Howdy Y'all!
That was my video in the OP. Some of your comments were spot on and some were a hoot!
Just to give some clarification, the hunt was original supposed to be stand hunt and so I did not have my shooting sticks with me. Shooting sticks are not as popular as they should be in the states, that is true, and some people certainly do consider you wimpy or pansy for using them. I like them just fine. I use monopods, bipods, and tripods, with tripods being my favorite.
Our feral hogs are generally smaller their your typical European boar and the Grendel performs very well on hogs, especially the Hornady SST 123 gr. ammo. Much more popular is the slightly lighter 120 gr. 6.8 spc rounds, a fractionally greater diameter round with a worse BC and less penetration potential. It is very popular with hog hunters here.
My favorite hunting round is the .45/70 in a lever action rifle. It is a wonderful hog round. Unfortunately, my night optics won't handle such recoil. I do sometimes hunt with a .308 that the optics will handle the recoil, but the video tends to be better with the lower recoiling rifle.
Sloppy? More so than I would like, no doubt. I still have much to learn. In the end, I still came home safe and I was able to get rid of another pest, which are the primary goals of my hunting. I certainly do prefer DRT shots as the hogs rarely run to a more convenient location.
I look forward to reading more about how y'all hunt and seeing what your videos have to offer!
