I have had a couple of sounders coming in to my feeders in the late afternoon so I hunted early today. I have been setting up close at this plot with a 19mm Mark II scope at night but I switched to a longer range setup with a 35mm Mark II scope.. This rig is an upper I built with an AR Performance Socom profile melonite barrel mounted on a RRA lower.

The sounder was already there when I got to the first feeder so I had to ease out into the middle of a road overlooking the feeder from 165 yards. It was bright daylight and I was trying to get clear of some limbs and not spook the hogs. I could not seem to get my tripod stable but when I got on the big hog on the left I hammered him with a SSA 110 grain Nosler Accubond.



I also tagged this little pig about 45 minutes later on my other feeder from about 40 yards. I was sitting in my hunting cart and he popped out of the woods while it was still daylight. I had my gun laying in the rest and you can see I had to pick it up and lower it back down when he had his head down away from me.

This big boy showed 2 hours after I left. He is strictly nocturnal and will have to go in for a late hunt soon to get him.

Nice, I have shot quite a few hogs during the daytime with my thermal scopes and they work plenty good during the day for me.

Great job, Gman!

You Florida guys better watch out for those skunk apes at night!!!
