    Default Five more hogs and three corn thieves down.

    Started out with a pretty large boar in fact I thought he was a calf. By the time I figured out it was a boar he busted me and got away. I waited an hour and went back to find a sounder of seven. Three shots and three DRT's a 140lb sow and two 80ish lb boars. Then found a lone boar in some high grass he didn't look that big but he ended up 200lbs. Then went to check a feeder and there were three corn thieves under it 60 yards from the hip with the laser pop pop pop no more corn thieves! I went by picked up my wife's cousin he wanted to compare 1st gen NV to the 3rd gen and to check out the 6.8 he shoots a 30-06. We ended up finding a boar by a dry creek bed I gave him the rifle and I watched through the thermal. Pop and the boar ran about fourty yards and dropped. He shot him behind the shoulder that was the only non DRT of the weekend. All 120sst's


    This is all I have from the second night I just dint think to take pictures most of the hogs were smallish this one is the 200lb boar her cousin shot. And the three corn thieves.

    I barely have enough signal to type this right now when I get to civilization I will post some pics. Didn't take many though as the hogs were nothing special.

    I see pictures of dead animals every day but those corn thieves look REALLY dead. No ambiguity.
