A little hog action with my relatively new pulsar XP50.
These hogs were rooting in last years peanut field. The farmer told me they will probably have to work up the field again since the rooting is so bad, and he wants them gone.
Just about the time it was getting black dark where I couldn’t see with my binoculars anymore, I saw a group of pigs while scanning with my FLIR Vue from the comfort of my truck.
I could not have had a more perfect approach into a stiff wind, and finally stopped to set up my tripod for the shot when I could faintly make them out by their silhouette about 60-70 yards away.
A moment or two later while searching for the rest of the bunch, I spotted them way down at the bottom of the hill up against the tree line and got two more thanks to the old fashion spray and pray method.
I don’t know if this was really poor hundred yards away or not? But that’s what I’m saying it was in the dark. These turned into 20 pound piglet so the distance could be deceiving
So fast forward to about an hour later, got a guy lined up in town who wants hogs so I did the best I could to get them all recovered.
Really couldn’t drive all the way to them but I can get close enough where I was able to drag most of them to the truck.
The last one I got to was down at the bottom of the hill from the shot about a mile away. I walked all over creation looking for because I didn’t bring my scanner, eventually found it, drug it back, got it loaded up and as soon as I sat down in my truck I looked at the monitor of the still scanning FLIR and this thing coming right towards me.
My truck was running, and the headlights were on, and this big bore was about 50 yards away, closing the gap to my position when I shot him.
Unbelievable.
One of the pigs from the first batch looks like it may have hatched an alien?

Now he's someone else's supper.
