Ain't that the truth!?!
Sometimes on a really dark night I'll go looking for a hog, traipsing back and forth so much that I have to use my thermal monocular the find my way back to my vehicle!
Anyone else sick the day after all-night hog hunt?

copy. I really don't wanna bitch. I choose to go out in the black with thermals and stalk critters.
I appreciate the feedback from everyone. Fo real.

Ha, I'll just tell you this right quick. The other night I was on a new property that I've never seen in daylight, very hilly, was stalking down a steep hill hoping to put a hurt on a sounder at the bottom of hill next to wood line. I suddenly heard that sickening low grunt/snort. Froze. Swung slowly to the right in optic and ... hey, guess what...a group of hogs was right on my ear. Maybe 20 yrds. Big grass in Texas, as you all know.
And then (the best part) all the cows started stampeding right toward me. Not that many, but there were bulls and new moms, etc. 55-60 head maybe? And I had no idea how to get back to the truck. Hilarious!
Hilarious when you make it back to safety, not so much when you are staring down a thundering herd.

No shite. It took about an hour of sitting in the bed of the truck in moonlight before the clenchy chest went away.
