Was that deer or coyotes running way in the background?
They were caught at night and shot at night using NODs, but in a pen.
PVS-31a and high mounted RMR. 300 BO with SIG’s SS hunting round.
I see you've recovered quite nicely from C19.
Is the ammo you used the one with a yellow Palomar tip? Headshots?
One more piglet factory in the dirt. We had a sounder of about 30 come out, and I let my buddy shoot first to give him a better chance at his first pig. He missed, hog fever I guess. I managed to knock one over before they all made it into the trees.

Hahaha! Thanks, I don’t know about tough, I just hate pulling a few cactus thorns out here and there less than I hate sweating all night. I do love my Jesus sandals! Nothin like a nice breeze between your toes while stalking pigs.Anyone who can kill pigs while traipsing around in Jesus sandals is tougher than me. Good job.
let’s change things up a bit. Rat hunting with the thermal is every bit as fun as hog hunting with a fraction of the work.
I hope the videos work. I haven’t tried posting Imgur video uploads before.

That looks like a blast! I see rats run around on the ground all night when I hog hunt. I’m ordering a picatinny rail for one of my MK2s today.let’s change things up a bit. Rat hunting with the thermal is every bit as fun as hog hunting with a fraction of the work.

I’m pretty sure the one that got away was a big black & white boar I’ve been after. We’ve had a good bit of rain in the last week, which seams to get them out of the trees and moving. Makes it harder to get my truck in and out, but I’ll be after him and the rest of his buddies.It's real easy to Monday quarterback yourself after it's all over, but having enough time to get a thorough game plan before the first shot is pretty rare. One down is better than none down...good job.
Sweet baby Jesus I’m jealousI’m working with a local farmer who has been having bad issues with deer destroying crops. He got our permits squared away yesterday and tonight I shall be culling deer. Big wide open fields, deer everywhere. Should be interesting.
Some dumbass (me) went out with half a magazine. The problem was made worse when I whiffed a few times on the piglets.
Not bad! I usually have an M&P on me too, but I have yet to take a hog with it.
Looks fun. Any reason you used a pistol versus a rifle? What distance do you sight in atlet’s change things up a bit. Rat hunting with the thermal is every bit as fun as hog hunting with a fraction of the work.

Pistol was the only thing with a rail I didn’t already have some kind of optic on. It’s nice for tight quarters in the barn.Looks fun. Any reason you used a pistol versus a rifle? What distance do you sight in at
Are you in a have to eat them state or have to leave them lay state?View attachment 7334585View attachment 7334586
Took out 3 more deer last night in a soybean field. Two lay dead circled in red. The top one was first as they were both together at that location. I dropped the top one and the deer pictured at the bottom began to run nearly right toward me. The 2nd one made it about 100 yards in a full tilt run and and I was able to land a shot in the neck, causing it to roll and tumble. Yardage on the RAPTAR was the 1st (top) deer’s location. I shot another one about an hour later just over 400 yards.
Also came across a fat copperhead last night and sent him packing forever.
I have been running the Barnes Vor-Tx 95gr LR 6mmCM load and it is doing a hell of a job.

Lucky if you don’t have to. Everyone wants a deer until it’s time to pick one upI was told so long as the tag stays with it, they could be consumed. I’m trying to verify from 2 other wardens because like any other Agency, if you ask 5 of them you’ll get 5 different answers.

That is 110% the truth. When they say yeah I’ll take one, they are really saying if you dress it out and process it for me. I tell them to bring me a cooler. I’ll quarter it out and put it on ice for them. 98% of folks will not even do that.
They told me I could leave them, eat them, whatever, so long as the deer was tagged. This farmer and his family own a lot of land and hate hogs and he hates deer. It is like a little piece of heaven.

I’m working on it. I hope to have something working by the end of next week. I once owned one of the Torre Pines units but it was not ideal. Wouldn’t have worked with my scope anyhow.
