Hogs and stuff...

[thaHooligan]

Got to try out the new thermal for the first time last night and my initial impression is, I love it! lol. I think with the atn xsight 4k pro and the predator tactics ir light I can see and identify animals at longer ranges, but that whole set up probably weighs twice, if not three times, as much as this thermal. I definitely prefer the lighter weight!

You gonna have to get quiet!

I try! It's kinda hard when you are walking through the woods in the pitch black darkness with no moon light! lol. Also, I just took out this beast about an hour ago. Has some pretty nice cutters. I'll have to take the head off this one and clean it up. I'll probably have the video of it later this week or early next week.

Edit: weighed it this morning, 254 pounds. The biggest hog I've shot so far.

Man, I'm glad to see you are having fun with this!

Hopefully you get many years out of this setup. Keep the great videos coming!

And don't worry about stuff like forgetting a spare mag etc... The pros who have been doing this for years just edit out that part when they do it. Everyone does it.

I figured I would just start a thread and post all of my hunting videos here, so I'm not making a bunch of different threads every time I shoot something. lol. Anyway, here's one that bit the dust this morning.

Hogs must be crazy where your at to get few every night, nice rifles

Very nice . . . . and I could feel your frustration about running out of ammo.

Did you jump through all of the Wildlife Department hoops that come with hunting hogs at night? My brother and I have thought about doing so and I was just curious about the process.

It requires written landowner permission, and registering it with the ODWC on their site. Once you get the hang of it, it takes about 5 minutes per property.

I actually have pre-printed slips of paper with my info, that all the landowners have to do is print and sign their name.

Then, you just need to text your local warden when you'll be out. I've developed a good rapport with our wardens in my area. I literally get the "good luck" response from them.
