Final tally at 5:44am - 8 hogs in the truck and 2 to find whenever we manage to wake up. Not bad for one night. We've had better, but not bad. Gotta get sum sleep now y'all. I'll post pics when I get back to the house in the evening.
Added @ 5:54:
We just wanted to thank everyone for their words of encouragement! Sorry if it wasn't really interesting we've never done one of these before. Next time we'll have some more stuff figured out so we can make it more interesting for people wanting to follow along. Thanks again, y'all!
G'nyte!

Ok, I finally got some pix off the camera. Sorry it took so long but after hunting until almost 6am and getting up around 9:45am I needed a nap! We never were able to find the two hogs we couldn't find last night- one was a REALLY nice boar (as big as the one in the pix) and the other was a pretty good sized sow. Recovering 8 out of 10 is pretty good, though. Here are some of the pix we took this morning:
Tracy, Logan & Eddie (TBH: Night Threat)
Logan, Myself and Tracy (lurker!)
Here's a "Classic Tailgate Photo" for those that like them- Like we do!
Here's a head-shot of Logan's big boar. Check out the huge 'Whetters!' This old hog had some great teeth up front but his back teeth were worn to the gum. Logan just called me and let me know that while he was skinning the head, he found a German Kinetic broadhead stuck in its skull with the tip protruding into the brain! The wound was closed but still not scarred-over. So, someone had taken a head-shot on this big old boy recently and, in spite of having a broadhead into its brain, it didn't seem to have any effect on him at all! Talk about a tough animal! Way to go Logan!
Here's Night Threat's infamous, "Chili Shot" - the entrance hole. This boar squared-up on Eddie and just wouldn't turn. So, he put that tritium pin on his throat and sqeezed one off. Scroll down for pictures of the braodhead used and the rest of the shot!
Here's the old Howard Hill broadhead that Eddie used for his "Chili shot." These monsterous and incredibly tough broadheads are AWESOME! If anyone knows where to find some of them- even some used ones still in good shape- PLEASE let me know!
Here's a diagram of how Night Threat's, "Chili Shot" works, when executed flawlessly! This hog didn't go 15 yards before doing a back-flip!
Here are a couple more shots for those of you that like the more 'gory' shots. I'm making them links so that you can make the choice to look at them or not. Me and my friends like pix like this but I know some don't. So, the choice is yours.
This one shows the tusks on both sides

All the hogs on this hunt were killed without using ANY sort of spotlight, flashlight or any other battery-powered illumination. We relied solely on moonlight and our TruGlo trtium pins; and kisser buttons instead of peep sights. For those that are interested.
I want to thank Eddie, Logan and Tracy for a really great night of hunting and cameraderie- it's always a blast hunting with them. The ONLY way it could have been more fun would have been if Rusty Brothers (Oak Sniper) could have made it up here. At least he and Lee (leebtattoos) are having a good time down south! Hopefully next month we'll be able to ALL hunt together, like we had planned for this one. If we do, boy those hogs are in for it!
