Last night was my first hunt on a large new property. My hunting time there was limited because I had promised to hunt another farmer's property. Started the hunt at 10:00pm and by midnight there were 19 dead hogs on the ground then got two more on the other property. This place is going to be like the first big ranch I hunted endless hogs for a while until they learn!!!!
These hogs have only been hunted with dogs at night so they had no idea how to react to the night vision and suppressed rifle. It was the dream NV hunt I would shoot one and another hog would come out with no fear. Most were in the 100-150 pound range. Four of the boars were in the 200 pound range but I know there are some big ones there.
Basically the hunt went like this spotted the first lone boar when I opened the gate I stalked up to him and he was DRT. While I was looking at him another boar came out about one hundred yards down. So I stalked to him, he went down DRT. Then a group of four came out about 75 yards past this one. It went on like this for the whole two hours!
The most exciting time of the night for me was I was stalking up on a hog when I heard something behind me. I turned to see a German Shepard running straight at me before I could do anything he jumped up and proceeded to try and lick me to death. Scared the poo out of me!!! And then like that he was gone never to be seen again.
I left my camera in my jacket so the pictures I have aren't that great they are from my phone. I will upload them in a bit.
