Have been after this 500 pound boar hog for the last few months.
Last night I ran into him on the road coming home with the FLIR M-324 Pan/Tilt but he ducked into the thick brush before I could get a shot.
Went out looking around for him this morning and found where he had freshly bedded down last night!

Have been after a big 350+ lb boar hog for over a week now and swatted a lot of mosquitoes while waiting for him.
Have seen him a few times but never long enough for a shot.
He has been in some inaccessible swampy areas that I had to take the tractor and build a road out into to be able to get in there.
His hangout has been a large remote sinkhole where he beds down and roots around.
I park my UTV with the FLIR M-324 Pan/Tilt thermal 75 yards out adjacent to the sinkhole and sit and wait for him to show up.
I have been patiently waiting to put a .308 slug though his head with my SIG 716 and IRD MKII 35mm for quite some time now with no luck.
Tonight when I parked at my recently bulldozed trail, he left me a fresh turd right where I park....so I new he was near.
However, he did not show and instead a sounder showed and came down out of the hardwoods which have recently been dropping acorn on down to the sinkhole for some water right 75 yards in front of me at night.
Only managed to kill one, but will work on the kill video through the IRD thermal scope and post that later.....lots of fun tonight all by my lonely self and still have the big boy to hunt too!

Haha, I walk out the door to go check the game cams first thing this morning and lo and behold there is a coyote eating out the [beeep] of my hog I killed the night before 190 yards out.
Head back into the house to get the SIG 716 7.62mm with IRD thermal and one shot puts him down!

550 pounds of pork were personally delivered to the University of Florida Animal Sciences Meat Quality Laboratory today where it is being professionally processed and packaged into 550 pounds of smoked sausages by the undergrad and graduate students in the Meat Quality Laboratory where I used to teach when I was in Veterinary School 35 years ago
