A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!"

shanksponyActually the thing I like about his shooting is that even at the thought of a pig not dead he gives it another one. Big ups for that!

shanksponyIts kind of deceptive though too. Having done a little bit of this, with a good pilot you are on a floating platform 20 meters above the animals. Its harder on deer and in steeper country, but flat ground and animals with a standard gait like pigs, you would get pretty efficient pretty quickly.

gryphon1That sand was bogging them down but nonetheless the bloke is a crack shot,far better than any I have seen on YT previously, in fact some of the chopper shooting displayed has been abysmal.

georgeldMan I've never seen such fine shooting .
Very seldom missed.
I would be concerned about the bird hanging up in a tree flying below the tops of so many. Mighty fine pilot that one.
Thanks for posting the link,

30.06kingLooks like fine shooting to me. Moving targets from a moving platform ( courtesy of a skilled pilot ) not the easiest situation in which to place accurate shots. Looked to me like many, perhaps most, were head shots too judging by the way pigs went down. Impressive for sure.
Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing.

shanksponyThe other thing that I thought was good, was he seemed to be using a decent size calibre. Im guessing 308, from the way it smashed them down and left a dust cloud.

BakesShotgun as well I think Shanks at least for some of the footage.

sambarman338Did anyone see '7.30' last night? Some animalarians supposedly snuck into an Australian pork abbatoir where the pigs were 'anaesthetised' by carbon dioxide before slaughter. Trouble was they seemed not to do it properly, leaving the young pigs screaming in distress at the loss of oxygen.
As I said to my anti-hunting wife (who does - or did - like pork), the kindest way to kill a pig is out in the bush with a gun, where whatever happens relates simply to the life of wild prey species. She won't eat anything vaguely identified as game, though, not even quail or domestic duck from a shop. (It doesn't stop there, either, as sea food and many sausages are also off the list. My next effort might be a cookbook called
What ... won't eat.)
