John and I do a night hunt setup overlooking the new Hog Feeder to harvest a wild boar hog that's been coming near the feeder - but won't come inside the fence.
I don't know what just happened. My first thought was cool, "takedown of a hog with a 22, I've gotta see this." Now all of a sudden I'm crockpot shopping. Lol Excellent video my friend, keep up the good work.
I always come back to this video once a year. I love the hunt footage and it always cracks me up when you immediately cut to that sizzling meat. Good stuff. 👍
The Big Pickle nothing ethical about using 22lr on a wild boar. In most states its illegal to hunt anything bigger than a rabbit with a 22lr. You should be using a bigger caliber if your intention is to be ethical and humane. While it's true that a skilled shooter can kill just about anything with a 22lr. The reality is most people are not marksmen. It leaves way too much of a chance that the shot might not be a kill shot, and essentially would prolong the pain. 22lr should be used ofr hunting big game only in a survival related circumstance.
This was a truly well made video. Not only do I know a 10/22 could take down a boar, but now I know how to make a slow cooked meal from boar meat. 👍Job well done!
Best dam video in TH-cam history. Straight from dropping that beast with a 10/22, to cooking like a king, then treating a lady like a real gentleman. Thanks for the video my Brother.
I clicked on to spectate for the 10/22 kill and was surprised by the meat in the pot addition .. I love and found some humor in your presentation so much I became a subscriber and I rang the bell for more
That looked tasty! Good to know a well-placed shot from a .22lr rifle can take a hog. I wonder how far out he was? It was a good shot, with the wind and all!
I like the shooting and cooking. Living the hunter's life. I like it. I missed the hunting that I had back in Texas. You can try smoking the meat for 2 hours with some peach wood or other fruit woods, then saute and then slow roaster..the smoke adds another layer of complex and buttery fruity flavors. It will be even better. The meat absorbs meat until it reaches 140 F. I usually hang the meat on hooks and have the coals and a metal sheet with some small holes above the grill (to keep possible flames from reaching upwards).
oh Mama , very gentleman man, love hunting, cooking and don’t forget family come first... i wish you and family much love and of course happiness Sir...
I am an old 71 year old Texan. I don't enjoy killing anything but I really do love eating meat, shooting my various firearms, and the challenge of good shot placement.
After you dump the meat and veg into the crock pot you should deglaze the pan with a little more beer and add it in! Helps get those delicious brown bits stuck to the pan
Took your advice and bought a Ruger 10/22 and with my optics I am able to hit a Quarter at 75 yards. Going to Alabama this hunting season and if I am lucky, I'll post my hog. Again, thanks for your advice... Happy hunting.....
I know you will be happy with your Ruger 10/22. Be sure to check any applicable state hunting laws regarding minimum caliber size for hunting hogs in Alabama or any land owner rules where you will be hunting... and let me know if you are able to post a pic. Best wishes on your hunt... in the mean time practice, practice, practice. :-)
I love watching ear hole shots. No tracking needed and very humane. Heart and lung shots are for the birds and those needing exercise if you are within 50 yards or less with a .22.
Jim Bo, I'm quickly becoming a fan brother. I love the Lone Star state and my "ex is from Texas". I love my firearms and I can appreciate a hunter that eat his kill and that food at the end looks so good.
Awesome shooting & good cooking. ... just a thought: a little flag/ribbon on or near that fence post would have helped tattle-tell on the wind (but you didn't need it after all is said and done). That wind sure was GETTIN'-IT; nice shot placement brother 👍👍 And GOD BLESS America 🇺🇸
that does look tasty .we have increasing numbers of thease now in the uk .not something iv hunted before but something im going to be huntin soon .this will be my first recipe to try
Jim thomas is the best sniper I have ever seen !! The patient he has to wait for a hog to be still to get that perfect shot between the ear and the eye is awesome!!! The only shot that I've seen that came close to that was the navy seal that shot that pirate boat in somalia !! Great cookin Jim as well fine dining on swine all natural fed great shooting and cooking jim !!
Very nice! I’d just add that it’s good to use the back of the knife blade to scrape ingredients off the cutting board so you don’t dull your knife edge.
I noticed that you aimed for just behind the ear at the soft tissue. Would a forehead shot not been powerful enough @ 1000 fps to penetrate, or do you think it would've just shattered the round on the skull? Also, did he drop right after the shot or was he able to run at all afterwards? Great video. Love my Ruger 10/22 Takedown.
yeh im from middle england but now live in south wales .i have plenty of rabbit hunts back home and decided to look for another couple hunts local to my new home .and then came accros a chap who has a genuune problem with thease pigs so now im applying for a new rifle.this dose leave me with a small problem tho it means im going to need a biger freazer .cant wait to try the above recipe tho
Feral hog is top notch table fare. I've seen the meat of some that was blood red like beef instead of pink like most pork. But it's got a lot of flavor and cooks up nice.
