GREATEST HITS of 2019 (Thermal Hog Hunting) | Horn Swamp Hunting

(GIANT HOG CHARGES right by me in the last clip - watch till the end!)
We removed hundreds of invasive wild hogs from south Alabama in 2019 while night hunting with Pulsar thermal scopes and ARs. Here is a collection of the very best thermal hog (and coyote) hunting clips of the year - our Christmas present to you.
Let me know what you think in the comments!
GUN: AR-15 (Caliber 6.5 Grendel)
SCOPE: Pulsar Trail XP50
AMMO: 6.5 Grendel Wolf 100 Grain Fmj
OUR MISSION:
We work to beat back the invasion of feral hogs into southern Alabama. Hogs are widely considered to be the most destructive invasive species in America. These invasive creatures destroy the land, eat crops, and endanger the survival of native species. While our method may never fully eradicate the population of wild hogs in the area, it can prevent further increase of populations and thus reduce the negative effects caused by them.

I think you need a little more practice shooting them on the run.

[@reducecotwo]

So this is why people need assault weapons.

[@somerandombaldguy5296]

Usually I like seeing one-shot kills, but with these vermin, take two or three. As long as they're immobilized and you can give them a finishing shot later, mission accomplished. Good work!

[@_fiend]

Some Random Bald Guy I’ve come to the same opinion, it’s not the goal to cause unnecessary pain, but you can’t be perfect.

[@Tejaye777]

Feral hogs are wonderful animals, are such an asset for humans. Happy to see you are promoting these beautiful animals and giving them such an important and dignified spot on your channel.

[@jimmyboss8302]

This is definitely on my bucket list of things to do. Great video and amazing shots!

[@tomblount5635]

Wow I would have figured that the grendel would have laid them out more, just a suggestion, put your point of aim ahead of the hog where can see where its going. Your kill shots will go way up. Have fun and good work. Roll Tide

[@johnfriend862]

Great video, you can really see the damage they do as the dirt flies while they're rooting around. A couple of those porkers looked like they were trying to dig to China. The carnage they wreak on crops is devastating, I don't think most people realize what kind of damage wild hogs can do.

[@hornswamp]

Yes, they will wreck fields in a matter of days! Plus, they endanger native wildlife, spread disease, and cause other problems.

[@dmhiggins4457]

Would you take the friggin shot! It's not a beer can, it's going to move.

[@barttraynor1220]

Excellent footage! Job well done! Thank you for the great entertainment!

[@michaelbuss5731]

Hogs flopping and a twitching hosing down the area!!

[@sat20387]

0:20 is a twofer .. the round went through the hog in the front and killed the one behind him allowing for a easier second hit on the first one.

[@jimnorthland2903]

Man If I could sell my business for a tidy sum, this would definitely be on my bucket list.

[@petercarmeci8317]

Dude.. Awesome vid!!!!

[@simeon2851]

I'll burn this onto a CD and listen to it on my way to work.

[@user-qi3tr4jz4g]

This channel very interesting!!! Good, Good, Good 👍👍👍

[@hornswamp]

Thanks for watching!

[@christzaffary4304]

Nicely done.

[@rightmarker1]

Jeez mate - what ammo are you using? Those hogs just drop dead 😁. Great shooting skills.

[@hornswamp]

Thanks! We use 6.5 Grendel Wolf fmj (full metal jacket) 100 grain. It’s some powerful stuff!

[@RyogaVee]

Not that last one. Pumped 5 into him and that sum bitch shrugged it off.

[@rightmarker1]

Ryoga Vee - ‘shrugged it off’ 😆. They’re tough bastards.

[@hornswamp]

@@RyogaVee Yeah, that last hog was a tough one. He could withstand about anything we threw at him! (or shot at him)

[@hornswamp]

@@rightmarker1 Yes indeed!

[@kpd3308]

What do you do with the carcasses?

[@joeanthony9162]

That was awesome!!

[@winterwolf7696]

awesome footage and I keep pulling the trigger on my phone gun .nice shooting on the run fun!

[@hornswamp]

Thanks! And remember to never dry fire your phone - it's bad for the battery.

[@claymac7895]

1:31 that deer just watches that pig get wasted

[@ericwalker6402]

Just standing there like.... a deer caught in the headlights

[@naegwut]

Good stuff!

[@cr500mike]

Sent a bunch to hog heaven !!

[@321minder]

No, to the pan. Little oil and some pepper, mmm!.

[@way1234ne]

What caliber weapon and ammo are you shooting? XP 50 scope?

[@hornswamp]

Gun: AR-15 6.5 Grendel Scope: Pulsar Trail XP50 Thanks for asking! I forgot to put it in the description.

[@liddell157]

Horn Swamp Hunting what are your thoughts on 6.5 Grendel ? I am looking at getting one just didn’t know anyone who has had personal experience with it . Also who makes yours ?

