Excellent shooting, keep up the good work. I've seen first hand the damage this invasive species can do overnight. They can turn over acres of crops and lawns better than a John Deere pulling multiple plows!!!!!
10 or 11 of these wild hogs tore up my backyard lawn in Florida around a year ago on the Treasure Coast just 20 miles off Atlantic Ocean. HOA had to hire and expensive trapper to catch and kill them. Now I'm on the hook for around 35 pieces of new Sod etc. They are extremely destructive. And dangerous. That is why I enjoy watching videos like this one. Keep up the good work. And I feel for the Florida farmers that are fighting these wild Hogs too. Many are just getting by!!!
Excellent marksmanship and proper gun handling keeping your rifle on safe until ready to shoot. I like seeing people who believe in shot placement to put them lights out. Keep it up.

I would like to share the video listed below as to what I am doing. Good to see someone that recognizes it. When I found the video that is linked below, my hunt changed to one shot one kill.

Yes Sir that we will, so other than making our own hamburger meat; we have stew, roast and my favorite “Sweet-N-Sour Pork”. We are able to supply family and friends with free meat. The boars go to someone in town that cleans them and then charges a small processing fee for his work on the meat, and yes people do buy him out. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.

Love this. I know the hogs need to be taken out, but I so much prefer seeing the surgical precision you use. Not only is it more humane, (which I believe indicates a more HUMAN shooter), I absolutely love precision shooting. I also imagine they taste a ton better with no adrenaline pumped into their system. What do you use rifle wise? I'm love how you just drop them like hitting a switch. You've got a new subscriber here. Keep on pin pointing!

You are the first person on You Tube to hear this but, someone close to my land started trapping the hogs. The population of hogs has dropped down to only one or two pigs running by from time to time. Their trapping is non stop, I have seen small groups come in but they are trapped in a day or two. With that said, I have only shot one hog this year, normally I try to make a couple videos a year. Don't know if I'll have enough for one video this year.

@@tomhjr63 its crazy how they adapt to there environment. I was in Saskatchewan a month ago and saw some on the border with North Dakota, it was chilly and there was snow on the ground. The border agent who i talked to said they are seeing a explosion of them up there in a few counties and provinces ,but nobody is really hunting them.
@@dannysharp3729 I’m in North Dakota, about 60 miles from the border to Canada. I remember about 4/5 years ago I heard them talking on the news about all the hogs that were (supposedly) on their way down here. Not a pig anywhere yet, that I’ve seen or heard of. Kinda figured those pigs might be strictly Canadian bacon, heh, heh. We’re just waitin for them here, and our northern neighbors live under a lotta gun restrictions. Safer for em up there, I bet.

Great shooting. Do you use sandbags on the blind window or another type of gun rest? Also, do you have a rest for your right elbow if you shoot right handed?
Thanks for your comment and question. Let me first say, I really enjoy making these videos for people like you that know what they are looking at. In either one of my 4’ x 6’ box blinds, I just rest the rifle on the wooden window opening. In order to get a clean video without making viewers sea sick, I use a “BOG Havoc Shooting Stick, Bipod” just in front of the trigger guard to steady out the rifle. Without the bipod sticks the video jumps around instead of the smooth moving like you would see in a regular video taken from a camcorder. Good question buddy, thanks for watching.
Yes Sir, I just hear that the process of getting one has just become easier. Something about the start of ATF eForms. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.
Accuracy and precision in one package. Down to the click of the safety and the scanning for additional pigs without taking any shots that aren’t 100%. What rifle/round are you using? Always wanted to hunt but wasn’t old enough back when my family did. Now the uncle owns some land and I’m going out on my first hunt at 22 tomorrow. Hope I’m as dead on as you

@@tomhjr63 Thanks for great info reply! Do you think 55gr 0.223 bolt action would work in that situation? Or what do you think is smallest cartridge that will work?
@@artsmith103 I am not sure of a good or better bullet or one grain over the other; I would just recommend using a polymer tip bullet. Because, upon impact, the plastic drives into the hollow point and the bullet performs like a standard hollow-point, expanding ("mushrooming") to a larger diameter. These bullets possess the aerodynamics for longer, more accurate flights, and the in-target performance to ensure high lethality.