Great video Jim! I've been dying for years to come down there and get me my first hog. By the way, I've heard that wild hog can be "gamey". Did you have to brine the meat before cooking it and if so, how did you to that to take the "natural" flavor out of it? Thanks again!
I just went thru your past videos and noticed it is the ATN 3x12, are you still happy with it? I have been thinking about buying one, but I guess they now have a Gen2 out.
+Mr Kanook Actually, I sold the 3x12 to my buddy and then bought the ATN 5X18... but I wish I had waited for the Gen II - it has a much more accessible focus nob.
too bad no more wild hog to hunt in the Philippines, but Im happy that your video confirms the fact that all you need to kill large games is a subsonic round carefully placed in the brain, but of course the firearms and ammo industry is not just about what works but diversity of products and profit.
loved the video and need to try this recipe on kangaroo but here in Australia you need a bit more power than a.22LR to bring down hogs we have over here.
I have done a little hunting over around Groveton, TX when I was young. Actually, come to think of it, that was my very first nigh hunt. We walked a trail with .410 and .22LR using a flashlight... didn't get anything , but it must have planted the seed for my now penchant for nocturnal hunts... but got to be careful, easy to get lost in that Big Thicket !
He-he. It sure Easy to get Lost in "The Big Thicket". Sure enough is. I know what you mean completely as I am close to that area. I haven't Night Hunted in many many years. I just might have to go and do it again. ; )
RE: 10/22 accuracy tip. The slip fit & V-block barrel mount system common on 10/22 seems to benefit from pressure bedding stock to barrel... yes, unlike most screwed in barrels the common 10/22 does not seem to like free floating especially with bull barrels. Tony Kidd 'of Texas' makes his own version of 10/22 custom {sometimes with Boyd thumbhole laminate stock} such as my brother has. His turns in 1"+1.5" @100 yard groups with the el cheapo Remington Golden bullets. Running Tony Kidd's recoil buffer and the heaviest spring that will still cycle reliably is the best way to hush port popping. His action is slicker than Ruger's so you might want a stiffer recoil spring.
I don't know what just happened. My first thought was cool, "takedown of a hog with a 22, I've gotta see this." Now all of a sudden I'm crockpot shopping. Lol
Excellent video my friend, keep up the good work.
Hahahh ! Thanks Robert.
BEST comment!! HAHA! That was indeed a great shot and I can smell that meal cooking!!
I always come back to this video once a year. I love the hunt footage and it always cracks me up when you immediately cut to that sizzling meat. Good stuff. 👍
I just came to check out the 10/22. Now I'm hungry..
electropentatonic I concur. I miss Texas.
Same lol
I agree
Bwuaahaa me too!
Exactly what happened to me lol
BY FAR THE BEST VIDEO AFTER A KILL SHOT never expected that
Thanks !
@@JimThomasOutdoors You not only very good wild Hogs shooter and a damned good cook and know how to please a woman.... Super job man....👍💪😄
I agree!! Great video!!
i am learning that 22lr and 22 pellet rifles are no joke for this size or smaller of game. AWESOME VIDEO AND MEAL
I came to look at some 22's but I left with a nice recipe
Yep, came for the gun and watched the whole thing!!! Umm, so good!
matthew shawnoo same here man, was looking for some 10-22 action and end up drooling!
matthew shawnoo 💔💔💔😡👿👿👿👿👿😡😡😡😫😫😫🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇦🇹👅👎🏻💔💔💔👎🏻👎🏻😡👅👅👅
Same here
A good clean shot delivering an ethical kill with nothing going to waste that's how hunting is meant to be.
edwardsdeacon "waste"
Some goes to waste; the rest goes to waist. But you have to eat it first. It's all good.
The Big Pickle haha, I missed that one but I immediately caught "meant"
But it will go to your "waist"
The Big Pickle nothing ethical about using 22lr on a wild boar. In most states its illegal to hunt anything bigger than a rabbit with a 22lr.

This video will make Bill Ruger glow in his grave, and Julia Child just plain blush. That recipe is worth trying out. Thanks.
Jim Thomas, you are a good man. Good hunter, good cook, and a good husband.
This was a truly well made video. Not only do I know a 10/22 could take down a boar, but now I know how to make a slow cooked meal from boar meat. 👍Job well done!
Man!!! Good job feeding your home. A man that can do that can survive any situation.

That's how we do it in Texas! From the field to the fry pan! Awesome recipe... Can't wait to try it.. Thanks tons!!!