[@darrellpeak2914]

Horn Swamp Hunting What can are you using?

[@hornswamp]

That’s a Silencer Co Omega.

[@hornswamp]

Sorry for late reply. We love the 6.5 Grendel. It’s a great round. It shoots fast and kills well. We shoot 100 grain full metal jacket wolf ammo. It’s very economical considering we shoot a few thousand rounds a year. Our guns are custom made by a local guy.

[@ErickaC-mc7vg]

Nice video. Can't wait until deer season is over, finally got larger groups of hogs coming in here outside of Ft. Worth , Tx.

[@hornswamp]

Thanks! Good luck to you on any of your hunts.

[@philschuler9674]

Nice video...I wish we had a hog problem around here.

[@hornswamp]

Thanks for watching! But remember.... be careful what you wish for!

[@drew65sep]

Oh, hell no...you don't want a feral hog problem. I get what you're trying to say, but you don't want that.

[@Jesuscatshockey]

Now that warms my soul on this cold CA December day. See the one about 1/3 into video that bucks & jumps then hauls ass. B4 going into afterlife. Then at the end there's the fatty who soaks up rounds while running until it self destructs. Love the meat sprays on the through and through shots. But missed squealing sounds. Lovely video. Pigs were just dying to be part of the fun. Christmas cheer!! To all! Go SDSU football & basketball!!

[@hornswamp]

Thanks for watching!

[@Jesuscatshockey]

Hogs in AL seem to be larger or at least fatter than those in TX. Am I imagining this? Or do they practically look back & laugh when shot?

[@hornswamp]

Hogs here and in Texas are probably about the same size. The difference between the hogs you see in our videos and hogs in Texas may just be distance. Depth perception isn’t very good through these scopes.

[@mikehamilton1163]

Which gun and caliber ammo are you using? Great video.

[@hornswamp]

Thanks! We use AR-15s, and 6.5 Grendel Wolf 100 grain fmj for ammo.

[@robertl.clayton7645]

That's some ass kikin equipment.nice work.

[@ThermalFeed]

Great shooting!

[@hornswamp]

Thanks!

[@23KCOutdoors]

Good Stuff!!

[@hornswamp]

Thanks!

[@TheBenjamess]

Just curious what caliber is being used on these?

[@hornswamp]

6.5 Grendel

[@doncappo1509]

I’m waiting for PlayStation or Xbox to come out with the VIDEO GAME VERSION

[@rogue.ganker]

Need to do a good comp of just Texas heart shots lol

[@hornswamp]

I can’t promise any Texas heart shots, but I bet I could put together a pretty good compilation of Alabama heart shots.Thanks for the idea! Subscribe if you aren’t already so you won’t miss it!

[@bamafanforlife7837]

@@hornswampWhere are you at in Alabama? I wouldn't mind getting in on the action.

[@dougrush5710]

4:08 Stanky Leg!

[@alphaharshet8645]

Which Calibre is been used ..?recoil is like .22lr

[@hornswamp]

We use 6.5 Grendel caliber.

[@salvadortejeda2502]

That last one wasn't going down for 💩

[@bamafanforlife7837]

For sure, I think I counted five shots. That must have been a monster hog.

[@jjcharlstonisaac6222]

Super 😳

[@Sflet]

What caliber rifle are you using

[@hornswamp]

AR15 6.5 Grendel

This is call shooter mate

Nice shooting tex I'm a fan I've subscribed show me more videos

[@hornswamp]

Thanks we’ll have new videos coming out very soon!

[@wancobain4745]

Don't make me wait to see u pull the trigers.... bro

[@Oomuu]

He sees the little group of piglets hiding and just stares at them for a second then starts unloading on them

[@drew65sep]

Yeah, and?

[@edinmiami5909]

Do people eat these feral pigs?

[@underdawg5355]

Good shooting.

[@NN-lx4mb]

My pet peeve is when they get away. I would use an automatic gun and spray them all. Is it safe to eat feral hogs? I have read both sides, yes and no. I thought it was not safe due to worms and other diseases they carry. Thanks

[@rmcl7583]

SWEET HOME ALABAMA!

[@hornswamp]

Absolutely!

[@chevy427ify]

Get'er done,,

[@hornswamp]

Thanks! Sure will!

[@doncappo1509]

Can’t get enough of this shit👍

[@bryanst.martin7134]

People might squawk over the "wanton" shooting of these creatures. While the shelves are becoming more bare for our foods, these vermin are devastating crops intended for people and eating the only crops surviving the weather. There is little grain left in storage, and the weather promises to only get worse. And while I don't eat them anymore, the Chinese are begging for them. Sold!

[@evangaustad4289]

Tell me that was good bacon!

