Hunter Attacked by Angry Boar During Thermal Hunt with Trijicon REAP-IR Thermal Scope
Incredible hog and coyote hunting footage from Chris Robinson of Night Crew TV, including this large boar that ran full steam at Chris from about 100 yards away after being shot.
All hunt footage was shot through the eyepiece of the Trijicon REAP-IR thermal scope. This video footage illustrates the incredible image quality seen during use.
**Feral Hog Problem in Texas**
Each year feral hogs cause millions of dollars in damage in the form of damaged crops, contaminated water supplies, broken equipment, transmission of disease and injury to livestock.
Due to their intelligence, adaptability, and prolific breeding habits, traditional methods of hunting and trapping have been largely ineffective in reducing the feral hog population. Since feral hogs are not considered game animals in Texas they may be hunted by any means or methods at any time of year. Some of these methods include large round traps with remote trigger capability, hunting with dogs, and helicopter hog hunts.
Recently, with the increased availability and affordability of night vision and thermal optics, farmers, hunters and citizens alike have access to new weapons/tools to aid in the fight against feral hogs.
**Why hunt coyotes?**
Coyotes are presently the most abundant livestock predators in western North America, causing the majority of sheep, goat, and cattle losses. For example, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, coyotes were responsible for 60.5% of the 224,000 sheep deaths attributed to predation in 2004.The total number of sheep deaths in 2004 comprised 2.22% of the total sheep and lamb population in the United States, which, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service USDA report, totaled 4.66 million and 7.80 million heads respectively as of July 1, 2005. Because coyote populations are typically many times greater and more widely distributed than those of wolves, coyotes cause more overall predation losses. The United States government agents routinely shoot, poison, trap, and kill about 90,000 coyotes each year to protect livestock.
Coyotes typically bite the throat just behind the jaw and below the ear when attacking adult sheep or goats, with death commonly resulting from suffocation. Blood loss is usually a secondary cause of death. Calves and heavily fleeced sheep are killed by attacking the flanks or hindquarters, causing shock and blood loss. When attacking smaller prey, such as young lambs, the kill is made by biting the skull and spinal regions, causing massive tissue and bone damage. Small or young prey may be completely carried off, leaving only blood as evidence of a kill.
In the absence of the harassment of coyotes practiced by rural people, urban coyotes are losing their fear of humans, which is further worsened by people intentionally or unintentionally feeding coyotes. In such situations, some coyotes have begun to act aggressively toward humans, chasing joggers and bicyclists, confronting people walking their dogs, and stalking small children. Non-rabid coyotes in these areas sometimes target small children, mostly under the age of 10, though some adults have been bitten.

Why do guns make country guys think they are so much tougher than guys from the city? personally i think its too make up where they lack elsewhere.
Did your girlfriend leave you for a good ol country boy like me, cupcake? You sound like you're lacking brains. Dont underestimate us country folk buddy 🇺🇸💪🏼
Im pretty sure that you're not tough enough to skin a hot dog let alone a hog or other animal to survive, although you've got to be slightly tough to have to wait for and hunt down the mailman each month to collect a welfare cheque.
Shut up
You seem upset.
@John B I was raised on a farm and I agree with you 100%.
As someone who used to hike (when younger) I can personally attest that wild boars are scary as hell. We all climbed trees and I happened to pick a slightly thin one. They tore at that 5" trunk until about 2-3 inches were left before giving up, and then only because my friends distracted them. They have very sharp tusks, are smarter than some of the commenters here, and hunt in packs.
@Markus Patients How old were you when you dreamed that?😆
@Markus Patients Hopefully you'll be potty trained by then. No; wait! 🤔🤣
@@liquidpowder839 LOL
That's the most ridiculous fairytale i've ever heard.
@Markus Patients Don't get me wrong. I have grabbed them by the hind legs while a dog had their attention on the front end. But never have i walked up on a wild animal in the dark and put a gun to its head....

@@cool2180 Myself, For coyote, .223, although, I prefer.. ".243, 6mm AI, 6.5 creedmoor, 260 ackley improved Rem." I prefer long shots with low drag ammo, this is just my preference.

