Be that hunting property access or location details, thermal scope recommendations, what do I eat from the shooting trips etc. Hopefully there's a few small pointers in here for everyone and it might give you an insight to the sheer volume of questions everytime I upload a RUclips video.
As of Monday morning ALL of my state - NSW in Australia will be in lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please everyone stay safe and do the right thing, we can all get through these hard times together.

You have the best Australian hunting channel on youtube mate.
Thanks Murphy. Heaps of other great content too. It's an awesome little community of creator's 👌
“Some weird ass country”. Took me a good minute to stop laughing. 😂😂. I bloody love this channel and you. You’re very sensible and extremely informative. I always look forward to your posts so keep them coming. 😉👍
Thanks David, really appreciate that comment mate 👌
I knew someone who ate foxes in the UK, he kind of lived in the woods so erm yeah not a regular UK person
🤮 I don't care where you live
Those bastards reek 😳
@@mccarthyfamily4114 Hasn't he heard about fish n chips?
@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK Absolutely! 😖
Don’t let the negative comments get to you, you are doing the regional areas and farming communities a great service with the pest control - good on you mate keep up the good work
Thanks Arnold. More amusing and sometimes annoying the comments. They don't really get to me though. I wouldn't do this stuff if they did 👍
Negative comments come for city fuckers that have never been in the bush but tell bush people what’s best for the bush.
Yeh fk em! Keep these idiot soyboys in the concrete shitholes drinking crap expensive coffee. Leave to outback to the real men! 👍
Im a country dude living in Sydney, hats off to u mate, what a bloody great career!!!! Your doing a great job for all communities man keep living the dream 👍
The absolute classic saying that just made my day…
“Who the fxxk eats foxes???”
Hilarious bud!
Love the brutal honesty, not enough of it anymore 👍🍻🇦🇺
Thanks Ralph 👍👍
I am sure cooking a fox would be exactly like cooking a cockatoo. You put a huge pot of water on the heat. Wait until water is boiling rapidly, then add 5 medium sized stones. Put skinned and cleaned fox in to boiling water, cook until stones are tender, throw out fox and eat the stones. That is my old dads recipe. I miss the old fella.
Ha ha ….very good
A oldie but goodie that one😀
@@rodfletcher9937 I was wondering what rocks had to do with it :)
That was my recipe! I'm getting old.
I was on my boat once next to thos other random boat , water police doing patrols guy in the other boat caught this rubbish fish he asked the cop what it was and best way to cook it , the cop said pretty much the same thing about the rocks lol he then goes oh btw do you have a life jacket 🤣
Luv the fact you talk us through your hunts, and tell us stories. Keep em same same and thank you. Feels like we're right there doing it too...
Thanks mate. I find just kill shots without context get dull. I'm glad you like the format. I'd rather tell a bit of a story on the hunt of how things unroll.
Nathan one of the best themes of your videos is that you keep the content real and honest. Maybe in Australia you haven’t been generationally, or social media shamed to believe everything about hunting is bad, but those sort of sentiments are unfortunately ramping up in Canada.
Really enjoy the content as always, along with the excellent visual effects. It stands to reason you invest loads of time and money into your equipment and resulting high end production.
Thanks Dave. We are certainly a huge minority in Australia and the media is happy to negatively portray us 😩
Just a word of appreciation for the videos you post. As someone who has done a fair amount of shooting in years gone by and still has several rifles that sit idle, I really enjoy watching an Ausie living the dream. My wife is very sick and I can’t get out much but watching your videos is the next best thing. I used to watch a few American videos, but they tend to be a little too American. Thanks heaps, keep it going. Phil.
I really appreciate it Philip. I'm sorry to hear about your wife and touched that you gain something out of watching me do my thing 👌
This channel is a perfect balance of shooting and talking!
I enjoy your chats and tutorials. Thanks mate. I am glad your are not company biased, great for a change.
Great video Nathan. As someone who'll probably never own or use a firearm of any kind, you do provide a very informative magazine of your hunting trips and the game you are able to hunt. Removing the ferals is a bonus. By all means, have more Q&A videos. And don't be put off by the detractors.
Keep up the good work, I know the reasons you do what you do. Yes you are a pro at shooting, takes years to get the way you are. Good shooting and gods speed to ya all on this beautiful land. 👍🎥🥇
Keep up the good work, love your videos. Thanks for sharing part of your life with us.
I love your channel. I think you are doing great things for your ecosystem. I also enjoy your commentary. Keep up the good work!
