There’s a large sounder in an irrigated soybean field last night. Beans are about knee high and we are driving to get closer to them into a stiff wind. We’re confident they will not hear us approach.

Problem is there is a lone boar by itself and the rest of the hogs are essentially in one large group another 250 yards upwind of that one.

We decided that because we had such a nice wind to shoot the first hog with my 9mm carbine to avoid spooking the rest of the hogs.

The scope currently on my 9mm rifle currently has no way to video, but you can imagine a 147 grain hollow point to the head might result in a quick trip to the ground.

It did and that one went down like a hammer and the rest of the hogs only moved slightly from the shot and commotion. The plan worked.

A short walk back to the truck to switch out rifles back to my 308 for the larger group.

My first thre shots in video were all hits. I watched the video several times and think I saw four more go down during the melee. I didn’t hear a bullet hit every time I pulled the trigger but there were a lot of audIble hits last night.

I was running through my hog route tonight and I spotted some hogs coming out of a standing corn field headed towards the ditch to get some water.

I let a couple of them have it.

[Wildfowler]

Got some fresh damage in standing corn and a heavy rain provided some action last night.

We wound up patrolling this same area a time or two and killed a total of four with these three being memorialized on film.

The first episode is me filming my buddy shooting two hogs while standing behind him with my Flir Breach.

Then lastly, me shooting a lone boar in the same ditch as I shot two hogs in earlier this week.

I spotted some hogs in a Turnrow alongside a Cottonfield last night. Two of them had found something in the road that was very enticing to them and they were rolling in it. Maybe it was some spilled fuel or leaked out hydraulic fluid or who knows what?

Regrettably I did not connect with the second one rolling but did get a total of three, including chasing one of them down through the Cottonfield.

It looks like someone needs some practice shooting with his pistol shooting in the dark??

Hahahaha

So after Concluding this portion of the adventure, located just around the bend was the worlds smallest coyote. I’ve never shot a coyote puppy before and I had no idea this thing was this small. I’ve always said that thermal does not always give you proper depth and scale and was very surprised to see a coyote the size of my size 13 shoe. Yikes.

I would imagine it is pretty hard to shoot a pistol at night with thermal gear. It looks like the suppressor pretty much covers up the sights to me. Also, do you catch any grief from the yuppie crowd on Youtube for these videos? I expect some of them view the coup de grace to be a little much. I say kill them all.

Well done sir.
I catch myself watching your in rifle footage and wanting to pull the rifle to a shot I think I can make. It's quite involving. I like it.
