Thanks for the great info, as one with zero experience either hog hunting or with thermal sights your posts help out a lot.
In answer to my question you posted:
"In response to your opening statement, hog hunting is improving my skills, but because it has been fairly regular over the last few months. Good repetition makes for good skill development. If things trail off, my skills will trail off a bit as well. I really don't have a place or action targets to practice how I hunt outside of hunting."
That hit the nail on the head, I can't think of a better way to improve hunting/shooting skills that to do what you do when hog hunting. You get to practice lead shooting on moving target that move at different speeds and directions while dealing with the adrenaline and stress while multi tasking. (when to shoot or not shoot due to cattle or buildings in direction of fire).
I can't think of a way to simulate what you are doing by going to a range, not many have moving targets for rifle shooting.
Keep the vids coming, really enjoy them.