Appreciate the comment mate 👍
LOL Im glad that do these Q/A, answered several of my questions all at once. Buy once, Cry once.... Priceless
As someone who wants to get into hunting, this was really helpful Nathan. Many thanks for taking the time to make this! Great to see you in the bush w/ your little bloke too; way to go. Stay well mate.
Thanks Bryce, really glad you liked the video 👌
In my opinion, yours is the best hunting/shooting RUclips channel. Thanks for making them and sharing your leisure time. It has definitely inspired me to get into it. I’ll be moving to northern nsw soon and my plan is to get into recreational hunting and shooting. Of course, starting off basic and developing from there.
Thanks Scott, you'll be in a great region for it up there mate 👌
Just watched this genuine blog mate
😀😀😀👍👍👍
Answered a few questions I had
Difficult to see the destruction ferals cause from the lounge room
Keep up mate, legend
Just found your channel and I'm loving the content. I shoot squirrels rats and rabbits here in the UK on a couple of permissions as pest control for friends and your level headed approach to the 'Why' question shows great restraint.
Thanks mate. It's certainly a challenge sometimes dealing with opposite view or opinion sources 🙄. Oh well, really glad you like the video's mate 👌
Not into hunting myself and more than happy just to target shoot at the range to play with my various toys . But love your all your vids and fully understand you provide a valuable much needed service for property owners . Keep it up and don’t change a thing with your edits 👍
Really appreciate that mate
Appreciate your honesty and down-to-earth personality - it's really engaging and refreshing.
Thanks mate 👌
Another awesome video and you didnt even fire a shot. Thanks for the entertainment while we are stuck at home.
You did better than I with some of those questions! Unbelievable what people will say before they think. Thanks!
Good on you, about time someone such as yourself came along. Love your channel and talks. I've been a shooter all my life a great sport and lifestyle. God bless you and your family.
Thanks David. Really appreciate it mate 👌
Great vid mate. I been watching a few of them you promote safe shooting and all your kills are dispatched humanely. I reckon blokes like yourself are doing a huge job in feral animal control and environmental impact. Keep em coming.
Appreciate it David 👌
Thanks for sharing good info. Love your brutality honest and direct approach!
Awesome Mate love your honesty and always excited to watch your videos this one made me laugh with what some people say to you
Hey mate, I'm luvin' all your answers ; not only are you "doing the right thing " ,but you're enjoying yourself too !!! For those who don't like your "jabbering" ,there's volume control, and they can watch you mime ... Calibres , well ....we could have an amicable discussion over a few beers,sherbets, wine(red or white), or port ... What you got works for you (very well)..!!! You're putting down some great memories - I'm a bit disappointed I don't have many photos of what I've done in years past ... Once you've got a solid reputation, offers aren't that hard to come by ... Continue to enjoy, and share - I'm re-living a lot of memories !!!
Cheers Paul. It's an enjoyable ride for the main part 👌
Keep doing what your doing mate, love the channel and the content. I've been watching for a while now and enjoy the variety of hunting methods, game and locations. Thank you - Wal
Keep up the good work fella, thats most of the questions you see flying around these days so well done!
Yeah you'd get the same stuff. Thanks mate 👌
Great video ,I found your channel right after hurricane Ida hit Louisiana. I had no power are cable vision.So I sat here binge watching all your channel. Thanks
Welcome aboard!
I have brothers and cousins that enjoy hunting , personally ive never had the urge , but im certainly not offended by people getting feral animals off our land , having seen a few of your clips id like to commend you on the quality of your shooting and the integrity of your hunting style PS feral cats are never deserving of pity
Thanks Robert
Great video mate. I like you even more now. I stumbled across your channel a few weeks ago and I have enjoyed watching your content. Seems my interest in hunting is returning after many years doing other things and you are certainly fueling my interest and enjoyment. Cheers
That's awesome mate. The passion may linger but it never disappears 👌
My partner and I both enjoy the odd little bit of shooting and we look forward to your videos with great anticipation love your work love your philosophy cheers
Awesome stuff
Thanks mate. Just jumped on over to patreon & saw you offer a 10% discount for 12 months now so pulled the trigger. 😉👍
Cheers & hope the lockdown isn't too stressful mate.
Cheers. 🍻
I haven't checked out Rob Bob's for Ages. I'll head over there now.
@@michaelbillingham1317 😁👍🍻
Appreciate you taking the time to make a Q&A video! I would be interested in trying fox at least once!
