Congratulations !!..not many people have killed anyway near that amount. I'm only at 702 hogs and thought I'd done pretty good...but you have me beat by a long ways !
Yeah, but I think you are killing them faster than me. And you have done very well. The landowner of that primary property you hunt has to be very pleased with what you have done.
Congratsis in order, but I got baited thinking you had a 1,000# hog.
Some day, if I can get on to some large property that hasn't been hunted in 20 years, then maybe I might just see some hogs over 400 lbs. I have a few in the lower 300-335 range, but that is about as big as I have seen them myself.
Nice!! Cool to go back through your older equipment to current equipment!
Yeah, for the longest time, I was trying all sorts of things. I would have IR blood lights that I would carry in with me and set up before a hunt so that my night vision (Gen II+, Gen I, and digital night vision) would work better. I tried a myriad of IR illuminators and lasers, a couple of which were apparently deemed unsafe for use due to risk of eye damage. I tried motion sensors that I would set up around my feeder area to let me know when hogs were coming in, just in case I fell asleep. Maybe if I would have just purchased a Gen III nightvision sight to start with, I would have been ahead of the game after all the money I spent trying different things the first few years.
