Jumped another sow while walking down a forest jeep trail tonight, she was in the thick woods rooting up some acorns in a hardwood hammock, one shot right below the ear with the FLIR T-50 and Barnes 70 grain TSX and she fell over dead right there.

Game cam Pic earlier this week:
Well, perseverance off! I have been after this dog all week now....
Was out with my FoxPro Prairie Blaster playing CowTip Cottontail @ 10:15PM and 30 seconds after I turned on the caller this nice furry 'yote came charging in out of the deep woods.
Picked his thermal image up with the FLIR PS 32 and turned on the FLIR T-50 and shot him once through the heart @ 150 yards with a handloaded Barnes 70gr. TSX.

Bagged another nice meat hog with the FLIR T-50 Thermal last night.
We had hiked through the woods about 3 miles or so with plenty of sign on a 1/4 Moon with no clouds and total stars out, the PVS-14s did a great job of allowing us to roam around in the moonlight underneath a hardwood hammock canopy.
Picked up this meat hog with the PVS-14 about 150 feet off the trail and my friend (SpeedQuest) would have to transition his PVS-14 from his helmet to behind his NV Eotech so I gave him my rifle and told him to take it out with the FLIP T50.
One handloaded Barnes 70gr TSX through the neck spine and he did not even twitch, DRT!

Again, nice work out there, and excellent photo's.
I'm going out next weekend, Saturday and Sunday. Hopefully I'll have some pic's.

Good luck and have a safe hunt.Originally Posted by Hot Holster
I am really enjoying the DBAL-D2 with the IR laser and IR Illuminator for super fast targeting and shooting with the FLIR thermal for backup and/or longer range targeting, performs like a dream!

Nice job! Fat little pigs that weigh about 40# like that one are my favorite size to shoot to eat.Bagged another nice meat hog with the FLIR T-50 Thermal last night.
Backstraps are perfect in a skillet with eggs for breakfast and the hams and shoulders are ideal on the grill. Also easy to skin & bone out.
That is the first size I shoot at when meat hunting. Also good for honing fast response shooting skills with an AR15, occasionally I can kill two out of the bunch.
I appreciate the PM you sent sharing your load data for the Barnes 70g TSX, I plan to load some this evening.

I loaded up another 100 Barnes TSX 70grain in LC '09 brass with Wolf SRM primers and 25.0 grains of Hodgdon BLC-2 last weekend.
I only use them for hunting and have gone through another 100 this summer, hopefully this 100 will last me through the end of the year but I kinda doubt it....