A gentleman of the Republic of Texas! Good hunting and fine cookin'.
VEry cool video!!! The pretty lady at the end enjoying the grub was a nice touch very rarely seen....
Looks like some variation of a bear from a distance. Love the instant cut from the shot to the pan, haha
That looked tasty! Good to know a well-placed shot from a .22lr rifle can take a hog. I wonder how far out he was? It was a good shot, with the wind and all!
Assuming that 10/22 was chambered for .22lr, that is. I suppose it could have been 22wmr as well.
That's a serious amount of hot peppers. I thought she was going to spit it out. But that's just me. Great video!
now that's how I like my hunting videos done little bit of stalking, show the kill shot and cook it up! love it !big thumbs up!

I like the edit right at the shot. Meat on the table!
Didn't show him go down though. Maybe because it was a sloppy method and the thing ran off.
Yeah that was slick. No drama at the kill.just the absolute bare necessity. Then the cooking.
It's always nice to get some appreciation for all yer hard work and creativity... That batch of pig meat and veggies looks damn good bub!
Awesome video from soup to nuts, even cooking dinner for the Lady of the house. Great upload!
Great Video. Great Shot, That recipe was worthy of a set down dinner with real Forks though. Your taster i s a real champ. thanks for sharing.
I was waiting for you to add the kitchen sponge and your left sock to the pan. Looks great.
I am an old 71 year old Texan. I don't enjoy killing anything but I really do love eating meat, shooting my various firearms, and the challenge of good shot placement.
hmmmm good eating especially cuz you harvested it, process, and cook the meat your self.
After you dump the meat and veg into the crock pot you should deglaze the pan with a little more beer and add it in! Helps get those delicious brown bits stuck to the pan
Good idea... thanks for the tip !
Would've loved to make some homemade chorizo sausage out of that!
Nice pro tip!
Looks good!!. Shot and food.. but i still wondering a drop a hog to 22.cal??!.
For such a short video - it certainly was both interesting and entertaining. Nothing wrong on a 'hunting & gathering' channel - in showing the kill.
Took your advice and bought a Ruger 10/22 and with my optics I am able to hit a Quarter at 75 yards. Going to Alabama this hunting season and if I am lucky, I'll post my hog. Again, thanks for your advice... Happy hunting.....

Great video and Great shooting and Great Food!👍🏼🇱🇷
I like how the video cuts to straight cooking 😂👍🏿
I watched it without sound...great video, and even better bowl of yumminess...
Haha... Thanks !
what a pitty, internet don't bring us the cooking smell yet
VANGUARD 300
Was thinking the same thing
I love watching ear hole shots. No tracking needed and very humane. Heart and lung shots are for the birds and those needing exercise if you are within 50 yards or less with a .22.
😂😂😂 broooooooo. I wasn’t expecting that ending at all 😂 So smooth and casual
Jim Bo, I'm quickly becoming a fan brother. I love the Lone Star state and my "ex is from Texas". I love my firearms and I can appreciate a hunter that eat his kill and that food at the end looks so good.
😋 where in Texas did you say you lived, that looked hella 👍
Awesome shooting & good cooking.
... just a thought: a little flag/ribbon on or near that fence post would have helped tattle-tell on the wind (but you didn't need it after all is said and done). That wind sure was GETTIN'-IT; nice shot placement brother 👍👍
And GOD BLESS America 🇺🇸
Looked good to me. A 22 in the right spot will do just fine, and that recipe had me drooling.
Very good beer. I finally got to try some in Colorado.
That sure looks good, Mr. Thomas!
___
I love my Rossi 62 sa and my lever action 22 and I'm 50
Almost chewed my arm off waiting to see the finished product. That was nice looking
That would be a damn good enchilada filling too my friend!!!yeeeeew!!!
that does look tasty .we have increasing numbers of thease now in the uk .not something iv hunted before but something im going to be huntin soon .this will be my first recipe to try
Oh, I didn't know the UK had wild hogs. Thought it would be to cold for them that far north. Well, hope you can get one !
great video my man 👍 hell of a good shot with a 22 good kill .I'm gonna have to try that recipe for myself and you have a cool wife👍 win win!!
Thanks Holly Bubba... I'll tell you said so :-)
Looked so good I tried to give you two thumbs up ! 8 )
Great vid!!! Slow is smooth and smooth is fast!! Great job!
Thumbs Up..
-
The 10/22 looks great. Any details concerning what all is involved? Thanks
You need your own hunting show, everything from the weapon, the bait, to the kill, to the meal...
