I went back to the place I broke my hand at a few months back. He told me that he had a hog problem. I asked where the hogs were tearing up the most and he directed me to the back corner of the property. This place is real hilly and as I pulled up to the top of the hill I was going to hunt there were about 70 to 80 hogs right in front of me thirty yards out. They paid no attention to the Ranger until I had to set the parking brake to keep it from rolling down hill. The whole sounder took off. This is where the two first's come in.
I was testing and evaluating a new thermal unit for a dealer. I have never shot a hog under thermal. I also was using my 6.8 suppressed. I know I've been using the 5.56. I stepped out of the Ranger as I fired up the thermal. I gave it one bump to 3x and located this boar that had no fled through the fence yet. I sent a 120 SST to his shoulder and down he went. He was 180 long steps and I have long legs. He measured 42". I'm now sold on thermal and the 6.8 for hogs. Thanks Lawman as I know you will give me some grief over my caliber choice in the past.