Still amazes me how advanced thermal imaging is now.
True but that optic cost $8,000.
We need a few of these cameras finally get good footage of bigfoot.
Wait until a certain technology becomes available to the civilian sector. I can't disclose much but, what if I told you we can see through dense objects and detect signatures.
@@bottling.hobo. ya agreed so much for using my blind!
@@richbadour6002 or being underground
Its crazy to me that from that distance it knew right where the shot came from.
It didn’t know.
Lucky guess
A hog has eyes ears and a good sense of smell. The hunters said something about which way the wind was blowing prior to that. All the hogs always know. That is how they know which way to run
They don’t have any idea where the shot came from. They will almost always run towards the closest cover. They ALWAYS know where THAT is. If the shooter happens to be in between, it will look like the hog is charging. But in almost every case, it is simply trying to get away.
@@randytausch3519 I thought the hogs would notice the hunters trying to sneak up on them and be suspicious. They probably act differently if they have been shot at before. Also, they likely hear the shots and the direction and be suspicious.
11:04 the one he shot 2nd was the one that got up & came at em. He played dead for a sec before he charged the shooter! Wow!
Jason Clay that fucker had a heat seeking missle locked on, on him🤯
FEAR THE WOLF809 LMFAO
Proven psychiatric fact that what they do to animals they eventually will do to humans if haven't already. Murdering Gods animals, His creations in cold blood murder while they are innocently minding their own business not hurting anyone. These men are cowards. And will answer to God for this murdering His animals.
Wish that animal would have killed the murderer.
Those fuckers are goddamn FAST!
I love how the cows just mind their own business when the pigs get shot around them.
Cause cows hate them to
Honestly I get frustrated with the cows stupidity sometimes, I’m like move dumbass
The cows know they have VIP status lol
Just how white america acts when a mexican or black gets shot or hurt.
Can anyone tell me what u do to the bodies of all these pigs? do they let the coyotes or vultures take care of them or what do they do? I mean they are supposebly killing more than 50.
That’s why ladies, and gentlemen, and man-ladies from the city, you always carry a side arm when hunting.
You got that right!! And nothing less than a .40
In some states its illegal
@@HeadhuntexGamer so?
@@greattribulation1388 Some people dont carry because of it, I honestly dont care about this law because its st3pid

Can we not appreciate the speed, stamina, and ground that hog covered before he was mowed down?
Not to mention how he locked in on them from so far away. Or was that just coincidence? I couldnt make out why he first ran straight across and then directly at them. It like he said I'm gonna sacrifice myself and take one for the Team So y'all can escape Banzai !!!!!!! 🇯🇵

@@thekomzik8003 I was going to ask if doing this was usual: My brother carried a 12 ga shotgun for the same reason.
@@thekomzik8003 Yes; I meant he carried a 12 ga shotgun as a sidearm, in addition to his rifle.

Love this video, I'm a 66 year old disabled Marine vet, in spite of my impaired walking mobility I love to fix up tune in older military rifles. I f had a thermal scope like that on an M-14 or even the Russian Mosin I know I could drop a few of those pests with ambush tactics. Live well and be careful hunting
Hope you never get well enough to lift a rifle.
@@Alnpeke typical "accepting and tolerant" liberal. The only reason why you have the ability to spout off your bull is because of veterans. Part of my family is from the Philippines, and if it wasn't for veterans I wouldnt exist. Head out to a farm where an entire crop of your beloved vegetables have been wiped out in one night, grab a bucket and salvage what you can and live off of that. I figure you don't care about fellow human beings seeing as you wish life long suffering on others. Karma has it's way, have a good day.
@@Alnpeke stop crying, lmao. your life is just miserable so you nehave like this, got it
that is extremely disrespectful. It is because of veterans that you can do what you do including shoot off your mouth. You demonstrate the hatred in your heart.
Oorah.
it puts a smile on my face to see some fellow country folk keeping their farm free of these invasive pests, keep up the good work man! cx
Lmao nice profile pic
For such herds we need brust type guns.
Don't you feel sad for innocent animals? When I was a kid I was taught, you can only kill animal if you need food, or if they attack you. I think they don't eat all the stuff they hunt...
@@camfg8908 You should do research before you say stupid shit.Hogs cost farmers a lot of money because of the destruction they do to crops.

