Okay, the lowdown on the Zombie Hog episode that none of the most astute thermal expert wannabes here was able to detect that the ZOMBIE HOG IS A PROP!
Amazing that absolutely no other thermal expert wannbe even detected this thermal scam?
We had been busy for the previous two weeks before this hunt trying to trap hogs in a half dozen different traps so that we would have a few penned live specimens, after all the hard work all we end up with was everything but hogs....so did not have any live hog targets to use for measuring and comparing thermal performance at specified known distances with the various thermal devices.
I had shot three hogs and could not recover them in the deep brush and it was freezing cold and windy, so after the coyotes attacked one of the boars we did recover, we decided we would prop his recently deceased body up on a convenient log stump and use that to record images from the myriad of different devices we had on hand.
Actually it worked out pretty good and was better than using live wild hog specimens since all the exact distances were known and recorded with each different thermal device.
So, next time you see a suspicious hog in someones thermal videos, it just might be another ZOMBIE HOG!!!