It's absolutely insane how fast these pigs reproduce! Even with the countless guys like yourself putting out videos here on Utube and countless other who don't record. Still is barely putting a dent in their numbers. Pair them with gov paying farmers not to grow, the price of fertilizer if they can even get it and Bill Gates being the single largest farmland owner...We are in big trouble!

I'm absolutely not against taking invasive species. And these are among of the worst. But taking them in ones and twos seems almost pointless. I'm just wondering if Texas needs to get serious about this with professionals who know how to take out entire sounders.
We have thought about trapping or something more professional but we do keep the hogs numbers on our 300 acres under control most of the time. Keep in mind we really love the opportunity to hunt year round. It is great to invite a friend or family members over to hunt at any time of the year for some great hunting fun and free meat.. Only time I get very serious about thinning the sounder is when the numbers get out of hand but there again my hunting buddies are always at the ready to jump in and help. Thanks so much for your question and thanks for watching.
@@tomhjr63- Well, even if you trapped the space down to zero. I suppose the next question would be how long before they would be back - because they seem to be there to stay. And if you're staying on top of that immediate area - that's probably doing better than most parts of the southern US. Best wishes!
Good eye buddy that is exactly what it is for. What you are seeing is a sheet of cattle panel or some people call it animal proof fencing. The square holes are 8” x 6”. We put that under all the feeders so the hogs will not rut a large hole there. We have heard of feeders falling over due to the rutting. Without the panel, hogs and raccoons will have a water hole or mud bath there in a very short time. Other animals tend not eat water soaked corn. Sometimes we put down two pieces of panel to keep the holes even smaller. Thanks again for your comment and thanks for watching.

I know that this was published 2 months ago but if you see this I was wondering, I noticed below in the comments that you said that you had friends that enjoy the meat. Don’t you have to worry about eradication programs that use poison? And finally, great video!
Thanks for your great question. We live in a small community with mostly cattle farmers; the game warden eats breakfast at our only restaurant in town and can be found there and talked with. I will ask him again about this, years ago I asked and there was no chance of that happens. I am not sure about the use of poisons in this area today, like back then, I don’t think it could be hidden or someone would be licensed to use it because of all the “By” kills including the cattle, deer, squirrels and protected birds of prey along with ducks and fish getting into bait that is poisoned or animals lying dead in the fields. I will get an update from the game warden or just talk to some of my hunting buddies that are closer to him and land owners. Thanks again for your question and thanks for watching.

What would be cool is if you could come up with some kind of targeting app to coordinate the targeting of a herd of pigs and have each person in the team assigned a hog and then simultaneously go bang so none of them can run away. It would make a tremendous racket tho.
Yes Sir, that would be awesome, however the knuckleheads I hunt with can never seem to get together at the same time due to work and wife chores. Maybe it will work on a smaller scale, but that’s a great ideal. Thanks for your suggestion and as always, thanks a bunch for watching my videos.
Sorry for the confusion, friends and I process our own meat for family for free. Most of our friends have learned how to process their own free meat. The only hogs not cleaned by us are the large boars, which is not the best wild hog to eat. Those hogs are taken to a man in town that cleans them and then charges a small fee for his work of process the meat. How much that is, I do not know. We cannot sell wild game by law that is why friends and family get their meat for free. Hope this helps, thanks for your question and thanks for watching.
@@tomhjr63 no apology needed. It's just my ignorance. I appreciate the detailed response and I'm happy for your family and friends getting so much free meat.

