I was surprised when I walked up on him laying dead in the field. He is big for our area.

That's insane. That is a well-fed yote if I ever saw one. Why am I not along with you on these trips again?
Are you still using the 123gr AMAX on these beasts? Excellent post again.

Nice! How big was the hog?
Another smack down - Shivesy - 04-20-2012
I spotted this hog about 400 yds out in this huge open field with my night vision scope. The wind was a crosswind, so I circled around to make sure that I was completely downwind and got to within 50yds. I set up my triggerstick and set my AR15 Grendel up on it. As I picked him back up in my scope his head was down eating. Just as I was about to pull the trigger he lifted his head and looked right at me. There was no moon out and I would think he didn't see me but his movement spooked me just a bit as I squeezed the trigger. The 123gr A-Max hit him in the neck the first time and off he went. No reason to get flustered. One nice thing about the AR, there were 4 more rounds itchin to be launched. I was on an emotional high due to the 2 yotes that I had layed to rest just an hour earlier. So as the hog took off running broadside to my location I shot him in the ass, the third shot hit right behind the shoulder. All in all I unloaded my 5 round clip on him real fast and down he went, 50 yds from where he stood. After inspecting him I noticed that he was hit as follows. 2 neck, 1 ass, 1 shoulder and a lung shot. He was down and kickin for 15 seconds before he died. I didn't see any exit wounds. If I keep this up we are gonna have a buzzard problem.

My 2 boys and their friend harvested 8 pigs about 2 months ago out in west Texas. They said it is some of the best pork they had ever eaten...I'm looking forward to going...

Shivesy,
Great hog and super Yote! Unless you're deceptively small, that's a monster!!!
I've been arguing with myself on some Gen 3 NV gear for some time. A buddy of mine has the same platform on his OBR. It's pics like these that make my wallet lighter!

Thanks... It is a nice yote for this area. I'm 5'10 and 175lbs., it's just big.. The Gen 3 is expensive but worth the extra $$$. I have a Gen 2 plus that I just don't use anymore because the Gen3 is so much nicer. I really am a beliver of the Night Optics D-760. You'll know you made the right choise when you own one of these. Buy one, you won't regret it.

Variable, I don't separate the bacon from the ribs.. Makes for very nice and meaty ribs..

It is too bad some customs forbid eating pork.. They don't know what they are missing <vbg>..
