Went hog hunting with a buddy a few days ago. It was his first time pig hunting/hunting with thermal and it was only my second time. We got on a group within 45 minutes of riding around, and stalked to about 70-80 yards. He takes his shot, all the pigs scatter, and the one he shot runs off to not be recovered. He has video record on his thermal, so I rewatched the footage to see how everything went down. It looked like his crosshairs settled right behind the front shoulder and slightly low, with the pig slightly quartered toward us. The thing I was wondering about is, as the pig started to run away, you could see a couple of little heat spots falling onto the ground. My first thought was blood, but he was using 75 grain TAP 5.56. And 5.56 isn’t necessarily known to leave the best blood trails. I talked to another buddy the next day that pig hunts a lot about it, and he said in his experience, it was most likely either blood or crap. So I figured I’d ask everyone else’s experiences. Does fresh pig crap show up that well on thermal?
