Love your work and your commentary Nathan. Really appreciate the effort you put into these hunts. Ignore the bleeding hearts mate, the job you do is a necessary one.

Those who hate what you do have never been on the land to see firsthand the carnage that the feral animals inflict on livestock and wildlife.

10 years or so back I used to hunt a lot of ferals in QLD, including dogs. I set up trail cams a few days out to see which water holes they went to first thing every morning. Up here they often ran in packs (bob tails). When I found their water hole I would go in and get in position around 4AM and wait. I would ID the alpha male and take it out first. The others would not know what to do and hang around long enough for me to pick then off. I used a .243 Weatherby Vanguard on a bi-pod. Average range was 70-100 metres.

So frustrating sometimes. I never however feel that waiting in the countryside is wasted. There is always something of interest going on. Great video as always Nathan.

Good to see you back again Nathan. Skilled work as usual in helping control a problem in Australia. Keep up the good work.

As always brother , we love your content. Wild Dogs are even a problem up here in the rural areas of Brisbane. People need to learn about the damage they do. Keep up the great work mate

I reckon you do an awesome job, the videos are really professional and very informative, mate. Admire your dedication to the hunt. More power to you. Also, great that you're introducing your young fella to the great outdoors, hope he enjoyed everything.

Always enjoy grabbing a beer and sitting out the patio to watch your video's. Keep up the good work mate. There's plenty of us who appreciate it 👍

Good work mate, some people have no idea the damage these wild dogs do.

Nice work. People need to realise these dogs are not cuddly companions but ruthless killers of anything they can catch.

Good stuff. Most people have no idea how destructive these wild dogs are to native animals and livestock! Some of my favourite memories are time spent in the bush with my dad. I'm glad you can share that with your family too!

Another Awesome Video mate Big Thumbs Up! Love the Slow Mo

Well done mate. Great info on the the effort involved in this type of pest management. Surprised the KFC even made it to the property. Maybe you had a tweeny on the the way out. 🤣

There’s only two things wrong with your videos - they’re not long enough and there’s not enough of the them. Can’t wait for the next

Well planned and executed mate. Nice work.

Absolutely brilliant trail cam setup😎👍

Love the slowmo shot on the white dog 👍👍👍👍🇦🇺 I just bought a 6.5 creedmoor and can’t wait to get home and use it

Great work Nath - as always 👍

Always a pleasure watching your video's- great shooting, great production & very well spoken! Cheers

love what you do, I can't believe there are people who complain about killing wild dogs, they are an absolute nightmare, especially during lambing season. they kill anything they can catch. anyway another great video. 👍 👌

I gave it a thumbs up even before watching it because every single video you make is excellent.

Love it mate, well done. Vids are looking super polished and professional.

Ive always been a pretty good shot with small calibre stuff like .22 and air rifle, but pretty inexperienced with the bigger gear. How you think i can get more experienced without spending bulk coin?

Mosquitoes are bad this year. What do you use to help you cope with them?

The Hunter Valley is looking green, which part of the HV do you shoot ?

I don't see why people are complaining about you hunting down these buggars.... Those POSs are annoying!!! Keep doing what you are doing mate... Love your videos 💯

Thanks for sharing, I enjoy your vids, much to learn. Cheers. With your thermal gear I’m guessing it’s premium gear, what is it and is there much descent thermal gear out there at the budget end?

Keep up the great job you’re doing for the farmers, natives and environment mate.

Great video Nathan, the long sit pays off mate, you’ll get the black n white dog! I watched a video this week of Mark Ripley sitting for hours! Another great marksman! Great video as usual, stay safe mate! Beautiful place the Hunter Valley!

Great video mate, I love your setup & was totally wrapped up in the hunt with you. Looking forward to more from you.

Greetings from the US. Just stumbled across your feed a couple of weeks ago. Really enjoy the content. You’re a wicked shot. Trying to get your name out here.

Another great video Nathan. Thanks again.

Awesome footage of the Pill in flight on the white dog! Keep up the awesome conservation work!!!

Hey Nate, noob questions here - do you set the scope at 200m when you have setup the overwatch spot, and then back it off to 100m for night, or on the scope do you know where to aim lower/higher depending on range, or finally, is bullet drop not that important with that particular type of weapon?

All thums up for you cobber. Keep doing what you doing. Don't worry about the dogooders.

Question. You venture into thick vegetation and bushland all the time in search for your target species. Do you ever come across snakes?

Fantastic shooting bud 😊👌❤️🇬🇧

Thanks for doing the eco system a favour by restoring the natural order back

Loving the slo-mo shot 👍👍 great vid as usual. Can't get close enough to a dog to loose an arrow into, might see if the ol tin whistle works on em.

Well done. Like to see you move into Bangkok. Plenty of Soi Dogs there!

Only just found this amazing channel, already watched 5 of your vids, u deserve more subs

Great video as always Nathan.

Always enjoy your Vids Nathan, great job...

Enjoyed this one mate. Great job

That slow mo was unreal, see the slug fly and all. Nice clean shot is a whole lot nicer AND safer than the dog grabbing a bait

Great stuff, it's good to see someone mention just what work goes into hunting stuff like this. Other channels makes it look oh so easy!!

Well done mate. Top video.

