4 hogs get Chicken Fried in Ben Wheeler, TX, Wild Hog Capital of Texas. Tried out Hornady's Full Boar and after these 4 kills, I'm a believer...

Thank you!! I try to make them as quick as possible but 1 minute of video goes by what feels like a few seconds. Also, some people on YouTube don't like my accent apparently.. haha!

You do a good job of describing how hunting in the heavily wooded East Texas is different.
What accent?
Keep em coming.

Is that East Texas German accent I am hearing? Ha!
Well stated on .223 and how you use it.

Great presentation, could understand you very well. I like the 223 or 7.62x39 myself. AR platform.

Haha.. definitely East Texas accent maybe some German mixed in somewhere. I appreciate the positive comment about the .223. AR 15 hog hunters get a bad wrap sometimes. Most people think you have to hunt with the biggest caliber that you can buy. I just don't like hiking for 2 hours carrying a 308...

I like to see good hunting videos as well!
I am not a big fan of .223 for hunting hogs. I have used it and used it quite successfully on hogs (and will again), but it doesn't fit 'my' needs right now. The smaller and less powerful you go, the more precise you need to be. When applied like you are doing, it is doing a great job for you and that is all that matters. People poo-poo it all the time. If you can apply it to your situation and apply well as you are doing, then why not use it? I thought you covered that nicely and had the video documentation to back it. What's not to like?

Thank you. You're absolutely right. In west or north Texas in wide open spaces, I definitely would use a different rifle. Here at home in East Texas, because of the thick woods, all of my shots are very close. My shots are as close as 10 to 50 yards. It makes for an exciting hunt walking through the woods at night by yourself...

Fast paced gregarious society forgets the healing power of solitude. It's worked thousands of years. Casting a line/gazing into a campfire/sitting in a blind after a long week is medicine for the soul. The serenity and peacefulness of it all is majestic.

Thanks for sharing. I use both .223 and .308 for night hunting hogs. Like you said it all depends on how close you can get and how good you are with follow up shots.

Good video!!! A pointer- if you dial down your scope magnification, you will be able to get more shots off and more accurately. Turning up the magnification is great for the first accurate shot, but once things start moving around you need much less magnification. I'll use 1x or 2x on my thermal shots at night. It will help you kill more hogs quicker.
