Went to my place in Lavaca County last night. No hogs at the first blind but got a yote. Heading back across the road and located a sounder and took one out. The brush is so thick you get one shot. Went across the road to take pics and located another sounder. Got to get into my first TLM moment and took four. Video will be posted later. 1180 pounds of pork total.

Nice going. That is a pile of hogs. Way to go!!! BANG BANG!!

Nice picture also.
 
Very nice pile of pork there, as well as "summa udda kinda meat". I'll have to share the tale of that one.
 
WOW..How many bullets? 100 or 10?
 
Great night indeed!
 
Very cool! That's a tough act to beat there. You've set a new standard, our expectations of you are higher now you know!

When you see the video you will see that even when they come at me, one shot one kill. Unlike others. Cough, cough. LOL
 
Lol awesome. Sounds like a great night!
 
RG way cool night of hog killing and a yote to boot. Great job!
 
Awesome! That last one I was going shoot, shoot! That was good shooting!
 
Good job staying on target and rolling them up..ran out of ammo? you sure were steady on that last pull w no bullet! No wasted shots except on the little ones.
 
Thanks Frank. I can't seem to hit the little ones for some reason.

Equipment used:
6.8 ***/factory Hornady 120SST
IR Hunter MKII 35mm

This night showed again what I had been missing by not using thermal. The first hog I killed was across the county road. After I shot her I went to get my four wheeler. When I came back she was not where I thought she should be. I scanned the brush and she had moved about fifteen yards and was still alive. After I loaded her and the yote up I went back across the road to take pictures and hit the rack. After taking pictures I scanned with NV and thought I saw something. I turned on the thermal and could clearly see a sounder of about thirty to fifty hogs at three hundred yards. I stalked in using NV and switched to thermal for the kill shots. I will never be without a good thermal unit again.

These hogs where in a mesquite grove and without the thermal I would have had a hard time seeing them, much less make the shots I was able to. I am a thermal junkie. Repeat, I am a thermal junkie. LOL

Also, I was unable to find the head shot hog for some reason. I reviewed the video and was able to identify the tree she was under. No problem finding her after that. She was right under the tree.
 
That's some good pig-slayin' right there. Nice work.
 
Woo-hoo! What a great night for you!
