Nicely done! What was the distance?

So what do you think of night hunting now?

Way to go! I like that the new Photon shows the aiming reticle on video.

Sorry should have added some details. The feeder is about 90 yards away. He is working his way down a hill towards a 5 gallon bucket of soured corn I laid out on a platter for him. I would say I shot him at about 70 yards.

and I am hooked on hunting at night. Just need some more pigs to show up.

The reticle is nice to have on there. I looked for 20 minutes trying to find the entry hole and never did. But I never looked in his ear hole.

Well that's bc he was to big to put in the truck, the one time I don't take my side by side. Wasn't even sure I could get to him in the truck. I had to drag him about a mile up the road back to camp by his cutters, bc the rope kept slipping off his neck.

Ive learned to take a cheap cam buckle strap put it above the joint on the rear leg. Works well and you can pull multiple hogs with multiple straps.

Nicely done Sir!
I do like the reticle showing on the XT.
I have a Photon 5X on my backup rifle and have used it a few times.
It is kind of annoying during playback because you can't seen the reticle.
Still kills pigs tho!

As for dragging hogs, I keep two 35' 5/8" nylon ropes in the saddle bags on my little Honda 350 4X4.
I can link them together and pull a pig out of some fairly deep places.
I'm surprised it will drag 3 pigs weighing over 450 pounds total pretty easily.


Cheers,

Lawman - Thanks for the info. Amazing the info you can get on here if you ask the right people.

Vern - That sounds exactly like what I was using.