To the men that shot these hogs … Thank you for your service to the Republic Of Texas
11:09 pig offered his soul to Ares in exchange for vengeance on his enemies.
Thanks...
I bet you that scared the shit out of them 🤣😂🤣😆
hahahaha
12:39 There’s a little skunk 🦨 bouncing around in the field, lmao.
😂😂😂 his ass dipped after that shot
P sure it’s a squirrel
Wow read this looked up and it was actually write when he came bouncing around.
Yup, ol’ Pepe is thinking to himself that he was glad to be born a skunk
10:55 is what you guys came for.
Thanks babe
thank u
You the real MVP!
Thanks man...lol i was looking for it
THANK YOU
It’s really great to watch you guys hunt.
I've been out of the loop regarding hunting, man this stuff is high tech now.
the moment at 11:00 is brought to you by Haynes brand underwear.....always have fresh underwear ready.
Jajajajajaja
thanks
Nearly soiled mine just watching 😂
Even if it is Hanes
lol thats a good one.
That is amazing how clear the night lights up. It’s almost like daytime. Good video.
How gracious of you to allow him to take one last dump at 5:35. Nobody deserves to die when taking a dump shows how humane you guys are.

I second you 😂😂😂😂
🤭😂😂😂
But that is not a boar??
Remember kids always take a good pistol with you while hog hunting. 😁
He felt bad because the animal had a broken leg. Exceptional personality. Cheers, mate.
That boar deserves lot of respect. Shook off the first shot then decided to use his last bit of strength to exact his revenge. Tiger blood running in his veins. lol
He bought time for his fellows to escape
BOARHALLA AWAITS
Funny thing is, I bet you're not wrong.
@@dennismoore2752 lol
It just shows why they need to be shot as many times as it takes. Feral hogs are man's mistake, so man need to correct it.
I love these videos! Amazing technology. Thanks for bringing these videos to utube
My heart races watching some of these. I have got to do this. Ive never been more excited about a new way of hunting like i am after watching this.
Never hunt hogs with a bolt gun...always a semi auto. Pissed hogs almost always charge.
A sidearm, too. If possible, that is. My father hunted wild boar (that's _not_ what these are) some in Tennessee back in the 1960s and he believed in a sidearm when hog hunting.
Keep a 12 gauge with slugs
Yes. Wild bores are nothin to mess with. No bolt action!! Only semi auto or something full auto will do.
You people need to learn to shoot then!
Steven horsefield one person with the auto rifle the other person with a 12 gage if they charge.
11:20 the determination is real . RIP suicide hog, took it for the team - you was a real one
Lol
It was running to the light.
Did it die or survive?
@@ayushtomar6789 died and eaten.
@@ayushtomar6789 I played it at 0.25 speed and it seems like it fell after it got shot at close range by the other guy before it could hit the first guy he was targeting, leading it to fall to the ground.
Everytime someone comes within the scope range, it’s all I can do not yell, “Get out of my line of fire”. My heart jumps everytime. Yes, I realize you are filming, but that doesn’t stop me from freaking out. 😆
Absolutely love your channel. I can watch this all day. Hi from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬
This is the best video you have made that I have seen! The coyote on the hay was spectacular! The hog charge was incredible footage, as well!
Where is the AC-130 Gunship when you need it ?
Bacon! 🥓 not _Spam!_ 😏
"danger close"
Just saw one flying over Mobile AL about 5 days ago.
@vijay surendran 100 armed men with long rifles would be cheaper
lol, I think the chopper gunner would work best here. with a minigun
That hog was possessed. I wonder if that came back at you by chance or if it came after you knowing you were there. Nice shot.
What kind of rifle did you use? What sidearm did you use to kill the charging boar?
The last scene showing about 60 hogs just illustrates the size of your problem. Happy hunting, from the UK.
+cicero2 Cheers!
It was hard to tell, was that last scene all hogs?! Wow!
Yes
Dude you need a Gatling gun!
This video is too awesome! Thank you for sharing!!!
What type and caliber rifles are you guys using ?
11:20 pig- "I'm not afraid of you!" Hunter in Darth Vader voice "then you will die braver than most"