Great work as usual mate!!

Great work, what a tease on that second dog. Last outing all I got was over 100 mosquito bites on my back and knees so I'm out until cooler weather and thicker cloths.

Great vids and shooting mate.

Great work and great video dude!

Good video. What are the types of deer? Also have you tried a thermacell for the misquotes?

Another great video mate keep them coming can’t wait for the next one👍👍

You know mate, the KFC in the tree was the worst part of the clip - don't you know what gets put in that stuff ????? Great vid as always, and the tech support to make the best use of your time out in the paddock is a fantastic idea !!!

What was the thermal scope you were using? it was crystal clear.

2 out of 3 not bad Nathan. Without guys like u Aussie dogs would b everywhere

Another great instructional video mate regarding tactics and methodology when hunting the feral wild dogs. The dirty bird does cop a flogging as your snack of choice. 👍🏻

“Boring as bat shit”! I like that lol

Another great video...thumbs up to the 6br😉👍 All the best from the UK..

Done a lot of shooting round the Hunter valley, never knew they had sambar. Learn something new every day

A good video to show the likes of me that it's not all beer and skittles. Just curious if those mozzies settle down after a time or are they that vicious all night? And what do you do to protect yourself? As I'm guessing you want to avoid anything that gives of a scent and therefore your position. Thanks again.

Top job mate, one less killer roaming around

Gday good work thanks for the videos do u still have the 204

I find a good audiobook softly in one ear can help a few hours after setting up on a spot.

A Wild Dog is a Wild Dog...Love your work well done !!

About 30 years ago I was part of a team that worked with National Parks and Vic Parks to clear out wild dogs. We'd go to the local town and put up flyers, ads in the local paper and on local radio, town hall meetings. All so people knew we were in the area and where and when we'd be shooting so they could keep their dogs at home those times - amazing how many people KNOW that their dog wouldn't hurt sheep or cattle. We were in teams of three with a shooter, spotter and park ranger. The ranger said "yes" or "no" if it was a dingo or not. If not a dingo we could hit it. Some days we were shooting across valleys at dogs up to 900m away. At the end of the few days/week in an area we'd have all the dead dogs displayed in front of the town hall. Funny how about 1 in 3 had collars. I'd have given a testicle for a supressor and thermal like you've got, but such things were just a dream for us then. I had a first generation ex-Soviet NVG. Damned thing weighed a ton and ate batteries alive. Got a sore neck from wearing it for more than half an hour and 4 AA batteries would go flat in less than 20 minutes using it. Supressors were strictly verboten at the time, even for registered pros. I had a Macmillan .50 bolt-action for the long work (+300m - 1000m) and an old Tikka .243 that was modified to within an inch of its life for shorter ranges (-300m).

well done and thank you for your excellent work !

Good Job Mate ! - How far do you typically need to drive for a HUNT ? Thanks

The amount of feral animals in Australia is mind-blowing sometimes.

keep up the good work mate. I hope oneday the bush becomes dog-free.

Thanks for the upload mate 👍🏼👍🏼

Love your content, keep them coming

Nice work Nathan. 👍

Love the job your doing 👍🏼, keep it up 🍻🇦🇺

That was a cracking shot.

Another great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great vid mate.

What would be the problem if you were to use mosquito repellent when you are out hunting?

Hi I have a question, can anyone answer ? what is the difference between a dingo and a wild dog in Australia ?

Top stuff mate, appreciate the time invested v the result !

Curious what s a good online site for binoculars? 2 k price range Thanks Love the videos

Keep up the good work!

Cool Nathan City People have no idea Mate what’s going on, thanks for sharing Cheers

Great stuff Nathan. ✌️

Another one bites the dust well done Nathan .How long have Sambar been that far north mate I have heard of them being a fair way south of you and also Rusa and Chital south of Sydney but I didn't know they were in the Hunter .And yes the KFC must be eaten.

Keep the good work mate 👌

What method do you use to swap scopes out in the field and keep them zeroed

This is real conservation, thank you.

great job on the wild 👍👍👍

Pitty you did not get the other dog , maybe next time , keep the vids coming

great video mate

Keep up good work mate keep knocking the CATS and dogs over 👍

Great video mate! Try to give out a few barks/howels. I bet it is the dominant dog in the area and he/she might come in to challenge you.....and your fast friends 😉

I'm an animal lover and hate to see cruelty . Knowing the mayhem that Wild Dogs and Foxes can do I whole heartedly agree to culling such animals . I'd like to have some Humans culled for the madness that they can impose ...

Good work mate. Hunting dogs is 90% waiting. Certainly tests your patience.

Man, thermal optics would make a huge difference to my trips, but damm they're pricey for quality.. im out here with mounted spotties and headlamps lol and have to really check my targets at night, lots of cattle and sheep around .. your videos are really cool! Thanks for the inspiration

Another good video Nathan. One thing about shooting is that you have to put the hours in. Some days it all comes together, some days it doesn’t. Good result to get that dog. People who are unhappy you are shooting them clearly know nothing about Australia and our feral pest problems.

Good job. And more great information for a new pest shooter. Thanks.

Hate cats... love dogs.... but if there running wild , do your thing. Great work as usual. 😎🇦🇺👌
