29 Hours of hunting...

Yes, you read that right. I've spent a cumulative 29 hours, spanning several weeks, trying to land one particular boar. Got winded by him twice, once at 16 yards. He rarely came in before midnight so hunting him was a beating. Last night, on the 5th hour in, he strolls in from the north. I poked him with a 120 SST @ 49 yards. He taped out to a young & healthy 210lbs. Love that God answers even the smallest prayers!

*Note the last known photo with my Photon's IR beaming at him :D

ssshhh Brian, don't tell the boys over at the Grendel forums that I'm running the 6.8 as my dedicated night gun. Got some 95gr TTSX's that I'll break out soon.

Still running the 6.5G for my day gun and plenty of Barnes to boot! :D

Very nice. It's sure rewarding when you finally catch up to one you've hunted that hard.

Way to go. You have way more perseverance than I do. I couldn't even hang physically.

Yep. The post kill celebration was one to remember, after many LONG hours sitting in the dark, many on workdays no less!
