Sometimes a bit of a challenge to brace yourself in the vehicle to take your shots as you and the pigs run across the paddock. Have to look out for low branches and stuff too, if you are standing up in the back of a ute. Doing the same thing at night, with one driving, one holding the light and one shooting is also fun. Is that your video OzzyHunter?

Where in Oz are you? Nice shooting! Yes, I've done a bit of that, on various properties out in western NSW and SW Qld. Shooting from the back of various utes and open 4WDs. Sometimes holding on with one hand and shooting the pig as we come up alongside, one handed. Sometimes with a rifle over the top of the cab too. Some fun times to be had!

Reivertom I don't think anyone could keep up with it for 8 hours. We normally go for about 3 or 4 hoirs at a time depending on the properties we are on.
