In my case, the buffalo are hogs and I don't have hogs right now on my properties. A few years ago, I tried my hand at long distance mousing. It is something of a challenge. Had some time today to put together this micro trophy hunting concept.

When do you start booking?

I’m not sure about that caliber though. Those big ones may require a 300WM.

Love everything about that vid!


Thanks for posting

Ratting is popular in GB with air rifles.

Speaking of which, after having a few cars chewed up, I would enjoy seeing ratting take off. The little bastards are destructive.

I have watched most, if not all of the GB vids on YouTube. There is just something very satisfying about watching them shoot rat after rat. They mostly use air rifles and in the early days, most were using DIY night vision fabricated from converted camcorder jury-rigged behind day scopes. Some have moved to dedicated night vision gear nowadays, but still very cool stuff!

I agree with the Pie, some seriously cool shooting.

That was great!

Just to be clear, woodrats are dangerous game. I was informed on another forum that in the last 5 years in Texas, woodrats have killed as many hunters as have hippos. It sounds like a myth, but turned out to be true!

Great video man!

That deer buck @ 1:01.... DAMN

You should train contestents of show like Naked & Afraid in proper rat eradication.

I am lucky to see 1 or 2 legal buck on my place in a given year. That little piece of property is only 45 acres and bordered by roads. This year, I may have 4 or 5 that are legal already. Looks like the rat supplements are paying off!

The narration made the video. Hilarious.

There has been a 30pack of hogs in the neighbors field about every other morning here lately. I might have to light'm up this long weekend. I haven't seen any for awhile.

Wow. How come a 6.5 Grendel 140 gr bthp did not shatter that thing?

Not enough resistance to expand the bullet. Needs a varmint bullet for that.

And probably a much lighter varmint bullet at that. The Nosler BTHP is sold as a target/match round, a lot of which do well as varmint rounds, but others that perform more like softpoints. I think this one can go either way. Based on the one hog I shot where I examined the entry wound, it really didn't open up violently until 1.5-2.5" inside the hog, which would have it all the way through the rat by then.

Needs Dogtown bullets for the rat hunt.
