Ok Ok so it wasn't 1 hog but 4-100 lbers.
Got a GoPro 3 plus today, spent too much time building a mount for it( 357 barrel cut up and welded, anyway don't ask) it did work. I didn't have time to read the directions so just headed out. Needed an hour or more to stalk into an area to look for bedded pigs. Turned the GoPro on a couple times to practice. I was getting ready to head back towards the truck and figured 100 yds more but that was it, wanted to stalk back to truck before totally dark. A few more yds and saw some movement in the brush...hogs! About 60 yds in tight brush looking at me...I turned on the camera and the :beep beep" didn't scare them off. I raised up, had a black one staring at me, thwap, drt. Spotted one stood there, thwap, down, thwap another down , thwap , wounded one, thwap, running wounded, got off a couple more rounds. Ended up with 3 drt and one runner that got pummeled with 1 too many 223, 64 grs. No camera just phone and Gopro. Got home Gopro is awesome.. hogs are hard to see, so much brush but fun to watch. No idea how to download it to here.phone 4 hogs 014.jpg

I think you need a helmet mount for the cam so you don't keep sweeping yourself with the muzzle...good first video.

I was hoping as you did it the gun would not go off, sacred me! Hey I like the raw footage! How about a shoulder or helmet mount?

The first time I looked at the camera the barrel was pointed off to the side quite a bit and gun was empty , just emptied the clip, so not an issue. When I was standing with the dead hogs it was empty also, I cleaned my clip and the new 30 rd magazine never got put in, you can kind of see I dropped it on the ground. I saw all the hogs were down so I was just trying to get video. But it still looks bad.