Mate your keener than I to try that 🤮
Do you eat foxes? One thing about the Chinese.... If it's got four legs & is not a chair, they will eat it. If it fly's or has two wings & is not a 747, they will eat it. If it swims underwater or has fins & is not a submarine, they will eat it.
I watched a video of someone in Asia who caught grasshoppers during the day and fried and sold them at night for a snack for club/pub goers. It's a living for them. They would probably like KFF.
I think I've seen that video
@@GIANTSECRETS K Fried Fox that is a new one for me.
Haha, I think that's an old cantonese proverb!
I found a fox recipe from the south of France; like all game animals, its a case of preparation.
Appreciate the truth on scope recommendations, I love getting in tight bush personally
Look forward to seeing your posts. Thanks for all the tips.
Love your work mate
Love the channel, look forward to your vids and posts. All the best from the South Coast NSW.
Thanks for the videos mate. I am stuck in lockdown in Sydney, and your videos take me back to a few months ago when I too was hunting in regional NSW. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Mason. I'd love to say hopefully you'll be back out hunting soon. But I can't see anything changing if your in Sydney 😔 Feel for you mate 😞
@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK Thanks. Good luck.
Nathan, you’re a legend. Love the channel. Great work.
Thanks Matthew 👌
Great video Nathan. Never a dull moment with you.
Plenty of dull in lockdown 😩
Well done on your videos mate.
I love the rawness and honesty in your videos keep up the great work
Much appreciated
some very interesting insights, and a lot to think about thank you, including some i hadn't even thought of, always love your videos mate 👌 cheers!
Love the straight forward no crap honesty. Keep up the awesome work look forward to more videos
Thanks mate 👌
Why do you make RUclips videos? Because they are awesome and your sense of humour makes people laugh and smile.
Thanks for the content mate!
Cheers Thomas. Don't worry I question that myself sometimes 🤦♂️
Great vid mate your sence of humour cracks me up keep em coming your vids are awesome cheers Yogi 🇦🇺🤙🤙
Another good video mate , I don't understand the hate comments, you are an ethical hunter looking after local wildlife that have no defence against invasive species, and teaching your little one good values. Keep it up mate & over here in Scotland, we don't eat the foxes either, who would!
After my dad got out of the ADF 1950 to 1960 ish. he went feral pig/roo/rabbit/fox shooting for a living around Texas an Goondiwindi .
Too bad that we didnt have digital cameras back then , Now I could watch his adventures and story's.
he's aged 95 now and still farming
95 and still going, that's awesome.
Love your work keep it up champ👍🏼
Mate, just about pissed myself at the fox question! Lol. Great video as always and very entertaining!
Love your channel. I got into night shooting after seeing your success. After trying night vision, I'm pulling the trigger on thermal. Thermion 2 XQ38 for me, prefer the lower magnification over the XQ50 and I don't shoot past 200 meters, so I think it'll suit me well. Cheers for all the info and great videos 👍
Nice work mate
You seem like a pretty good dude, mate. Love watching the videos and aren't afraid to show the "killing" side of it. I enjoy seeing that our pests and dangers to our flora and fauna being eradicated and controlled. Good work.
Thanks Brett 👌
Nice Q&A mate. Please keep your videos coming😊👍🏻
Excellent Narrative mate, Keep up the good work (from a now old pom who lived went to school in Melbourne) just loved the Bush and the deadly brown snake second most toxic of any land snake in the world I encountered near bendigo, all I had was a tree branch to fend it off coming at me like a cobra, 13 at the time.
Snakes can be bloody scary eh. I'm used to them and still not a big fan. Glad you liked the video mate 👌
No criticism of your work Nathan, well done on a super series! Stay well mate, God Bless you and your Family!
Thanks Bobby, you too mate 🤙
Sir, I found your channel by accident a couple of days ago, and fully endorse what you are doing.
I had a Diana airgun as a kid and you could watch the pellets coming out of it. Nuff said on that.
You are shooting "imported vermin", and that has to be a good thing.
You admit to shooting deer, and you also state that it is for consumption, not financial gain. Again a good thing.
I believe that I am like you in this, and I detest the muppets (keeping it nice there) who get great "sport" from shooing everything from road signs to the poor little wren who happened to be sitting quietly on a branch.
Keep up the good work. I doubt that will ever fully eradicate the vermin from Aus (Myxy proved that), but if there are not people like yourself out there attacking it, we will end up in a complete mess.
Keep doing what you are doing well, and chewy on the muppets.
