Hog hunting with my son Texas style...

[Shadow rider]

11:30pm Friday night under a brilliant full moon. Both of us using suppressed 7.62 ARs with thermal scopes.We counted to three and both shot, he was about 80 yards out and all by himself. One hit just above the eye into the brain pan and the other just forward of the shoulder directly int the kill zone! He dropped like a sack of potatoes right where he stood! What a blast. We stayed out until 4am and only shot 2 boar hogs. Apparently they are very wary on full moonlit nights. The second one (on the truck rack) was chasing a sow with 4 piglets but they spooked when we shot the boar.
The big one had 3.5" cutters and I would guess weighed in around 300lbs. It would have made a great mount (but for lack of funds and the flight back to NY)! The second one was maybe 150 lbs.

How was the outfit and any link to thier services. Me and my marine buddies want to do a group hunt but some are strapped for cash. So I've been pushing this style of hunt for a while.

Reel Rush Charters - Texas Coast Hunting and Fishing Charter

They are about half way between Galveston and Corpus Christie TX.
Easy going, laid back guy owns the place and has a friend that helps out on the hog hunts when there is more than a couple hunters going. He told us he had access to 75,000 acres of land! He goes out prior to the hunt and lays out a bunch of corn. We were basically driving around the farm fields rifles out the truck windows (after all it is Texas) and spotting with the thermals. When spotted you get out and stalk as close as you feel you can without spooking them and let the games begin! If you do one like this, just don't plan it on a full moon! The darker the better according to the Man. We had no choice, my time was limited! All the guns and ammo and night vision (thermals) are supplied but you can use your own firepower if you want to. They use 7.62x39 ARs (suppressed).

Sounds like a freaking blast.

He's at it again! My son and his boss went out last night and bagged these 2. They are on land owned by a friend of his boss who will not let anyone hunt on his property other than a few people expressly to kill pigs (free of charge). That's a SCAR with a thermal sight and suppressor.