Jim thomas is the best sniper I have ever seen !! The patient he has to wait for a hog to be still to get that perfect shot between the ear and the eye is awesome!!! The only shot that I've seen that came close to that was the navy seal that shot that pirate boat in somalia !! Great cookin Jim as well fine dining on swine all natural fed great shooting and cooking jim !!
Waiting long time for the shot....could of shown us the size of the beast .....! Nice rifle and scope......
I just bought a savage 22lr not a fan small caliber but why u think of the savage line
Great video! I came just for the 10/22 and I ended up staying the whole video
Seriously.. This is the right way to do a hunting video...Thank you..
Such a shame the wild hog couldn´t have a taste of that!
stick rammer I mean, I’m sure he licked himself plenty so...😜
Very nice! I’d just add that it’s good to use the back of the knife blade to scrape ingredients off the cutting board so you don’t dull your knife edge.
Wrote that recipe down. Looked incredible. Thanks for sharing it!
I find that the video cuts from the kill right to the pan to be really satisfying.
I noticed that you aimed for just behind the ear at the soft tissue. Would a forehead shot not been powerful enough @ 1000 fps to penetrate, or do you think it would've just shattered the round on the skull? Also, did he drop right after the shot or was he able to run at all afterwards? Great video. Love my Ruger 10/22 Takedown.
Great Hunt & Recipe Jim Thanks for sharing, Wish we had some wild Hogs in my State to Hunt also, Nothing like Wild Boar Pork etc.
yeh im from middle england but now live in south wales .i have plenty of rabbit hunts back home and decided to look for another couple hunts local to my new home .and then came accros a chap who has a genuune problem with thease pigs so now im applying for a new rifle.this dose leave me with a small problem tho it means im going to need a biger freazer .cant wait to try the above recipe tho
I can’t handle the spice anymore, but that sure looked good! Take care.
its 1:30am and now I'm hungry!! ha! great video!
Awesome to see such a supportive wire! Nice job!
I didn't like how he was cooking it. But then he put it a crock pot. So finally got what he was doing. Nice job.
I appreciate the slo-mo shot. I am going to hunt with a .22 and am researching shot placement, good stuff.
Would like to have known a little more about that scope. But damn it did look like some good eating.
I can't believe you take small hogs with 22lr. Amazing.
Out doors Martha Stewart haha you're the man.
I lost the the topic of Ruger 10/22, now I´m thinking of that wild boar recipe
Just ate dinner, now I'm hungry again....thanks haha nice video
Feral hog is top notch table fare. I've seen the meat of some that was blood red like beef instead of pink like most pork. But it's got a lot of flavor and cooks up nice.

Lost me when you added tomatoes. Jalapeño yes love them
Great job on keeping the freezer full and the ladies happy.
Which scope (model) do you use?
I just went thru your past videos and noticed it is the ATN 3x12, are you still happy with it?
I have been thinking about buying one, but I guess they now have a Gen2 out.
+Mr Kanook Actually, I sold the 3x12 to my buddy and then bought the ATN 5X18... but I wish I had waited for the Gen II - it has a much more accessible focus nob.
@@JimThomasOutdoors Sir, what was the distance of your shot on this boar ??
@@yorktown2203 I think it was right 40 yards.
He did not say "which" 22 LR cartridge he used to kill the hog with in his 10/22.??
(Maybe CCI Velocitors.?)
Great idea Jim, my crock pot has been collecting dust
Part Caribbean part Italian maybe part Spanish! Lol. Nice video
You’ve got me wanting to dial in my 10-22. I’ve shot at grounds hogs and raccoons with mine and they kept running. Nice shot!
too bad no more wild hog to hunt in the Philippines, but Im happy that your video confirms the fact that all you need to kill large games is a subsonic round carefully placed in the brain, but of course the firearms and ammo industry is not just about what works but diversity of products and profit.
So, it’s an earhole shot? I’m considering hog hunting with my .17HMR rifle. I might change my mind and go with a .22LR rifle.
loved the video and need to try this recipe on kangaroo but here in Australia you need a bit more power than a.22LR to bring down hogs we have over here.
Warthogs are from Africa where are you living?
This was filmed in Central Texas, USA.
I always like the hunt/ cooking videos. Nice to learn a new recipe
2:31 is the shot
That dish must have been wonderful.
I bet your kitchen smelled good during the cooking!!
Greetings from Mexico!
Instant transition from the shot to meat cookin is sooo satisfying
That looks really good grand dad.
Nice Shoot and Recipe MMMMM
Curious what the range was ?
0h yeah, Jim. I also live in Tejas myself. I live in East side of Tejas.

Austin, yes. Texas as a whole, nah.
What was more interesting? The 10/22 or the meal? Haha.
