That looks like more fun than a toddler in a room full of bouncy balls! If I ever got a chance to go down under, I'd want to look you guys up! Great video, it was fun to watch. Haha... Glad you like it longshot3. It's great to get some feedback. Definitely send me a msg if your heading over this way. Be fun to take out someone from the USA.👍

That looks a lot like what we do in the winter to coyotes on snow mobiles. Lots of fun. Very dangerous. Usually one guy is the hazer and one guy is the shooter. An AR15 or a shotgun using #4 buck works best. Being a little dangerous adds to the fun. #4 Buckshot loads I've seen over here are worth 3 times the price of the loads I use. I imagine they would work a treat. Just too dam pricey over here.

Looks like a hoot! Reminds me of chasing jacks through the cedars as a kid from the back of an FJ40 landcruiser. Old man and his buddy would have a couple "sundowners" with dinner, wait for dark, pile us kids in the back of the FJ40, turn on the KC's, and go out chasing jacks in the cedars.
Holy hell, could not get away with that these days! Sounds like glory days there DaveR. I'm guessing Jacks are Jack Rabbits right? Yep, jackrabbits. Fun times back then.
Guns are responsible for killing as much as Rosie O'Donnel's fork is responsible for her being FAT.

I'm glad to hear other's beliefs in #1 buckshot. You can't tell the younger cats around here in my neck of the woods a damn thing - they are all about "double aught" (#00). Just won't listen to us old farts who have experience. And impossible to find loaded. I just got done setting a guy up. He uses #1 or #2 He hates to use Double Aught....now he doesn’t have to! Lol I have mentioned it on 24hourcampfire before. We use something a little smaller again than #1 Buckshot. They call it AAA Buckshot hear. The Exact load I use often is Eley Alphamax 36gr AAA. It works a treat. But I don't think it's available in the USA from what I'm told. The Video I put on this thread is not the best example as I wasn't using AAA in this one. Watch my other Video Called Hog muster 3 on my YouTube Channel to see the AAA in action. Do you buy your ammo or does the Govt buy it for you? I'm guessing it gets a bit spendy if you buy your own. No the government doesn't buy my ammo. The Farmers generally pay and supply for my Ammo and fuel. That AAA ammo. We can normally source it for about $150 Au per 250 rounds. It's not to bad. That's cheaper than I would have expected.

I’ve enjoyed the videos that you’ve been posting. I hadn’t thought about how beaten up you guys get after a day of hunting. In my mind I’m still in my twenties and resilient, not 54. Maybe a bubble wrap suit would be in order? :-). Something to give a little advantage.

We do have a bit of foam wrapped around the hole in the roof. It works alright. If I didn't finish the day a little beaten up I'd feel like we hadn't been trying hard enough. That's part of a good day out.👍

As far as I can tell, AAA shot is just a little larger than our BB. Is BB available in lead? (I've been out of serious shotgunning for a WHILE)

BB Is a common game load in Australia as farmers use it for shooting Kangaroos off there crops when there is Plague numbers... which is often. I lot of farmers here also use BB shot for pigs as it's so much cheaper than Buckshot loads as it can still be made using a drop tower. AAA Loads are still reasonably priced here and work well on Hogs.
