Sometimes when you are out hog hunting you end up with a dog!
Totally pitch black night, no moon or stars, overcast and drizzling.
Had bush-hogged down about two acres of dog fennels that were 8-10 feet high so I could see out 250 yards instead of 50 yards on my stand using the Flir M-324 Pan/Tilt thermal to monitor the area.
A large sounder of hogs showed up and stayed for about 20 minutes but would never come into range, watched them out 350 yards on the thermal from the cockpit of my UTV waiting for them to head my way but it never happened, did not want to just try to blast them as there were six large hogs in the group and am trying to take them out.
Turned on my FoxPro TruckPro E-caller on BayBeeCottontail and let it squeak for about ten minutes and picked up a hot heat signature cranking through the thick woods my way, thought it could be a deer so watched it close in on me. Made it up a hill out a ravine about 50 yards for Pos ID and put a 130 grain Barnes TSX through it's spine at 90 yards...
Had the mini-DVR on recording but forgot to turn on the video output from the MKII again, coyote came in fast and missed getting a video of him, all I got was the audio of the gunshot...
