Had a great hunt all by my lonesome self last night. Weather was excellent, no wind, light overcast, almost full moon, 50*F.
Went out about 10PM back behind the house and hiked 1 mile down the forest grade and spied a group of hogs deep in the woods rooting around about 250 yards away with the FLIR LS-XR.
Stalked up closer and took a headshot on this boar with the HK/Flir T-70 at 175 yards, DRT.
Entire hunt took about 30 minutes and hiked back home to get the UTV to haul the hog back for processing, perfect meat boar.

A new six foot alligator recently moved into the pond back behind the barn about two weeks ago and has been sunning himself in the middle of the day out there in the open.
I put the offal where he's been sunning himself in front of a game cam to see if I could get some close up pics of him chomping on some boar meat.
Of course, they prefer rancid meat so might have to wait a few days if the Bald Eagles leave anything for him.....

Yes I am, gator season is over now but the ones on the property are legit with a license.
There are a couple of small gator holes with BIG 10-12 foot Bull Gators in them that we stay wide and clear of at night.
During the day, I've seen dozens of cracked cooter turtles shells around their holes and many hogs skulls and carcasses.
One night we were walking home with NV on and I spied two red glowing eyes in the middle of the road up ahead, thinking it was a deer we continued walking until we came up on a 12 footer stretched entirely across the trail with his pearly white mouth wide open hissing.....
