I was after this guy in the Spring but he quit showing up after several failed attempts to get him. I didn’t expect to see him tonight.

Unlike your other videos, you don't see the dead pixels in the latest one.With this Thermion, I've noticed a bit less sensitivity to humidity than my old Trail. Unfortunately, I've blown out about two dozen pixels shooting it...so it will eventually have to go back to Sellmark (next year) for repair work. However, as long as it is working well otherwise I am going to hold onto it until next spring.

My 35 gunner doesn't have much recoil, but I was planning to sight in my noreen semi auto 30-06 with the thermion and am having second thoughts now.

WTF is that? You killed a dog?
Fucker looks like one of my dogs.
You got some ugly dogs dude.Fucker looks like one of my dogs.
Wait, so now Phideaux is the ugly one?You got some ugly dogs dude.
we have a ton of black ones around here.
errywhere!They rioting in your neck of the woods too?
He has the best teeth I’ve gotten so far this year. I’m hoping to simmer the head this weekend.Some pretty good cutters there....
Haha! I still wore them, though it was pretty nice out and I could’ve worn my boots. I was actually a little cold after I got got rained on.Where are you Jerusalem cruisers? That cold front musta changed your primitive ways!
You'll get better results by ordering some beetles....He has the best teeth I’ve gotten so far this year. I’m hoping to simmer the head this weekend.
I get pretty close to beetle results, but with a little more elbow grease and no colony to maintain. I only clean 5or 6 a year, but may go that route at some point.
You definitely kill more than than I do. I should hit #50 for the year in the next couple weeks, I’m sure you’re close to, if not double that.I lost the skull of my big boy for the year (cutter wise) as I'm sure a coyote dragged it off somewhere.
To be honest though, I was a lot more into keeping the skulls when I was only killing a couple dozen hogs per year. It seems like now I have just enough free time to load more ammo.
Once money is involved, the "Problem" will never go away.I'm just happy that this area hasn't got to the point where landowners want to charge me money to shoot hogs on their property. It's apparently getting that way down in some areas of TX now.

I talked a good buddy from the Corps into buying a thermal a year ago. Took him out up here and showed him the learning curve before he went back home to Beaumont TX. He hasn't been out since. Apparently everyone he's spoken with wants money to hunt their land. The landowners are bitching about damage one sentence, and then discussing rates the next. As a former recruiter, I doubt that he's not asked enough people either.
Pardon my language, but fuck 'em...I hope that their properties look like the surface of the moon.
As a landowner and cattleman myself, I understand the risks of letting anyone out on your place. But if someone is willing to accept financial responsibility for their actions I don't see the reason to charge them for the privilege of helping me with my problems.
Yeppers. I hunted a couple of ranches outside San Angelo (Luwake) and one south of Abilene years ago, and they were the same. "You shoot any cattle, you bought'em. But if you're looking to kill some pigs and/or deer, have at it." I miss those days...
Wow! I guess I cannot bitch too much about Alabama...and I do...there is a lot of preaching out of our DNR about how bad hogs are, how much damage in $$$, etc....heck the State has even hired professional hawg killas with our tax dollas...but requires us landowners to request a night permit to hunt our land at night for piggies. Which ends prior to deer season because you know we cannot be trusted not to poach deer at night . I hope they do not discover there is $$$ in charging for those permits!Yep. 20 years ago, I could buy 5 pig tags, OTC, for $8 here in California. Then someone figured out we have 5 species of wild hogs, and people were going after the full house. Last I heard, a single tag was $25 (license is up to $70 for just hunting), and you can only get one tag at a time. Meanwhile, the central valley farmers howl about the destruction. DFG doesn't care; they're all about generating revenue for their tree hugger projects. Fuckers.
I had 30 hogs walk into a clearing 50 yards in front of me this morning, and I managed to get......1 .
