KILLSHOTS ONLY (Thermal Hog Hunting) | Pulsar Trail XP50 | Thermal Thursday Ep. 2

36 shots fired, 36 FERAL HOGS DOWN with THERMAL NIGHT VISION - efficiency 101. PLUS: Watch to the end for our awesome new KILL CAM - super fast-paced content where you can see a whole video’s worth of thermal hog hunting in a few moments.
TIP: Video too slow-paced for you? Set your playback speed to 2x and see if that's better. :)
Welcome to the world of thermal hog hunting, the preferred method for farmers to thin the populations of feral hogs on their property. Invasive wild pigs are destroying farmland all over the country, especially in Texas. While the populations of wild hogs here in south Alabama aren't as huge, it's still a big problem. We take the fight to them, night hunting with Pulsar thermal scopes and ARs. It's pest control, but maybe not the kind you're used to!
This is the second episode of Thermal Thursday, a new series here on the channel. We will be releasing a new video on the first Thursday of every month. This gives us a place to release new, fresh, high-quality content as well as some throwback footage. If you haven’t already, subscribe so you won’t miss the next episode of Thermal Thursday, by Horn Swamp Hunting!
Gun: AR-15
Scope: Pulsar Trail XP50
Ammo: Wolf FMJ 100 Grain
Caliber: 6.5 Grendel
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.

@Genesis Grant i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@marcusjaxson4920]

@Genesis Grant it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my account :D

Great stuff . Nothing but brain and spine shots. No runners here. Just the drop dead zone.

I appreciate the clean headshots and not let them suffer to death

Excellent. Humane and disciplined. This is a refreshing change from the blast and scream brigade. This is clinical. 🏆

it warms the heart watching this video about pest eradication

[@mcburcke]

I like that you did all CNS shots (at least on this vid...) Only thing better would have been if you'd taken the two or three "Texas Heart Shot" opportunities that presented themselves...

[@midiman1007]

Nice shooting!! Can't get rid of these 4 legged ditch diggers fast enough. Keep it up.

[@drew65sep]

The clarity that modern night vision is ridiculous. Damn sure puts the Starlights of old to shame. And, it's gotta be just a little satisfying for the landowners to see these things die with a snout-full of the dirt that they toil so hard with to try and make a living.

[@Flies2FLL]

These videos always remind me of the Bell telephone commercial jingle from the 1970's: "Reach out...Reach out and touch someone....."

[@joesmoe71]

Some of the hogs appear to be digging their own graves, how considerate of them!

[@patches53]

Excellent shooting.

[@useruser400]

Big hogs! They must be stealing better food in AL than they can find in the FL Panhandle. I love my thermal scope. It’s totally stealthy so pigs don’t die all tensed up.🤣 The optic has a QD mount and its internal memory can store the zero settings for three different rifles. So depending on my mood I’ll mount it on my 5.56, 300 BLK, or .308 Win (all AR platforms).

[@hornswamp]

Your setup sounds awesome! Thanks for watching, and we always appreciate a comment!

What kind of fun you shooting

[@gullettr1]

I don't know why the shooter holds on the target for so long that sometimes a good kill shot is lost.

[@jeffreygleason9809]

Nice shooting! What caliber are you using?

[@jeffreygleason9809]

I see in another post you use 6.5 Grendel in all of these clips.

[@hornswamp]

That’s correct.

[@fredeb67]

Seems like some off watching some of the same shots are shown here more than once. I see the deer watching at least twice.

[@MrYoon22]

One shot one kill~!!

Nice kills! No gushers though. A-

[@hunterman1309]

Hi, nice shots. can you tell me , what kind of suppressor do you use.

[@hornswamp]

Silencer Co Omega

[@hunterman1309]

the jamming is impressive

[@2punish1]

What is the greatest distance that you have shot a hog with your thermal?

[@hornswamp]

Have killed as far as 200 yards but normally stalk to within 50.

[@stephen5147]

Well done. Why the 6.5 Grendel?

[@hornswamp]

Cheap ammo!

[@alancummings5651]

What do y’all do with them?

[@bassincinerator]

Ok hear me out, Elephant gun...

[@kengeohegan2834]

I have long been suspect that a lot of these videos coming out under different names are actually the same footage. While I haven't taken the time to search for repeats between different videos, I see repeats within this video. For instance, the clips that start at 1:03 and 5:58 are the same (and take three shots to put down the hog), the clips at 2:24 and 5:30 are the same as well. The hog in the clip that starts as 1:33 has two shots taken at it. There are 33 clips of hogs going down before the KILL Cam section, which is entirely repeats, not 36. So there are 31 hogs down with 34 shots, not 36 and 36. 31 hogs in 34 shots is still great efficiency, but I suspect, having seen many other such videos, that this efficiency is achieved through a selective editing process rather than though skill with the rifle. I enjoy the videos and appreciate the skill, but not the attempt at being mislead.

[@samiraziz7840]

I wonder why after the kill shot (2:22; 6:30), it seems that their hind legs want to flee but the rest of their body is not responding to “flight”!?!

[@samiraziz7840]

david groves - 👍

[@mrobo9037]

I think the HOGS, GET THE POINT!

[@thatthermalguy67]

awesome job what caliber?

[@hornswamp]

We use 6.5 Grendel in all of these clips. Thanks for asking!

[@bretthovey5634]

I use 6.5 swed :)

[@swamper2fly]

What do you do with all those carcasses.

[@hornswamp]

Give away what we can and feed buzzards with remainder.

How close have a hog got up on you before you killed him

[@hornswamp]

Less than 10 yards

it would be nice if they describe what they're using..... ie caliber? suppressed or not ...but not to take anything away that's what i call hunting.....

hog hunting in texas still restricted??

Heck no

[@TranslatedAssumption]

The only restriction is in getting permission to hunt on someone else's property.

[@philschuler9674]

How come one round cant take these hoggs out. They must be pretty tough.

[@hornswamp]

They’re tough for sure, but the bullet doesn’t always hit the most vulnerable spot when they’re on the run.

[@philschuler9674]

@@hornswamp i get that. I hunt in central Canada, wolves, deer, moose. We always wait for the animal to stop and then take the coveted kill shot. Not so with hogs, after the first shot the other 20 are hauling the mail. Good videos, I would love to be on a hog hunt.

[@mulekicker-ut5jl]

Just finished my 12.5 grendal ar build today and then sighting in my pulsar tomorrow. Running a yhm resonator on it which makes it about same length as regular ar. Hope to kill a few hogs this weekend. Good shooting
