2 for the Hessian, 0 for Me

[Brian Shaffer]

We both seemed to have shot two hogs, but my hogs appear to have had a greater will to survive than his hogs had.

We had an interesting problem. The Hessian is several inches shorter than me. There are just things he can't see over, such as the oats. I gotta work on getting him on higher ground than me when we go after hogs like this again, LOL.

That Hessian really learned a lot in that long distance class! Good for him on bringing home the bacon.

Nice hunt and video. Two nice pigs down.

What the heck flew out like that? Was that the bullet coming back this way?? Anywhos nice video and commentary!! That looked like a dog with an itchy arse!! Nice going guys!! BANG BANG!!

 

[djones]

perhaps the hessian could stand on angry bird for a better view??

 

[Brian Shaffer]

Ken, that is going to be a wad of tissue flying off the hog the Hessian hit. They don't always come out in a proper linear fashion. I don't think I ever saw this sort of thing before I started using thermal.

dj, AB suggested bringing a box for the Hessian to stand on instead.

The Hessian needs to drag around the first dead pig with him to reach new heights! Good job and sometimes it's nice not to recover any, too much work.

Good video Brian.
I am seeing the same issues with hogs in tall wheat... drilled a single Saturday night.
Saw brief glimpses only of a sounder - no shots available.

Congrats to you and the Hessian on your hunt.

If you wanna see something cool. Get on Google Earth not online but download the App on your computer. Then take a look at your field. Those "Hi-Ways" you speak of are actually very noticeable. Assuming satellite pics are recent.

Good educational video.

Yes, some are. We found many of the holes in the fences based on satellite images showing trails converging on specific points in the fence.

Nice video! I've seen the same paths here in SC.

Awesome hunt just the same. I'd say you made solid hits. That Hessian just seems to be holding his mouth just right last night though. Mmmm... fresh back straps !!!!

We need to pass the hat and buy the Hessian some new hunting boots.

 

[gshock]

Look like hits ... no big deal. Next time!

There's no shame in hunting off a stepladder. Great video Brian, fun to watch as always.

Personally, I am digging the idea that after we kill the first hog, the Hessian uses it as a riser. There is something environmentally-friendly about that idea.

why doesn't he just borrow a pole from his work place?

You forgot to add his new hunting boots to that pic. LOL
