Found a sow and two shoats out in a field with waist high grass I almost missed them but decided to scan with the thermal and just picked out the sows head. I stalked to about 50 yards and they had disappeared in the sea of grass. I was almost about to leave when they reappeared. Again I forgot the shooting sticks at the house but was able to make quick work of them. First was the lead sow she went down DRT, then the first shoat took a 120sst on the run, the final shoat would have escaped but was lost without the sow and stopped allowing me to take out the whole group!

After that I met up with my cousin and we went out using his jeep with a FLIR pathfinder installed we just drove around scanning the fields on his dash mounted monitor it was pretty neat but blinded my pvs-14. We found one loan boar and we took him out with a double tap one 120gr sst from my 6.8 and a 150gr sst from his .308. It was a great weekend! Here is the video below!

Very nice, thanks for posting and linking the vid!

Sorry if I missed it, but what thermal unit are you using there? I'm getting the itch for one and it's only a matter of time before I scratch it:)