[@hornswamp]

It was good bacon! 😎

[@BeFaithful00]

I get serious anxiety when it looks like the shot is line up but the round isn’t sent. Ear hole the sucker already!

[@fredeb67]

9:08, loosing a peek-a boo.

[@Tjrissi96]

Oof, check out that blood splatter of the pig at the bottom left at 3:27.

[@egbolt]

you might need to go to expanding bullet

[@tremaynecrawford2193]

My late father was born lone Star State of Texas so he's not here so im going to my uncle house and go wild boar hunting

[@tshuvahavodah237]

Wild hogs to a fam field are as bed bugs are to a mattress.

[@dumnylach]

Is it possible to erradicate them completely. I know that first immigrants almost wiped out native bisons using weapons which werent so efficent like right now.

[@fredeb67]

Deer at 1:29 thinking WTF.

[@hornswamp]

So right!

[@mattdurec2718]

you need to finish them before moving on to the next!!! suffering is not cool even if youre having fun

[@mattdurec2718]

Deplorable Centrist I agree if you’re referring to shooting terrorist! But if you slow your shots down and remember the ones that you cant get to because you assuring instant kill shots get away they will always be back!! Making an animal suffer is NEVER GOOD! Even if it a nuisance animal! Be a true sportsman! And remember that! Prey and spay is only for war or when you’re saving your life

[@WJack97224]

Do live feral pigs eat off the carcasses of dead feral pigs? Thanks for the posting. Good on ya mate.

[@hornswamp]

No, they won’t touch the carcasses of other dead hogs. Meat is not on the menu for the pigs.

[@tomharrell1954]

I enjoy the summer salts best! Is there anyway you could donate the meat to charity. Get some people to help clean an gut ?

[@hornswamp]

We donate all we can but you won’t find anyone willing to clean hogs for fun.

[@tomharrell1954]

Horn Swamp Hunting THANK YOU! I do realize these animals are a pest and cause damage. I am a hunter too so that’s fine. But it really causes grief when so many people could benefit from this pork! Thanks for the those that you find a table!

[@ollievw3450]

When targeting a sounder of boars would you please stay with an individual boar until it is properly down. I know they are pests, but they are still animals. I have noticed lots getting hit, after which you focus on a different animal and the hit boar continues running. This not right. For the rest keep up the good work. I wish we could use the tools you employ.

[@mixertv3113]

You shot wild boars in the asss, damn you! This is barbarian and fucking unhumanity

[@hornswamp]

We shoot em anywhere we can. If they were destroying your property and livelihood you would be too.

[@keithsmith1869]

Did you realize you shot a white tail doe at frame 2:23?

[@hornswamp]

No, that was a coyote. Although I can see why you may have thought that was a deer, when the coyote was running.

[@keithsmith1869]

Ok, had me concerned. Thanks for the reply.

[@shauncook21]

I was thinking the same thing......glad it was just a yote.

[@Bobby-ld9rg]

wares my 44 marlin

[@hakimcameldriver]

Need better marksmanship. Too many hit and run away to suffer.

[@joshuaearnheart2756]

David H marksmanship isn’t the problem. Hogs are TOUGH. Maybe the full metal jacket choice of ammo should be reconsidered but they were good shots. I’ve shot them 15 yards and closer with 150 grain Remington core lokt 30-06 and they still run 100 yards with gelatin for organs

[@kingmike5884]

It's also harder when there running

[@GaryLordsWayMinistry]

Hope something constructive is done with all the meat.

[@russellsoloway8078]

Worst shot ever. He never got more than one per group.

[@rammerjammer523]

Exactly...doesnt hit but 25% of pigs when they're running a straight line..and this is edited video.

[@winterwolf7696]

fire up the smoker!

[@Bobby-ld9rg]

i should of retired Texas

[@johnwurst6691]

Shit, you're a bad shot...

[@jamesjames3525]

Some inaccurate shooting in this video partner!

[@hornswamp]

We show it all. Some of our guests do better than others.

[@you166mhz]

this guy can't hit a moving target ...

[@hornswamp]

We killed about 800 last year. Some moving. Some not.

[@claymac7895]

Just because they don’t drop doesn’t mean they aren’t getting hit. Lots of those hogs take 3-5 bullets to go down.

[@jaywinters2483]

Dude!... I think you’re a good shot & deserve credit for that. Here’s what is the rest of what I think: Once you hit one,... move on! Don’t keep throwing wasting shots at it. YOUR GOAL IS TO KILL as many as possible-screw politiycy correctness. Clottectionesd. Means nothing Political Clttectionessb

[@davidshanlay]

It is cruel to not kill the hogs still alive but wounded. Make it quick to not suffer.

[@troyclark100]

Missing more than you hit? If you wound one just kill the damn thing instead of shooting another one! Practice on the wounded ones that are still running instead of wounding 10 or more just for them to come back and get wounded again!