Good shooting! I enjoyed your video. I'm in East Texas, Rusk Co. I'll be following you and would be interested on how the ATN continues to work for you.
Sounds good, I had a ATN X-Sight ll in 5x20 for over 5 years, now I am using the new ATN 4K Pro 5x20. It is still new to me so it will be a bit before I know all the ins and outs. There is always a learning curve with any new electronic device and due to the lack of ammo right now, I am not able to shoot as much as I need to. If and when you have a question you think I might be able to answer please leave your question in a comment and I’ll get you the answer if I can. Thanks for watching my videos and thanks for your comment.
@@rodgers6209 For almost six years now I have used the ATN IR850 Pro Illuminator. When I traded in my ATN X-Sight ll scope for the new ATN 4K Pro scope I found thru research that allot of people are using the Stream Light 88704 Super TAC IR. I bought one on amazon for about $95.00. This Stream light is about 50% brighter than what I have been using. I just put it on a few days ago and have not made any videos with it yet but all future videos will be with the Stream Light 88704 illuminator. The ATN IR850 Pro has been a great illuminator for me but I have found what I think to be a better one for my use. Thanks for your question.
Hope you enjoy your new scope. Let me know if there is a question you think I might be able to answer. Here are some tricks I have learned and use a lot. Tip 1; Hold the back button down while turning zoom wheel to change brightness setting, I keep a setting of 1 at night time because anything brighter will jack with my eye in the dark. Tip 2; When zeroing the scope, after the shot at any zoom power, zoom to full power before going into “Zero Reticle”. Doing this the reticle will only move a point at a time, there for you will be making small moves as you zero the scope. And before you shoot again, back out of “Zero Reticle” and put your zoom where ever you like it. I have two different bullets and four saved settings. Both bullets are saved and 75 yards and saved at 120 yards. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.

I love animals, but found this very satisfying to watch. They are destructive pests that need removing. Would a silencer make a difference? Great work.
Well said, most all the hog hunters I know are animal lovers just like me and my wife. These animals are so destructive to our 300 acre cattle farm but are year round fun to hunt for us along with family and friends. If it was not for the free meat we get while thinning them out we would have to look at a more professional way of removing them. I know a few hunters that use silencers and they say it is not much help because a large bore rifle stills has a unnatural boom in the woods that sends them running.

@@tomhjr63 Thank you Tom. I guess economic realities necessitate pest removal on a large farm. They are dispatched cleanly and there is no suffering involved. Keep up the great work. 👍
I agree! In Texas you do not need a hunting license to harvest feral hogs in most cases. Everybody that I know of hunts other game so we all have a hunting license. If someone in Texas is only going to hunt feral hogs, they would not need a hunting license as long as they are on their own land or have permission to hunt hogs from the land owner. You will need a hunting license if you are hunting hogs on public land. Texas is working with us, maybe other states will soon follow. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching

It’s sad seeing the babies all terrified it’s not like humans aren’t an invasive species of they’re own magnitude. But it has to be done they destroy so much and have no natural predators. As long as it’s clean shots and they don’t suffer too much. I guess it’s the closest humanly way possible to address this problem for now.

Well looks like someone is going to be eating well!
Yes Sir that we will, so other than making our own hamburger meat; we have stew, roast and my favorite “Sweet-N-Sour Pork”. We are able to supply family and friends with free meat. The boars go to someone in town that cleans them and then charges a small processing fee for his work on the meat, and yes people do buy him out. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.

Love this. I know the hogs need to be taken out, but I so much prefer seeing the surgical precision you use. Not only is it more humane, (which I believe indicates a more HUMAN shooter), I absolutely love precision shooting. I also imagine they taste a ton better with no adrenaline pumped into their system. What do you use rifle wise? I'm love how you just drop them like hitting a switch. You've got a new subscriber here. Keep on pin pointing!

Great shooting. Do you use sandbags on the blind window or another type of gun rest? Also, do you have a rest for your right elbow if you shoot right handed?
Thanks for your comment and question. Let me first say, I really enjoy making these videos for people like you that know what they are looking at. In either one of my 4’ x 6’ box blinds, I just rest the rifle on the wooden window opening. In order to get a clean video without making viewers sea sick, I use a “BOG Havoc Shooting Stick, Bipod” just in front of the trigger guard to steady out the rifle. Without the bipod sticks the video jumps around instead of the smooth moving like you would see in a regular video taken from a camcorder. Good question buddy, thanks for watching.

@@tomhjr63 Funny enough that was the video I watched that had yours in suggested. Small internet huh haha
@@tomhjr63 Thanks for great info reply! Do you think 55gr 0.223 bolt action would work in that situation? Or what do you think is smallest cartridge that will work?
@@artsmith103 I am not sure of a good or better bullet or one grain over the other; I would just recommend using a polymer tip bullet. Because, upon impact, the plastic drives into the hollow point and the bullet performs like a standard hollow-point, expanding ("mushrooming") to a larger diameter. These bullets possess the aerodynamics for longer, more accurate flights, and the in-target performance to ensure high lethality.
I kinda disagree,, we just gut shoot them,, let em run off who cares. Theres so many of them

It's absolutely insane how fast these pigs reproduce! Even with the countless guys like yourself putting out videos here on Utube and countless other who don't record. Still is barely putting a dent in their numbers.
Pair them with gov paying farmers not to grow, the price of fertilizer if they can even get it and Bill Gates being the single largest farmland owner...We are in big trouble!

