Night Vision Shot through a small tree to take a 220 pound boar with the 6.8

[TEXASLAWMAN]

I took this boar with the Six8 razorback he was alone and working his way along a fence line rooting as he went. He was slightly angled towards me but facing away with a small tree covering part of his neck and head. While waiting for him to turn broadside the idea of shooting through the small tree just to see what the 6.8 120 grain SST would do. So I took aim on the tree and shot. The boar went down DRT, I really thought he was a little larger but was still a respectable 220 pounds.

Slaying them bother, just saw your hog counter, that's awesome.

How much do you think the round was deflected from your POA to POI with that tree strike, if you think it did at all? I'm guessing not much at the shorter distance, but still I wonder.

Nice hog.

It did not deflect enough for me to tell. Now the entrance wound was a little bigger than normal but that was to be expected.

Yes I should have killed the coyotes but I was hoping to see more hogs.

I noticed that the hog kind of had a halo or aura around him. Is that a normal occurrence with your thermal?

Yes it is normal but you can make it go away by adjusting the contrast knob.
