4-24x50mm.
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.
