I was on my way home from another hunt and decided to swing by and check this hay field. I scanned it with my thermal and spotted several hogs about 500 yards away in the far corner and the wind direction was good so I went after them.
I dropped my electric cart off of the trailer and drove in the dark using my thermal scanner to get to the hogs. I eased along real slow and drove to about 60 yards from them and stopped. I was going to get out and stalk a little closer and realized I had left my tripod in the truck.
I decided to use the shooting rest in my electric cart since I figured the hogs would head for the thick stuff behind them and I would be in position to shoot.
Well....that plan went out the window after the first shot. The hogs turned toward me and I was all over the place trying to swing my rifle in the rest and slide across the seat to stay on them. I also had a top brace that was in the way as I swung to my right. You can see in the vid it was kind of a cluster trying to shoot that way and I finally had to lift the gun up and over and shoot free hand. It wasn't pretty but the hogs are dead......
