The guys from Silencerco and Afalex1 came down to my place this weekend to do some hog control. Right at the very start we found a lone boar under a feeder. Everyone lined up for the count down and I couldn't help but giggle that poor boar had IR lasers all over him! 3-2-1-fire the thuds from the bullets way overpowered the sound of the shots! First hog down and everyone was all smiles.
Nine hours later we spotted out next two hogs. As we were stalking the boars changed course and headed right for us! There is something about the Silencerco guys the hogs like. Every single time I have hunted with them now the hogs run to us not away from us! With them coming right for us they spread out and took aim while I'm recording the whole thing on the w1000. 3-2-1-fire both hogs drop side by side at the same time. The right one is spinning around spewing blood It was glorious on the thermal! I looked down to review it no dvr it came out in the rush uggh.......
The next night we hunted from sundown to 7am not one single hog spotted. In fact there was not much of anything moving except about 1000 deer and twice that many skunks. They did manage to help me out with the raccoon problem it was great fun standing back listening to the suppressed rifles and the thuds of the bullets striking their targets.
They were all great down to earth guys and it was a pleasure to hunt with them. All of them seemed to have a great time even though we only saw and killed 3 hogs. They are really focusing on how they can help hunters and have some great ideas. I'm still bummed out about the lack of hogs myself but that's hunting I suppose. The weekend before the hogs were everywhere. And the night before I scouted for about a hour and saw almost 20.
A little gun and NV porn for you guys.
