Rock... I take it these hogs were taken over baited locations? Do you use another thermal optic to assess the targets before you take up the rifle or can you hear/or see the potential targets gathering?

No sir.
All hogs taken in this thread were in pastures or farmland destroying it. No bait at all.
Josh uses the helmet mounded night vision to scan out his side of the vehicle, and I have a thermal monocular to scan on my side.
We spot a sounder of hogs that way, then play the wind to get into position for a stalk... Then stalk our way out to the hogs.
Once in position, we get set on a particular hog... I take the ones from the center of the group to the left, and Josh from the center to the right.
Of course after the first shots, it's a free for all on running hogs. The photo Josh posted was from one sounder on one stalk. Coyote was called in, and Josh took it when it got close enough.
