Went down to Nacogdoches a couple months back to help a buddy with his pig problem. I shot two crankers the first night- 272 lbs and 223 lbs. I shot another small boar the 2nd night that weighed 138 lbs. First time using the Ruger SFAR .308 suppressed with a SilencerCo Omega can (which is not the gun I'm holding in the pics). I'm running a day/night vision scope and using a thermal scanner that connects via USB to my phone. Budget setup, but happy with it for my needs. The thermal image is better than what you see in the video. The file size was compressed to upload.

ol' dad

That’s awesome… once you switch to thermal it’s hard to go back to the day/night scopes.
Hardest part down here is getting permission… every one hates pigs, but don’t want you to hunt them unless you want to pay.
How do you like the omega can? Are you using the 300dt or the 36m?

First year for serious concern for wild hogs in Ohio really just this year. I might need a new setup.

… Biggins…. You intend to eat them boar hogs ?

…. I asked a question and expect an answer

… you understand me ?
