Headshot on Sneaking/Stalking Boar

[Brian Shaffer]

This was a fun video I put together from the video from 2 different Armasight Zeus thermal scopes. As the boar came in, it looked like it was stalking the raccoons at the feeder. It certainly didn't seem to be doing the normal sort of security checks hogs do when they come into an open pasture, looking around, sniffing the air, etc. Nope, this hog seemed fixated on what was going on at the feeder. I changed his mind.

Nice!!!! Dropped him didn't you! Good on ya plus you saved the raccoons from certain death!!! BANG BANG!!

 

[DaveABQ]

Sweet. So much for the stalk in to the feeder.

 

[Chopperdrvr]

Nice evening there Brian!

 

[rgilbert]

Fun Stuff! Although I would say he was probably be cautious from getting his butt whooped from a larger hog recently rather than stalking a raccoon. Lol

 

[Ratdog68]

LOL... love it. Looks like he was gonna git him some greasy/stringy corn-thief meat... until... " Thus Spake Zarathustra Pingerator". Good to see Angry Bird on a mission of mercy.

You can tell a stalk when the tail is straight out and one hoof is up. LOL

That's a POINT.

 

[Brian Shaffer]

I try not to let hogs live long enough to get trained, LOL.

I'm a naturalist/sportsman/aviator/gentleman farmer. Nice hunt. What time did you get him?

 

[Brian Shaffer]

LOL, I had to check my phone to see when I called the wife. I got him about 10:30 PM.

Oh Man I really wanted to see what he was going to do! Every dead coon is a good coon!

Guess B just needs to ping 'em.

 

[bldsmith]

That was cool. Hog must of had ringtail on the menu. That deer either has grown accustom to the ping knowing it removes hogs from competition. Either that or she was ping deaf.

Good shot ... and down he went.
