Dave, it is a game camera. I get pics all night long so long as there is animal activity.
Itsazonik,
We drive until we get to about 200 yards from the hogs then we stalk in for the kill. Very little walking takes place in my neck of the woods. However, the windows of the truck are down and the heat is only 1-2 degrees above the outside temp to keep the optics from fogging. Its still a little chilly, but keeps us out of the wind and a lot more mobile.
Well i could set that cam to take every 2-3 min instead of every 30 sec. I looked but never saw a $10-20 plan unless that part is my carrier and since I am an hour from the lease it is not as important.
How long do you think it takes to 'space shuttle' that size hog? See attachment 761 aboveDPMS .308.
Shot was about 40 yards through the woods.
Sow ran approximately 50 yards up hill out of the bottoms and left a huge blood trail...which was helpful given that it was raining.
Managed to die about 10 yards into the middle of a briar patch.
Estimated at a bit less than 100 lbs.
Ken said that after he shot, all the other pigs that he had not seen or heard all took off running at the same time, through the brush and up out of the creek bottom. He attempted to follow them in the direction they went, but never caught sign of them again.
