a little windy

[djones]

these hogs never settled down. we had to change our approach several times. the field was recently plowed and rows were deep. lots of trouble walking through. finally we decided to just stay still for a while and sure enough they eventually got close to us. wind was 25 to 35 mph with gusts that felt over 100!

we both made good first shots but there’s just something about shooting next to a world champion. I can’t help but feel a sense of urgency because I know he’s trying to kill more hogs than me. instead of slipping into the zone I rushed several shots and hit high. i just couldn’t seem to find the mark until most of them got away. in my defense, when I started to turn to keep up with the runners, the rows made for extremely difficult footing. factor in the wind and it was hard to even hold steady on the ones just standing still.

Lots of shooting going on, had to be fun! That wind was wild!

You finally obliterated that last one you were shooting at. It completely disappeared from the screen. Did it disintegrate faster than your thermal could record. Haha!!

Seriously, good job there!!!

Congrats, nice pile of hogs there. Wind can sure be crazy stuff.

Great video and good shooting! Watching how the rifle\ camera reacts to each recoil sure makes me glad I chose the 6.8!

the far hog slipped down in the rows at the edge of the circle, where they are horizontal to me. easy to find once i got over there though.

hunting bud likes his face blurred as a programmed response from when he was a hall monitor and active in the glee club.

the recoil looks worse than it is, but is does look pretty bad. i may switch back to a heaver steel can and see if there's a difference.

i will say one thing for the zeus... i spotted a hot spot several hundred yards into the field and thought it was a baby hog. we got right up to it to discover a fresh pile of pig poop. pretty impressive heat signature detection if you ask me.