Thanks mate 👊
Excellent channel I totally agree with your comments on pest species. Globalisation has had it's benefits in some way but the introduction of non native species globally whether for food or for sport is detrimental to the native flora, fauna and environment. All the best from Charlie in the UK.
Thanks Charlie, appreciate the comment 👍
Dude I love your "Chatty" shooting videos and this Q & A! I have seen quite a few channels now doing similar to you and yours are by far the best! You are quite the impressive young man doing a vital service to the country. Just a pity you don't shoot cane toads as well!
Thanks John, anyone that calls my 40yr old shell young gets a big👍
I don't know about everyone else but I enjoy the commentary in the videos. Damn good work.
Thanks Kevin. I appreciate the feedback. Seems about 98% of people enjoy more than just the kill shots which is great to hear
@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK don't get me wrong I do enjoy the killshots but if that's the entire video it gets boring. Yours is balanced nicely.
As you know Nath, I'm a big fan and love your vids. Wouldn't know how to shoot a gun to save my life, but you do a great job out there and I really like this Q&A honesty format. Cheers mate.
Thanks Dean
SSAA membership and certified as "Farmer Assist" with SSAA may give more opportunities for access to properties. You shouldn't eat carnivores such as foxes. Just eat herbivores. It is risky eating pigs because they are omnivores but here in Australia, commercially grown pigs cannot be fed "slops" or meat products.
Keep up the great work Nathan and stay safe especially now that the whole of NSW is in lock-down. Greetings from the Central West.
Thanks David. I don't know too many people who have had success with the farmer assist program.
I've acquired three M8 Leupolds which sit on my dedicated hunting rifles - .243 , .308, and my entry level big banger 300 Win Mag ...
Love your work Nathan!!
What a great bunch of questions and answers to give us an insight into being a responsible hunter. As for secret locations though how about a secret trip to Crookwell, the feral cat capital of NSW.
It seems there's lots of cat capitals 😣
Very good video Nathan. Had me laughing out loud. People that don't do ANY homework about non-naive and invasive species impact sure seem to have strong opinions. They're wrong, wrong headed and just plain ignorant but never in doubt. Amazing. Thank for bringing us along!
I always find your Q & A videos very interesting and answer a lot to questions. Keep up the excellent work
Thanks Rob, that's why I stated doing them 👌
I've only just discovered your channel and am working my way through all your videos. Loving it, fantastic job, keep them coming. This Q&A video was great, and it's always interesting to hear your tactics & describe how you circled around a mob of pigs or whatever. Keep that up, as you said a kill shot reel gets old quick. I don't know if you've done one, but a video of your quad bike setup would be good.
Thanks Neil. Keep scrolling back on the video's mate. There's certainly a ATV setup/build video on my quadbike 👌
Great video, well spoken and answered .I’m an Aussie shooter.
Love the mix, mate. Don't change a thing. What you are doing gets a big thumbs up from me. Cheers
Thanks Rod 👍
Keep up the great work on ferals mate, did APB shooting myself . Great Aussie
Docter 8x56 is very good at long range and short range absolutely amazing
Good little video. I don't shoot but I am glad to see you are doing your bit to help control introduced feral animals. I have been watching videos from the States and their feral pig populations are out of control in many of the Southern states. We definitely do not want to see the same thing happening here in Australia. On the subject of feral cats and dogs, if they aren't under the owner's control at night then they should be shot. Obviously if they are wearing a collar then the owner needs a decent fine to remind them to exercise responsible control over their animals. More and more councils are requiring pet owners to keep their pets safe and secure at night. Cat outdoor cage runs are ideal, so the cat can get some fresh air without fighting with other cats or attacking other animals. Also saves on Vet bills.
Enjoy your lockdown we are up to # 6 in Melbourne.
Mark from Melbourne
#6 lockdown 😞. Man that sucks.
Love your work Nathan! Keep it coming!
Thanks! Will do!
Who the Fark eats foxes?!!!! That cracked me up big time!! Great vid mate, well done! See you on the next one. PS, I'm not a hunter myself but enjoy your work in eradicating these pest species from our great land...
Fantastic to hear mate. Really glad you like the content and what we are trying to do 👍
Great video mate I had a chuckle and I left with a smile 👍Ps love the Q&A format
Hey bud love you videos , just bought my first thermion an XQ38 as budget has a lot to do here , unbelievable the amount of confidence it can bring shooting rabbits and rats with it just around home on my 14acre block , currently mounted on my Rotex RM8 pcp have the mounts and rails to get it on my 17hmr and also my 270WSM , listened to your your views and bought a Porter Machine Works uni mount for the thermal , all seems well but haven’t tried removal and replacement yet on any rifle … anyhow keep up the good work throughly enjoy all your vids
Cheers Bevo
Awesome mate. Just make sure you hold onto that WSM with a thermal running shorter eye relief than what you'll be used to with a glass optic. Hate to see you scope yourself.
