Just stole my first soul with the shotgun and thermal setup and he ain’t no little boar either. I’ll post better pics and chest measurement in a bit.  Awesome. Great hog. I’m going 190 on weight. Let us know what he ends up taping out

Thermal Shotgun strikes again. This was one seriously tough sow. First slug hit her in the shoulder and she went down, I watched her for about a minute and she didn’t move. I began walking towards her and got about 30 ft away and heard a gasping sound and I shined my white light on her. She was still laying on her side so I was just gonna give her a minute or so to expire and then she jumps up and runs right past me. I turned the thermal on squired target and fired but hit her high and it just skimmed her back. I then took off after her, I would run 30 or so yards the. Find her in my thermal but couldn’t get a shot. After doing this a couple times I finally got an opening and hit her again this time by the back hip taking her down. This time I gave her plenty time to die lol. When I inspected her the first shot was slightly high but in the shoulder and I was very surprised she got up from it.

1st shot pass through? What kind of expansion and penetration are you getting with those slugs?

On most the average size hogs if I hit lungs I get pass through and they drop dead the bigger ones I usually hit in the shoulder and anchor them but no pass through. I need to cut one open one of these days and try to recover a slug.

The thermal only uses one slot? Seems to be not much to hold the heavy night scope against recoil. I would make sure the scope is tight against the front shoulder of the slot for sure.

What kind of slugs are you using? Assume rifled barrel? Thought about converting my benelli 20, to a rifled barrel and doing same thing . Never actually looked at numbers, but assume that’s a ton of energy hitting the upper shoulder .
