A few days later about 15 feet from where I shot this boar.
What is that battery pack setup on your Zeus?
This boar came in about 8:40 Sat night. He hadn't set off the motion detectors yet. I happen to spot him when I went to get a rifle off the front porch and was scanning with thermal when I went out. He taped at 220# and looks to have been cut as a piglet. Had a notched ear and one ear cut smaller than the other. Never saw the cut down ear before.
Walked down to within 45 yards and shot him with a 6.8/120gr SST. 16" ARP I built with a IR Hunter MK3 35 on it. Dropped like a rock.
It wasn't the sounder I was looking for but a dead pig anyway.
Any idea what the point of cutting the ears off completely? Are the hogs with no ears cut? I have heard they notch the ear to know they have been cut and you can see it in a scope (before thermal). But cut off completely??I killed one that had no ears at all...crazy. unfortunately I have to deal with a lot of lowlife around here releasing hogs nearby to charge people to hunt 'em. About half of all the decent-size kills on my ranch have hogs with cut ears. Shit-heads. Photo is from the following morning on a 175lb boar.

More work travel than I like for this time of year, so not getting out as much as I usually do. Big girl from a couple weeks ago. 1 55gr SP from my 12" sbr w/ XP38 behind the ear. DRT View attachment 7188657
Wow! 55gr sp from sbr on this size pig is a testament to shot placement being key.
Very nice{ were you shooting off a bipod or just up against a tree? For my application that's a tough shot. Shooting on the move is challenging.First time being able to post here, third time out night calling and first night out since getting my used reap Ir and the wind not blowing 30-60 MPH. I mounted it on my AT in Mpa chassis for now running a 21” 260 with prime ammo. Thunderbeast ultra 9 for suppressor. Rifle isn’t my long term plan but was my shortest lightest option for now. My buddy has a 224 Valkyrie and a trail xp38.
Started at 8:45 and saw two coyotes that responded to call but wouldn’t pursue it. Moved to a new location and didn’t see anything but started to get a lot of howling back at us.
Third location. I howled a few times with mouth call and in a few minutes had a single come in but couldn’t get a clear shot due to a small ridge between us, could just see his head bobbing. Within 2-3 minutes two others joined him and the pack of 3 milled around and barked and howled but never came within comfortable range to get more than one decent shot. After they moved off west another single came in on a dead run and made it to the same little ridge and went East never slowed down for a clean shot. While my buddy watched that one running East I was watching another single come from north and he was hanging up in similar location to where the 3 had. Finally after a couple minutes of hanging up I took a long shot estimated 250-275 yards and he dropped. Tough bastard though, he started trying to get up and work down the hill so I shot again and took out back legs and once he stopped trying to run I anchored him with a head shot. There was another single a quarter mile to the north that I think we could have gotten in but after follow up shots he spooked off.
first shot looks to have been through the rib cage, second one took out back wheels and I didn’t flip him over to take a picture of his head from third shot.
We ended up seeing 8 total coyotes in 2 hours of calling. Saw another set on my way home I pulled over and scanned an area. Just need to get in deeper to areas when loud crunchy snow is gone for shorter shots.View attachment 7194131