I'm a fairly new subscriber and I've tried to watch as many of your back catalogue videos as possible.
Great work on the feral animals.
I'm not a shooter but really admire your skills. Maybe it is something I might look at in the future. I am learning a lot by watching your videos though. You have a great presentation style. Keep it up.
Thanks Troy, appreciate the comment.
Mate… perfect answers! Love your vids😍😍😍👍
Awesome that you are answering some of these regularly asked questions.👍
I try
Watched a few of your video's recently and decided to subscribe and ring the bell. Excellent contents in your videos different to over here in the UK. nice to see different ways of hunting.
Thanks Ian
Your an intelligent person. Have a witty mind and a great sense of humor. You share a tremendous amount of experience, technical knowledge and common sense. My wife has never been a believer in killing anything including mice. But has a shit fit when one gets stuck in our hvac duct work. She wants it removed unharmed. Reality it's not a catch and release habitat so they go to heaven for their cheese delights. I have hunted since my father first handed me a 22 single shot rifle when I was 5 years old. I am 75 now and still hunt and backpack into the back country after elk, deer, antelope, hogs and shoot varmints coyote, fox, bobcat, ground squirrels, prairie dogs, skunks, rats, mice. Why because learning to respect firearms started as a child. I put food in the table. Share with friends who enjoy my harvest. As a U. S. Marine and a 3 tour combat disabled veteran of Vietnam.My father an uncles served in WWII, Korea. They taught all the boys/men in our large extended family to hunt. To use a map and compass. To survive, to fight, box , wrestle, and apologize to no one! Look what's happening today. Today in the USA politicians want to fund sex changes for military members that desire alterations. Give me a fucking break! If people don't like what your sharing then don't visit the site. By the way they can fuck off. Sgt R.W. Gonzales USMC
You are a legend mate and I love it when you post a vid. You are doing our country a huge favour taking out those pest. Never stop doing what your doing. I was wondering the next time go go out fox hunting if you could talk us through your thoughts, steps and what you use 😊😊👍👍👍
Can look at a fox hunting how to no worries 👌
@@EDGEoftheOUTBACK legend thank you so much mate 😊👍
Great to see you Robbo and Rodney on last night. I think we as hunters need to see more cross channel talks here in Oz as it may help those whingy Muppets realise we are all in this together. Oh and if I did win the lotto I would have given you three a hunting drone. LOL
Thanks mate. The RUclips community of channels is quite friendly. How good would a thermal drone be 😍
Awesome, awesome video bro! Well done all the way around. Excellent. Couldn't like it any more than I do. I agree 1000% with everything you said. I wish there was a super thumbs up button.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your a legend and entertaining to watch so keep it up mate. Great you take the time to write people back and help with information freely.
Ps. Eating Fox - classic moment 🤣
Much appreciated
Just keep doing what your doing.
Love your comentry and light humour, all my shooting mates watch your channel now👍
Awesome to hear mate. The support is hugely appreciated 🤙
Love your work mate. Keep it up.
Brilliant honest, factual and entertaining content, the only negative is that I am so jealous....and please give some more cats the good news it makes my day
Thanks Mitch 🤙
Nice work young fella it's just bugger can't out for a shot due to lockdown in the Hunter
Sucks eh. I'll slip one last venture in tonight before the 5km rule. Then that's me completely restricted as I've got nothing that close to home.
Great video, best thing is your honesty!! Keep up the great work
Thanks Ian 👍
Good open and honest talk. Well done.
Cheers Alan 👌
I like what you are doing. Thanks for the uploads.
My pleasure!
Love ya work mate, keep it up👌
Occasionally see you show up in FB groups haha
You will never see me being negative about what you do Nathan you do what I started doing back in the 60s in my teens because growing up in the country we knew what cats and foxes and wild dogs did to the environment It's amazing that all these years later people don't understand it ,but I suppose the saying that you can't put brains in a statue is appropiate
Very much so Rod. Hope your well mate
Another excellent video. I appreciate your direct answers.
Cheers Peter
Love your style mate call it as it is even got a couple of laughs 👍👍👍👍👍
