I went out Friday night with a group for my first Thermal hog hunt. Double Drop Hunts http://www.doubledrophunts.com I have hunted before with night vision and been fairly successful if hogs were around to shoot at. But this night we were very lucky. We watched from a fence line downwind from a field and a large Oak tree where bait had been put out. At the time I was not feeling overly optimistic because it seemed too open a field. But after waiting for 40 minutes one of the guys whispers that he sees movement. And one after another hogs start coming into the field. There had to be at least 60 70 hogs. We were instructed to shoot on the count of 3. All the guns were suppressed and some had Thermal and others had night vision.
In Short order we had 9 hogs down. This was a rush and I really enjoyed the hunt.

Them hogs dropped due to being stunned happy3

I can see as the smoke is clearing up and pile of meat on the ground. With 60-70 hogs and 9 down you did not put a dent in the population.

Very cool. We spent 3 days near Alice at a friend's ranch with 3 sets of night vision (2x PVS 14's and 1x PVS 7b) with 2x IR lasers and it was the best time I've had hunting. Glad you had a great time....

Glad for his forum too, I wish I would have found it before I went!
