haven’t hunted this place in a while, and it looks like some of them had a chance to grow up. not much to the standing shots, although the wind made it a little tricky for head shots. this first hog has some of the biggest cutters I’ve seen.

yea those are cows in the background, but I was confident the tall wheat would grab anything coming out the other side. plus that’s a half mile circle behind them so the cows are a good ¾ mile away across the tunrow in the next field.

whenever I venture out a little farther than usual it’s not uncommon to get into lighter colored pigs rather than the solid black ones in the old hunting spots.

got into the herd a little later. I had to maneuver a little to avoid the pivot behind them. after the first shot they didn’t know which way to run. therefore I didn’t know which way to shoot. after a few seconds the crosshairs caught up to them and several paid the price for their confusion.

Some good shooting there! I wonder if there are more lighter color hogs in your area or W. Tex since they blend in better with the environment.

Amazing cutters must have a dentist to keep those boys clean.

Great audio! Did you take the video during a tornado?

Seriously, loved the forward roll at the 21 second mark!

That's a trophy set of cutters for sure. Way to go. One advantage to West TX is you don't have to worry about a still night with no wind to keep you from getting busted.

he does look like he just had his teeth cleaned... cause he did :D. i wiped them off with a rag for the pic. they were so big i wanted them to sparkle!!

some wind is nice, but past 25-30 is a bit much.

i didn't notice the splatter until i replayed it. it's pretty cool. not sure, but i think i was expecting to hit the second pig, lol. i'm still learning, but i think there's something different between seeing a doubled image in the thermal display vs 4x in the nv scope that i haven't quite figured out yet.
