Yeah, awesome evening! 00:03:02.880 --> 00:03:06.200 Here’s a pretty big field that sweeps 00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:09.200 around the islets. 00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:13.040 Then you can cross an asphalt road that I showed you on the map. 00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:15.880 Then another big field. 00:03:15.880 --> 00:03:22.160 It's wheat, it’s starting to get a bit hard now, but they're out here a lot. 00:03:22.160 --> 00:03:25.480 Just two evenings ago, there was a guy out here, there were boars everywhere. 00:03:25.480 --> 00:03:31.560 The other field on the other side will give you significantly better wind. 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:37.000 We focus on brown boars, yearling boars. 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:41.360 Lone yearlings that you can really see are all alone. 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:45.200 Absolutely no sows, and 100% males. 00:03:45.200 --> 00:03:47.520 That’s what we shoot here. 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.680 Cool, any questions? - No questions. 00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:54.440 Crystal clear. - Crystal clear, cool, cool. 00:03:54.440 --> 00:03:57.120 Let’s see how this goes. Fingers crossed. 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:02.160 Dropping Tottie off here, and then we’ll head to other areas a bit further away. 00:04:02.160 --> 00:04:05.400 So we cover everything properly. 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.080 I think it’ll be good. - It will be. 00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:10.760 Happy hunting! 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.880 This is absolutely wonderful, I completely love it. 00:04:19.880 --> 00:04:24.880 Just the beginning of a new night. 00:04:24.880 --> 00:04:28.240 You have no idea what’s going to happen. 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:31.480 It's going to be an absolutely fantastic night. 00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:34.720 Almost windless... 00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:39.600 Barely a cloud in the sky. Well, one cloud. 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:46.480 We’re out in wheat fields that are nicely ripe. 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.520 And there are lots of boars here. 00:04:48.520 --> 00:04:53.440 So this is going to be great fun. I’m so happy. 00:04:53.440 --> 00:04:56.440 This is the life. 00:05:00.200 --> 00:05:04.520 Alright folks, it’s time. 00:05:04.520 --> 00:05:08.320 Dropped Tottie off in a field a bit away. 00:05:08.320 --> 00:05:12.520 Where there’s been a lot of activity. 00:05:12.520 --> 00:05:15.240 We’ve gone to check another field. 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.520 Already on the way out, 00:05:17.520 --> 00:05:20.560 on one of the fields where we hunt, there were already boars out. 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:24.360 So they were early. 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:28.960 Generally speaking, now that we’re this far into the grain hunting season, 00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:38.640 they come out later and later, or when it gets dark. They don’t feel as safe anymore. But over there, they were already out. 00:05:38.640 --> 00:05:44.440 As you might see, I’m using a lamp. Going a bit old-school. 00:05:44.440 --> 00:05:49.200 I’m going to scan the field with a Hikmicro Habrok 4K. 00:05:49.200 --> 00:05:56.240 I’ve tested it a few times now, and honestly, it’s really worth the price. 00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:06.400 It has both a thermal sensor, Let me make sure I’m pointing correctly, yes, thermal and digital 00:06:06.400 --> 00:06:11.080 with IR. 00:06:11.080 --> 00:06:18.600 Really good for spotting the boars so you can switch over, zoom in, and look with the 4K sensor on the digital. 0:06:18.600,0:06: 22.600 In this field a few days ago, I was after a pretty big boar 00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:26.400 for about 2 hours, it kept moving around. 00:06:26.400 --> 00:06:31.880 Never got a good position. 00:06:31.880 --> 00:06:34.600 It slipped away, but... 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.760 when it ran off the field, new boars came, 00:06:37.760 --> 00:06:42.040 a sow with five yearling boars. 00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.760 I got a shot at one after 20 minutes. 00:06:44.760 --> 00:06:50.280 So there are boars, so now I think we should go out, check, and give it a try. 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:37.360 Looks calm. 00:07:41.880 --> 00:07:44.920 I’m scanning with this. 00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:48.480 Hikmicro Lynx. Incredibly small and light. 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:53.200 But it’s enough to spot if there’s game here. 00:07:53.200 --> 00:07:58.520 Sometimes you just see a couple of spots. Maybe a pair of ears. 00:07:58.520 --> 00:08:04.840 Then you can bring out better equipment, like my scope, 00:08:04.840 --> 00:08:06.800 Hikmicro Stellar. 00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:11.440 With that, you can adjust and get really good sharpness 00:08:11.440 --> 00:08:15.480 and see better what it is you’ve spotted. 00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.240 Those two work really well together. 00:08:23.280 --> 00:08:26.280 It’s a completely wonderful night to sneak around here. 00:08:27.320 --> 00:08:30.240 About 26 degrees warm. 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.600 Animals everywhere, rustling in the bushes. 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:35.840 Rustling in the forest, in the fields, 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:40.520 So far we haven’t seen any wild boars, but... 00:08:40.520 --> 00:08:43.840 It’s still early, it hasn’t even gotten dark yet. 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:47.120 Now we have two places we’ll start with. 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:51.080 The first field we’ll come to with the wrong wind here. 00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:54.880 On the right side. But it’s very active. 00:08:54.880 --> 00:08:59.440 If nothing happens there, we’ll move on to the left field, 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:03.240 a long, narrow field where we’ll have perfect wind. 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:06.040 That’s the one we believe in the most tonight. 00:09:07.560 --> 00:09:11.400 We’ll head to the edge of the forest instead of the spray track. 00:09:11.400 --> 00:09:15.000 We’re way too far out on the field here. 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:20.320 So I think we’ll go up to the edge of the forest instead, it’s probably better considering the wind. 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:25.360 I see there’s something small around. 