Just got back from an Alabama hog hunt with a couple buddies Chris and Bruce from work. Alabama Hog Control just got control to rid this property of hogs, with a night permit. Which for us it meant that besides doing a regular day hunt, we would get to go night hunting with AR's in 308 and FLIR thermal imaging scopes. For those who have never looked at or hunted with one, it's hard to put in words other than "Fu&;%#g Cool". However the terrain was so thick as to be almost impregnable. Friday night Bruce and I nailed a big sow in the road, but 2 bounds and we couldn't find her until morning and then just barely.
Salvage the tenderloins and on to more hunting. Which was tough, muddy, and sooooo much fun. Chris got one our sows piglets the next day. Young tender and tasty. Saturday night Chris and Bruce popped another one with the thermal scopes, but thick brush swallowed it up. As always the camaraderie was real gem. Barry and Bart worked hard for us, even though the hog count didn't quite reflect it. I can't wait to go again