I'm absolutely not against taking invasive species. And these are among of the worst. But taking them in ones and twos seems almost pointless.
I'm just wondering if Texas needs to get serious about this with professionals who know how to take out entire sounders.
We have thought about trapping or something more professional but we do keep the hogs numbers on our 300 acres under control most of the time. Keep in mind we really love the opportunity to hunt year round. It is great to invite a friend or family members over to hunt at any time of the year for some great hunting fun and free meat.. Only time I get very serious about thinning the sounder is when the numbers get out of hand but there again my hunting buddies are always at the ready to jump in and help. Thanks so much for your question and thanks for watching.
@@tomhjr63- Well, even if you trapped the space down to zero. I suppose the next question would be how long before they would be back - because they seem to be there to stay.
And if you're staying on top of that immediate area - that's probably doing better than most parts of the southern US.
Best wishes!
Great shots. Is that chain link fence materail under the feeder to keep the hogs from rooting?
Good eye buddy that is exactly what it is for. What you are seeing is a sheet of cattle panel or some people call it animal proof fencing. The square holes are 8” x 6”. We put that under all the feeders so the hogs will not rut a large hole there. We have heard of feeders falling over due to the rutting. Without the panel, hogs and raccoons will have a water hole or mud bath there in a very short time. Other animals tend not eat water soaked corn. Sometimes we put down two pieces of panel to keep the holes even smaller. Thanks again for your comment and thanks for watching.

Good comment, thanks for watching
I know that this was published 2 months ago but if you see this I was wondering, I noticed below in the comments that you said that you had friends that enjoy the meat. Don’t you have to worry about eradication programs that use poison? And finally, great video!
Thanks for your great question. We live in a small community with mostly cattle farmers; the game warden eats breakfast at our only restaurant in town and can be found there and talked with. I will ask him again about this, years ago I asked and there was no chance of that happens. I am not sure about the use of poisons in this area today, like back then, I don’t think it could be hidden or someone would be licensed to use it because of all the “By” kills including the cattle, deer, squirrels and protected birds of prey along with ducks and fish getting into bait that is poisoned or animals lying dead in the fields. I will get an update from the game warden or just talk to some of my hunting buddies that are closer to him and land owners. Thanks again for your question and thanks for watching.

I wondered if that might be it. Seems to sit them right down.
What would be cool is if you could come up with some kind of targeting app to coordinate the targeting of a herd of pigs and have each person in the team assigned a hog and then simultaneously go bang so none of them can run away. It would make a tremendous racket tho.
Yes Sir, that would be awesome, however the knuckleheads I hunt with can never seem to get together at the same time due to work and wife chores. Maybe it will work on a smaller scale, but that’s a great ideal. Thanks for your suggestion and as always, thanks a bunch for watching my videos.

Enjoy your videos. Great shooting. Would you mind sharing how much you get paid per pig by the processor?
Sorry for the confusion, friends and I process our own meat for family for free. Most of our friends have learned how to process their own free meat. The only hogs not cleaned by us are the large boars, which is not the best wild hog to eat. Those hogs are taken to a man in town that cleans them and then charges a small fee for his work of process the meat. How much that is, I do not know. We cannot sell wild game by law that is why friends and family get their meat for free. Hope this helps, thanks for your question and thanks for watching.

Good shooting! I enjoyed your video. I'm in East Texas, Rusk Co. I'll be following you and would be interested on how the ATN continues to work for you.
Sounds good, I had a ATN X-Sight ll in 5x20 for over 5 years, now I am using the new ATN 4K Pro 5x20. It is still new to me so it will be a bit before I know all the ins and outs. There is always a learning curve with any new electronic device and due to the lack of ammo right now, I am not able to shoot as much as I need to.