00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.440 I think there are at least three boars, 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.840 One bigger and two smaller. 00:09:54.840 --> 00:10:00.960 But the reason I’m standing here is partly because we’re a bit higher here, 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:03.440 up on the road, so you can see down over the wheat. 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:09.760 You have a better chance of not disturbing them, the wind is good, but... 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.640 I don’t want to go out into the wheat and disturb them without being able to see, so here we can observe for a while. 00:10:16.640 --> 00:10:24.160 Let them “settle in.” Those ones probably came out just as we arrived too. 00:10:24.160 --> 00:10:31.440 But they’re slowly moving this way along the edge too, we’ll give it a bit and see. 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.880 Maybe they’ll pass a spray track too, 00:10:33.880 --> 00:10:36.400 Then it’ll be even easier to judge. 00:10:36.400 --> 00:10:40.400 As I said, I like to take my time, 00:10:40.400 --> 00:10:42.960 I have a pretty good sense of the groups here. 00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:45.960 That could be the group I shot at last time. 00:10:48.640 --> 00:10:51.640 There are large areas too, could be new boars that have wandered in. 00:10:53.920 --> 00:10:56.520 There’s some animal over there now. 00:10:56.520 --> 00:10:59.320 It looks like a boar, but... 00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.960 It’s far away, we need to get closer. 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:06.720 When I stepped up on the stone, the wheat is really high, so it wasn’t until 00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:10.200 I got on the stone that I saw a group of boars 00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:13.520 about 300-400 meters away. 00:11:13.520 --> 00:11:17.560 Down in a dip too. 00:11:17.560 --> 00:11:21.920 But the wind is perfect, so we’ll try to go that way, 00:11:21.920 --> 00:11:26.880 try to find a spray track so we can quietly and nicely approach. 00:11:35.640 --> 00:11:38.320 There are deer everywhere! 00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:45.120 Three deer there, two deer there, and two just passed over there. 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.640 And a deer barking up in the forest now. 00:11:48.640 --> 00:11:53.120 Right now we’re totally surrounded by deer. 00:11:55.200 --> 00:12:00.640 It's cozy, it’s nice, it’s lovely. 00:12:05.760 --> 00:12:07.760 What I mainly look at 00:12:07.760 --> 00:12:10.240 to judge the size of a boar 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:12.560 is... 00:12:12.560 --> 00:12:17.480 Of course the height of the wheat, but it can vary across the field. 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:24.680 But mainly the ears, the ears turn into real oven mitts 00:12:24.680 --> 00:12:28.360 when the boars get big, and if you have the chance to see the tail, 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:37.080 when they’re wagging and twitching, the longer the tail, the older the boar. 00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:42.920 Especially, they say, it’s the bristles on the end that get longer. 00:12:42.920 --> 00:12:46.080 The older they get. 00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:00.600 That was a deer too... 00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:06.720 It’s good when you pull out the proper scope, 00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:10.040 zoom in and adjust the focus, then you can really see 0: 13:10.040,0:13:14.320 from a distance exactly what it is. 00:13:17.680 --> 00:13:20.120 The boars we were sneaking up on earlier 00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:24.320 headed into the forest. I think they were spooked. 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:25.840 We’ll circle around this little islet too, 00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:28.840 and see what happens there. 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:31.920 Now they’re several boars, which makes it easier to sneak up on them, 00:13:31.920 --> 00:13:34.640 because they distract each other with all that smacking. 00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:39.760 If it had been just one... 00:13:39.760 --> 00:13:42.760 It’s much harder. 00:14:05.640 --> 00:14:09.760 Let’s see if I get a shot, they’re standing too close to shoot. 00:14:09.760 --> 00:14:12.200 Two of them are standing very close. 00:14:13.640 --> 00:14:16.800 One has moved out... 00:15:47.920 --> 00:15:50.920 Finally. 00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:59.200 My goodness! They were hard to separate. 00:16:01.880 --> 00:16:04.480 Let’s go check it out. 00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:08.760 Now we heard a shot not far from here, 00:16:08.760 --> 00:16:13.520 hopefully it was Simon who got some hunting luck! 00:16:13.520 --> 00:16:15.560 Waiting for a report. 00:16:19.680 --> 00:16:22.360 Well, here it is. 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.160 It was a little brown boar, 00:16:26.680 --> 00:16:28.600 a bit high, but that’s classic 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:30.800 when hunting in the wheat. 00:16:30.800 --> 00:16:34.440 Especially when they’re this small. 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:35.400 There it is. 00:16:35.400 --> 00:16:40.240 It's really easy to miss, especially when you’re shooting with a lamp. 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:42.240 You think you can see a lot. 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.800 Thermally, it’s almost easier to see and know how 00:16:45.800 --> 00:16:50.320 much they should lower, because you can get the silhouette from the heat downwards. 00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:53.120 But still, it worked fine shooting with a lamp too. 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:58.440 As I said, nice little meat boar, Brownie, 00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:03.000 gilt, female boar. 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.600 This one, you’ve already seen how it works, but, 00:17:07.600 --> 00:17:10.200 really nice 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:11.080 actually. 00:17:11.080 --> 00:17:14.040 Great tool for grain hunting. 00:17:14.040 --> 00:17:18.160 Here, you would have seen clearly if there were any small ones running around, 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:18.920 which there weren’t. 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:21.800 But it took a little while. 00:17:21.800 --> 00:17:24.160 What time is it? 00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:27.520 From the time we saw them, let’s say, 00:17:27.520 --> 00:17:31.680 40 minutes, 35, 40 like that. 0:17:31.680,0:1733.920 But that’s how it is.
