Met up with some friends in Nocona, TX that have never thermal or night vision hog hunted before. Had only used flashlights prior to that, and were still killing more pigs consistently than me! But we had a blast, they are hooked on thermal now, and we confirmed 24 hogs down in the weekend, which is my personal best for a weekend.
There were some circumsatnces hindering us from getting more pigs (in addition to just flat out missing some shots,lol).
On the one particular HUGE group:
- We should have stalked a little closer prior to shooting (started at about 60yds, probably could have closed the distance another 20yds or so)
- We were conscience of how much ammo we had left, but since that was probably the last hunt of the weekend, we should have shot more.
- there were two thermal 6.8 shooters and one .223 N550 Digisight shooter with an EWT 500HD IR
- Only one suppressed gun.