I love these videos, this one in particular!!! If you notice the Dove flying away from the Fox/Coyote at about 4:45 into the video,then if you pay close enough attention you will see a field mouse, it's just a testament to the quality of the thermal imaging!!! Keep up the good work guys 💯 also my son would like to thank you for being ethical with fuzzing out the ones that don't succumb to the first shot!!!! I want to take him on a hog hunt this coming spring!!!
When you realize how ignorant😳 you were to all the wild hogs on the farm 🚜. Never had this problem on the farm here in Michigan. Damn! Work hard all day, then up at night to protect what you worked all day on. RESPECT 🙌!
waaat?
Not the best stalkers until you find out how sharp those tasks are.
What suppressors or silencers do you use if you don’t mind
That hog charge was serious, looked like one of the guys took it out with a side arm...nice.
This hunter kills a lot of boars. And then what? How are killed animals used? Can they be eaten or not? I think
@@user-tx5id2rb2p They can be eaten. Wild hogs here start to taste a little nasty after they get too large. Although, all the pigs I shoot just get hauled out of the pasture and left to rot. Going for eradication more than anything.
@@chrismawson4430 yeah they are starting to be invasive extermination is needed more than ever since they destroy everything and kill animals
Definitely a large caliber pistol
@@user-tx5id2rb2p They're pests. The intention is to kill them. If they can use them they do but they don't need to.
good job, and yes they do a lot of damage, my compliments sir
Is the sound I hear before shoot using their mouth or some sort of lure? When shot hog 1st time. It laid down. Then got up & started charging. Why did it make wide arc instead of coming straight at you? Was it trying pick up sent? Can they see good at night? How did it know where you were at?
Can't see a single reference to South Park in the comments, to correct this omission, Uncle Jimbo: "It's coming right for us!"
What kind of scope is on other rifle? Is it thermal also?
Best quality video I've seen so far.
+Johan Nilsson Thank you!
So... what exactly became of that little encounter there at 11:30 ?
What kind of guns are these guys using? Just curious.
Loved this video!!! Keep them coming!!!! The coyote howling in haybell was very cool!
Thank you!
WITH SO MANY HOGS, WHY ONLY ONE RIFLE????
And why is it a bolt action one???? If he had a semi he could get 2 or 3 himself
@@eddieb9558 , for sure.
Thermal night vision and a bolt gun. One foot in the future, one foot in the past.
@@eddieb9558 bolt action with a clunky action and a slow clumsy operator. Definitely removing this channel from my recommendations lol
YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVEN"T PRICED A TRIJICON REAP-IR! At $9,500 each, it's not easy for most guys to slip that one past their wife!
What do you guys do with the all the bodies? Especially coyotes. Vulture food only or harvested meat too?
Pew pew, pew pew. Thanks for putting in the all the time and effort gentlemen. Be careful out there.
Always carry a good semi auto pistol for moments like these
I've seen videos of a pig skull deflecting 9 mm bullet. You'll need something with serious caliber
A FN five seven should do the job. Sadly in Spain we cant carry sidearms.
12 gauge will do fine at close range
I always hunt boar with a magazine fed rifle(AK). You never know when one of those little bastards will turn and run at you. That’s why you need a rifle that will let you get off a quick follow up shot
@@billtamas1854 , so true. Semi is the only way to let em fly. I call my single shot break barrel air rifles 'muskets' and they're for sale, replaced by a Senaca Aspen, not semi but side lever action. 2 seconds between sends.
Uh-oh bacon missile inbound! Lol
What is the animal behind the group of hogs at about the 12:50 mark? Long tail makes me think it's a skunk, but it seems to move faster than any skunk I've seen.
skunk 🦨
The thermal scopes are crazy. What is widows foxes or coyotes they were taking down? I know about the major pig problem but what are the foxes or coyotes doing in that area as well? I heard coyotes and fixes destroy chicken coops. Is that accurate and what are they getting?

