Join us on an unforgettable hog hunting weekend with my friend Jack Hennessy, who visited from Kansas. We kicked things off on our ranch, where Jack skillfully took down a feral hog from a group of younger pigs in Texas. But the main event was set in the breathtaking Texas Hill Country, just south of Austin. Amidst drought conditions, we found our game near a sparse water hole in a vast 1000+ acre ranch. Watch as Jack showcases his remarkable shooting skills with his Marlin Dark 30-30 Lever Action Rifle equipped with ATN Thor LTV thermal vision. Don't miss the action as we navigate the challenging terrain and witness Jack's impressive hunting prowess! #HogHuntingTexas #MarlinDark3030 #ATNThorLTV #TexasHillCountry #PrecisionShooting

FERAL HOGS - AN INVASIVE SPECIES
Feral Hog Math: 1+1=12, 6+6=72, 36+36=232
Gestation period: 115 days
Females can have their first litter as young as 6 month old.
One sow with litter can turn into over 70 hogs in only 9 months. Add 9 months for every generation after that. You're looking at over 200 hogs after only 18 months.
Wild Hogs cause an annual damage of estimated $2 Billion. That is damage to equipment, live stock, land, as well as crop. This estimate also includes the cost for efforts controlling this invasive species.
Feral hogs compete directly with livestock as well as game and non-game wildlife species for food. However, the main damage caused to livestock and wildlife is indirect destruction of habitat and agriculture commodities. Rooting and trampling activity for food can damage agricultural crops, fields, and livestock feeding and watering facilities. Often wildlife feeders are damaged or destroyed. They also destabilize wetland areas, springs, creeks and tanks by excessive rooting and wallowing. In addition to habitat destruction and alteration, hogs can destroy forestry plantings and damage trees. While not active predators, wild hogs may prey on fawns, young lambs, and kid goats. If the opportunity arises, they may also destroy and consume eggs of ground nesting birds, such as turkeys and quail.

ABOUT TEXAS JAGD
"JAGD" (ja:kt) is German for Hunt/Hunting. Ronny was born and raised in Germany and moved to the US in his late 20s. He has always been an avid outdoorsman and almost immediately started hunting after moving to the USA. Hunting wasn't as accessible in Germany, so he enjoyed and embraced the freedom given in America. He partnered up with Micah when they both discovered that they shared the same passion for night vision and thermal vision hog hunting in Texas. Together they patrol private ranches, farmland and corporate properties around Austin TX and keep the local feral hog population at bay as much as they can.
They aim to kill fast, but feral hog control is a numbers game and they will take any shot which can be safely placed. Their highest priority is safety, and their shots are limited by population/residential homes in rural areas as well as livestock. That's why you won't see them going rapid-fire. They will err on the side of caution instead of taking that one shot they would regret.
Their equipment and means to control Wild Hogs primarily consists of semi-auto rifles equipped with the newest Thermal Vision and Night Vision Optics. These Thermal Scopes allow them to quickly detect and recognize feral hogs at distances up to 1,000 yards. Suppressed AR platform rifles are their preference but there are many other very capable semi-automatic rifles, which will be utilized as well. Silencers are essential to the team's efforts because it reduces the noise level significantly and won't alert people living in surrounding areas so that TXJ's activities won't become a nuisance. Local Texas farmers are grateful for the free crop protection services as it saves them money.
Ronny and Micah enjoy what they do and take pride in this work.

Great video awesome job
Great show!
Thank you!
Nice to see a New Video and lots of Hogs to boot.
thank you! next one is in the works. Lots more drone use.
Another great video. Professionally done and highly entertaining. Very few channels have this quality where I want to watch and then left wanting more....That hill country property looks pretty cool from the drone view, but harsh when you are on foot. And pretty shocked to see so many hogs out during the day...must not have a lot of human pressure on that place.
nice
Good job man, my cousin got the Thor 5 today, we sighted it in at the range
damn! I want to see that thing.
@@TexasJAGD let’s meet up soon. I thought he ordered the 1024 but it’s a 640
Great video.
What did you film the thermal part with?
thank you! ATN OTS 4T 640 - turned out pretty good I thought.
I thought maybe you had given up on shooting TH-cam videos. According to a botanist girl friend I had, cedar trees indicated poor soil conditions.
just struggling to balance it all - new job, family, ranching, youtube
👍👍
Machst echt nicen kontent, jagd verbindet uns alle leider sind wir in deiner alten heimat doch sehr beschränkt was die auslebung unseres sportes betrifft. Da kann man euch amerikaner echt beneiden.
Danke! Und ja, zu viele Beschränkungen in DLand.