@@tomhjr63 I know ATNs had gotten a bad rap. Especially their thermals. But all the videos I see look great.
@@tomhjr63 What type of illuminator are you using?
@@rodgers6209 For almost six years now I have used the ATN IR850 Pro Illuminator. When I traded in my ATN X-Sight ll scope for the new ATN 4K Pro scope I found thru research that allot of people are using the Stream Light 88704 Super TAC IR. I bought one on amazon for about $95.00. This Stream light is about 50% brighter than what I have been using. I just put it on a few days ago and have not made any videos with it yet but all future videos will be with the Stream Light 88704 illuminator. The ATN IR850 Pro has been a great illuminator for me but I have found what I think to be a better one for my use. Thanks for your question.
Just got ATN 4K Pro, heard a lot of negative about them but mine works fine so far. Cool vid.
Hope you enjoy your new scope. Let me know if there is a question you think I might be able to answer. Here are some tricks I have learned and use a lot. Tip 1; Hold the back button down while turning zoom wheel to change brightness setting, I keep a setting of 1 at night time because anything brighter will jack with my eye in the dark. Tip 2; When zeroing the scope, after the shot at any zoom power, zoom to full power before going into “Zero Reticle”. Doing this the reticle will only move a point at a time, there for you will be making small moves as you zero the scope. And before you shoot again, back out of “Zero Reticle” and put your zoom where ever you like it. I have two different bullets and four saved settings. Both bullets are saved and 75 yards and saved at 120 yards. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.

If you watch that video you will understand as to how I am able to take them down with one bullet with the proper shot placement. Video is a little slow but very educational.

Great fun!! Well executed placement. Enjoyed it thanks for the adventure.
You are one of several people have noticed the shot the placement. Good eye, we really enjoy reading comments like yous, thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.
@@tomhjr63 I enjoyed the shooting. I liked the coordination as well. I did not realize the were an evasive species in the US.
@@SheepDogActual Yes Sir, if not kept in check they will over run the property. Thanks again for your comment.
@@tomhjr63 ready for the next. I have a Ruger precision just waiting lol
@@SheepDogActual Awesome, thanks again for watching
This video was awesome. What gun is that?
Thank you so much for your comment. The 30 caliber AR rifle in 300 blackout was made by AAC, however I don't think AAC makes the complete rifle any more but this is a link to what I have. thanks for your question. www.personaldefenseworld.com/2015/12/the-aac-mpw-rifle-silent-knockdown-power/#aac-mpw-1

Arrebentou! (Quer dizer, muito bom). Saudações do Brasil.
Great comment, thanks for watching
Hell yeah. So satisfying to watch
Yes Sir, thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.
@@tomhjr63 Now you gotta go get a bunch of tannerite, bait them in with a hog buffet, shoot the tannerite and watch the piggies fly. I love when they do that! It's expensive but you can get 10 at a time lol.
Excellent video and shooting skills, loved and enjoyed it! Some more....
It always good to hear from others that love this sport just as much as I do. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.
What caliber rifle are you using, also what ammunition and grain.
Thanks for your question; rifle is chambered in .30-caliber, 300 Blackout. Ammo is hard to come by today but I prefer to use a 110 grain bullet. Ammo is Barnes Vor-Tx , 110 GR. Mushrooms on impact like a big dog. I am not suppressed and do not use subsonic rounds. One of my feeders is at 75 yards and the other one is at 85 yards. Thanks for watching my videos.
Thật tuyệt vời, cám ơn bạn đã cho xem video hay.
You are more than welcome, so glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for your comment and thanks for watching.
I love animals, but found this very satisfying to watch. They are destructive pests that need removing. Would a silencer make a difference? Great work.
Well said, most all the hog hunters I know are animal lovers just like me and my wife. These animals are so destructive to our 300 acre cattle farm but are year round fun to hunt for us along with family and friends. If it was not for the free meat we get while thinning them out we would have to look at a more professional way of removing them. I know a few hunters that use silencers and they say it is not much help because a large bore rifle stills has a unnatural boom in the woods that sends them running. I really enjoy making these videos for people like you that know what they are looking at. Thanks so much for your comment.
@@tomhjr63 Thank you Tom. I guess economic realities necessitate pest removal on a large farm. They are dispatched cleanly and there is no suffering involved. Keep up the great work. 👍
Well done. There should be no requirements for licensing to hunt feral pigs. Get the gd government out of the way.
I agree! In Texas you do not need a hunting license to harvest feral hogs in most cases. Everybody that I know of hunts other game so we all have a hunting license. If someone in Texas is only going to hunt feral hogs, they would not need a hunting license as long as they are on their own land or have permission to hunt hogs from the land owner. You will need a hunting license if you are hunting hogs on public land. Texas is working with us, maybe other states will soon follow. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching
In Texas you only need the land owner’s permission. No license needed for feral pigs.
Nice shootin' boss!

