I love watching the real-time scope cam footage of Matt shooting! Not only does it show what an awesome shooter he is, but very good education for the rest of us to see when he waits, or when to hurry up & take the shot, and where exactly he's aiming! Thank you very much for these videos! ✌️
Glad you enjoyed it. You can see he is used to hunting elusive monkeys! I will say that I prefer a bit more time and stability when hunting animals but as you say.. he is a very experienced shooter!
Love watching your videos mate 👍🏼 especially the deer ones, in Tassie there are 1000s of these bloody wallaby they are a huge pest !! Good dog tucker tho, I’m sorry but I had to laugh when matt said the 6 creed is the perfect wallaby cartridge 😂 come on man the furthest shot was 250! This is easy headshot distance even for little 223 👍🏼 keep up the good work.
Thanks man! Much appreciated 🙏 yeah the distances were nice and easy this time round. The 6 has great knock down though. You can see that shot placement was fairly generic and with a 223 I'd of aimed a bit more head neck upper chest area to get similar results. The 6 is a bit more forgiving! My next one has similar bang flop out to 800m with my 7mm
Great stuff, I folllow Matt as well. Just shows if you can land those pills from a distance you can up your tally. I understand that the Wallabies are an issue around the Central North Island too. Keep up the good work.
It's an old laminate done by Precision Platforms here in NZ. They are very well designed. He only does carbon ones now, check my 7mm vids to see that. I absolutely rate them. Strong as hell and great design for recoil control and hard shooting positions
Great video. I am in the North Island and would love to come down to help with pest control for a weekend trip. How would I make contact with someone who can help set me up?
For us Aussies it’s hard to believe there pests. Looks like u had a heap of fun. In 2019-20 in the drought they did relax the laws and there property owner had a permit you could shoot Roos. If we didn’t a lot more would have died a slow painful death.
what silly Ozi introduced them? do you eat them? protected in Oz, but Roo's are a different story. Roo's taste great, not the big old bucks though. some places, the whole hill side looks to be moving with roo's.
Must have been about 1971/2 I was on exercise with the Army at Waiouru and went out on patrol from a defended position. When I got back, I found my foxhole had been ransacked; my bread that I had stored was eaten! I was able to catch a glimpse of a bloody wallaby heading off into the tussock. That was the first time I saw a wallaby in the Central North Island. Since then, I understand they have really exploded in numbers. Too old to go hunting them now, but young fellas don't seem too interested these days in hunting - too happy with PlayStation!
It wasn't ideal for sure.. thankfully the very soft ELD-M is very explosive and dumped all that energy nicely into the femoral artery/hips. One of the great things about longer ranges shots from above is the ability to watch the animal is a follow up is needed. None was needed in this case I can assure you.

Thanks. He is doing an episode with the footage too which I'm sure will be better than my editing effort! Haha
Haha - nice. I've hunted out of this hut before too. Shot quite a few wobblies and two pigs. Did you see the mob of Fallow in the head of this block?
Never seen fallow sadly!
Outstanding stuff.
What kind of stock was that on your tikka?

Hey Matt...
It's another story than air rifle huh...???
Great stuff guys.
Thank you

Yeah I bet. They are a plague in areas here. Government spending millions just trying to stop them spreading to other areas.
what silly Ozi introduced them? do you eat them? protected in Oz, but Roo's are a different story. Roo's taste great, not the big old bucks though. some places, the whole hill side looks to be moving with roo's.
Someone in waimate Introduced them for fur I think. They are great to eat in sausages and stews etc. Very lean meat
We got hundreds of the bloody things here in the iom..we used to knock ‘em over by head shots .22 subs out to 70yrds..drop like a hot snot
Yes I usually use the 22 the most. Next episode is 22lr with an infiray thermal on it. Deadly combination for them.

What a cheeky wallaby!!!! Yes it's sad that ppl seem to enjoy the comforts of home so much. You find yourself out amongst the hills
We use dogs.
Yeah they work well
Like pigging? dogs hold and knife?
If you don't hunt you ain't shit.
Come to Australia and get some Camels. 🐪🐪🐪
I hear they are an introduced menace as well over there!
11:50.. how can she say "good shot"? shot was way too low and probably just wounded the animal.. very bad