I don't usually write reviews unless I really love a product or absolutely hate it. This scope is fantastic! Easily as good as other scopes I've used that cost 10x as much.
Nice, watching from Angola 🇦🇴
That night vision or thermal camera is amazing. I am impressed by the technology. Turn night into day. Also I wonder if you would use an ar15 if it would be easier for the follow up shots.
4:04 On the far right, you can see the poop that was just released by a hog & a different hog peeing on the far right as it walks....that's impressive for the scope I think.
Bill Blast Who comments on seeing crap coming out of a pig😂😂😂😂
Bill Blast Small Weiner 😂😂😂
Always someone on here talking shit
What do you do with all the goodies?
Question...I'm not a Hunter, so I don't know the etiquette, practices or rules. I've seen other videos where they collect the Boars @ the end of the hunt. Do you collect the Coyotes as well? Just curious.
This is one of the most intense videos of hunting I have ever seen, ever hog hunter knows the danger of this happening and why you should always have a side arm also
What would be a good caliber sidearm to carry?
@@mylittlepitbull3143 40 or 45 cal for best results

What is the animal in the background @ the 13 minute mark?
Good footage dude
I just came across your channel and subscribed. This is fantastic imagery, dreamlike, other worldly, trippy. As an artistic photographer and videographer, I am now fascinated with night vision. Plus I know you are serving a useful service to farmers. I own land in northern Maine and it's almost overrun with coyotes, they are not in short supply and they will attack humans and farm animals. Haven't seen any wild boar yet but I wouldn't be surprised if they're around.
What a crap 💩
Buy a gun!
Once a shot is fired, they run away from the noise. Perhaps a remote controlled contraption that issues shot noise and light flashes could be placed at locations around the field in advance and triggered after the first shots in order to confuse the pigs about which direction to run. This would help to keep them in range.
What do you do with the doglike ones?
That hog charge was intense! Excellent shooting…and and reflexes. With a bolt action rifle, that was a Hail Mary shot “for the books!”
The ending scene of the roving herd of pigs is frightening and means that they are here to stay.
I think it'd be a good idea to at least have a handgun or something on you as a backup if you're going to be hunting with a bolt-action.
He did, and he used it.
What caliber gun are you using?
15:27--bovine casually moves to the left, aware that the shooter is shooting at the hogs to the right. I absolutely LOVE seeing this! 🥰👍
Somebody needs some practice running that bolt gun.....good grief at all the pig lives that were saved. Time for an upgrade.....get a semi-auto.
Not to mention all the damn coyotes! sheesh
I dont think thats what he was going for...looked like he was trying to get close enough to club them with it!
Arkansas Reaper bullshit. I promise I could do better with a bolt gun. Practice and practice some more.
Exactly what I was thinking, reminds me of hunting with 9 yr old nephew he couldn't work a bolt either.
Arkansas Reaper yeaaaa 😂😂😂
11:20 "It's coming right for us!!!"
Amazing how far the night vision has come in the last few years. This video from 2017 looks pigmented and grainy compared to modern stuff.
Wat type of ammunition are they hitting the boat with?
that thing hopped up like it was possessed by a demon, holy shit.
Nice shot on that charging boar in the dark...amazing
12:45 what’s the critter in the background?
I live in NYC. When you tell people that you have coyotes running around the city people think you’re joking but we have to trap and remove a few every year . They just walk over the bridges . Especially In Queens Brooklyn and The Bronx
LA has them everywhere, they are coy af, will stand to get you to swerve your car and they dip off, scummy things
10:25 Let me sneak within 5 feet of this thing to damn near miss
Right either he cant hit shit or he banged his scope and sent it way off zero
You gut shoot so it dies in the forest guys. That wasn’t a miss. He hit it in the stomach
Need two or three shooters that way you can kill 3 before they scatter! Always carry a sidearm!
What next? Range cards? Fields of fire? An FO?
I love watching 👀 these men hunt the night 🌙 vision is awesome 👌
What part of Texas is this in?
that is one hell of an optic! damn that was close. good show!
Amazing shots man!! This is was super entertaining lol!
What are they using to film?!
Are they wild dogs there or a native? Just curious if like our dingoes they have interbred and create devastation in stock?
My goodness, look like someone left the gate open on the piggery. Never seen so many hogs roaming around.
great video, enjoyed it a lot.

The hog reminded me that Yu-Gi-Oh card called rush recklessly, where in the artwork It shows a javali rushing in similar way.