There's only TWO .... uses for a gun and this is one of them !!!!

Amen to that! I’m in southern Cali and we don’t have this problem where I live. Hopefully one day I can go to the south on a hunting trip. Looks like a helluva time tbh
@@Remedy_SZN year round fun brother, there will be hogs waiting here with your name on them. 🐷

3:33 I just knew that was going to be a 2 for 1.
Good eye buddy, I did wait until I got a chance to make one shot with two kills. Other one made it about 40-50 yards before he was collected for frying pan processing. Thanks for your comment. More to come.
@@tomhjr63 man how I enjoy the sport. th-cam.com/video/mjOse3_uqko/w-d-xo.html
Great stuff, how far away were you? They seem oblivious to your presence. (Washington DC)
Good question, I am sitting in one of the box blinds that my wife and I built. I guess since the blinds have been there so long the wild live see it as part of the surrounds. We built one in 2013 and the other in 2014 and have not moved them. One of my feeders is at 75 yards and the other one is at 85 yards. I am not suppressed and do not use subsonic rounds. Thanks for your comment and question and thank you for watching my videos.

It’s sad seeing the babies all terrified it’s not like humans aren’t an invasive species of they’re own magnitude. But it has to be done they destroy so much and have no natural predators. As long as it’s clean shots and they don’t suffer too much. I guess it’s the closest humanly way possible to address this problem for now.
Very well said my friend, that is the best explanation I have ever heard or seen. I really enjoy making these videos for people like you that know what they are looking at. Thanks so much for your comment.
Light'em Up!!!
Yes Sir, we are doing this year round. As long as we can find ammo, it is on. Thanks for your comment.
Nice shooting. What calibre ?

Awesome, South East Texas?
Yes Sir, the area just south of Houston and north of Galveston Texas. Thanks for watching
@@tomhjr63 I duck hunt in Winnie area, South of Beaumont
@@EastTexasOutlaws Cool, man is a small world. I have some older cousins that live in the Lumberber area. Glad to hear from a neighbor, enjoy your time hunting, it is addictive and very fun for everyone.
Nice vireo which scope is that one i would like to buy one myself we have alot of hogs here in arkansas were we hunt
I have used the ATN X-Sight ll for about 5 1/2 years. I traded that scope in on the new ATN X-Sight 4K Pro. Due to the lack of ammo right now I have not been able to use this 4K Pro scope as much as I want to. In this video I am using the new 4K Pro at 3:40 thru 4:44 only, all the other clips are from the X-Sight ll. I am still in the learning stages with this scope but more videos will come later. Thanks for your question and thanks for watching my videos.
Which rifle and ammo are used? Did you connect the ATN 4K Pro to which recording system? Thanks man and keep on this way!
Thanks for your comment and question. I don't think AAC makes the complete rifle any more but this is a link to what I have.

Ammo is Barnes Vor-Tx , 110 GR. I am not suppressed and do not use subsonic rounds. One of my feeders is at 75 yards and the other one is at 85 yards. Ammo is hard to find these day so I am shooting whatever I can get my hands on as long it holds a good pattern from my rifle.
I know you know the ATN scopes have their own recording built in; I use Roxio Creator NXT-7 to edit my videos taken with the ATN scope. Hope a answered your question and thanks for watching.
@@tomhjr63 you made my day! It's the very first time I get such an exhaustive answer from a TH-camr! You're a real gentleman beside a great shot. I understand the issue of getting ammo nowadays but don't give up, here in Europe it's even harder
@@d8889 Wow, I though we were bad off, I think I feel better now knowing Europe is have a harder time. Thanks again for your comment.
@@tomhjr63 thanks again and all the best. I hope we won't need ammo for self defence soon here across the pond
@@d8889 If so, we will stand side by side. Stay safe brother.
Awesome shots dude 👍
