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 RUclips 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.
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 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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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. :-)
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!
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.
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!
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
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. ; )
The path of least resistance to the brain, which is about the size of a goose egg, is broadside about halfway between the ear and eye (in the temple). When the hog lifts its head after each bite of corn to look around seems to present the most stable target... and a stable rest for the rifle is also required - at least in my case. I think this hog was well over 200 lbs.
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 !!
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.
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

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!!
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"

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
This video will make Bill Ruger glow in his grave, and Julia Child just plain blush. That recipe is worth trying out. Thanks.
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.
A gentleman of the Republic of Texas! Good hunting and fine cookin'.
Great video and Great shooting and Great Food!👍🏼🇱🇷
i am learning that 22lr and 22 pellet rifles are no joke for this size or smaller of game. AWESOME VIDEO AND MEAL
I like how the video cuts to straight cooking 😂👍🏿
Jim Thomas, you are a good man. Good hunter, good cook, and a good husband.
Best dam video in RUclips 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.
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!!!
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!
JimmyGunXD556 bsufil 😍🙄😁
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...
😂😂😂 broooooooo. I wasn’t expecting that ending at all 😂 So smooth and casual
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.
Looks like some variation of a bear from a distance. Love the instant cut from the shot to the pan, haha
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.
Awesome video from soup to nuts, even cooking dinner for the Lady of the house. Great upload!
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
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!
Almost chewed my arm off waiting to see the finished product. That was nice looking
Looked good to me. A 22 in the right spot will do just fine, and that recipe had me drooling.
A " Thumbs up " & MMMMMMM,!!!! You are a winner my man!!!!
what a pitty, internet don't bring us the cooking smell yet
VANGUARD 300
Was thinking the same thing
The ending is the best part 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
God bless Texas and Texans!
Austin, yes. Texas as a whole, nah.
This guy blows the $1K 10/22 phenomenon out of the water!
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!
That sure looks good, Mr. Thomas!

For such a short video - it certainly was both interesting and entertaining. Nothing wrong on a 'hunting & gathering' channel - in showing the kill.
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...😜
Seriously.. This is the right way to do a hunting video...Thank you..
That would be a damn good enchilada filling too my friend!!!yeeeeew!!!
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.
That's a serious amount of hot peppers. I thought she was going to spit it out. But that's just me. Great video!
Great vid!!! Slow is smooth and smooth is fast!! Great job!
Looked so good I tried to give you two thumbs up ! 8 )
VEry cool video!!! The pretty lady at the end enjoying the grub was a nice touch very rarely seen....
I watched it without sound...great video, and even better bowl of yumminess...
Haha... Thanks !
I find that the video cuts from the kill right to the pan to be really satisfying.
One word ( YUMMY! ) 🤗 Thank you for sharing.
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.
Instant transition from the shot to meat cookin is sooo satisfying
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.

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).
Great video! I came just for the 10/22 and I ended up staying the whole video
Out doors Martha Stewart haha you're the man.
Came for the rifle, stayed for the grub.
Great video.
I can't believe you take small hogs with 22lr. Amazing.
its 1:30am and now I'm hungry!! ha! great video!
I always like the hunt/ cooking videos. Nice to learn a new recipe
Awesome to see such a supportive wire! Nice job!
Wow!...great from start to finish. thank you
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.
Wrote that recipe down. Looked incredible. Thanks for sharing it!
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.
The Mrs. looks like your Pork Recipe, Gets her approval, Thumbs up.
Great idea Jim, my crock pot has been collecting dust
Thank you for sharing sir✌️looks good
I like how this turned into a cooking show. Now I'm going to go shoot a boar and cook
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.....

The hunt was good, but the cooking was even better.
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.
Very good beer. I finally got to try some in Colorado.
hell of a recipe and hell of a shot. nice vid.
Thanks Octavious !
Best hunting video ive ever seen
Nice Shoot and Recipe MMMMM
Curious what the range was ?
You need your own hunting show, everything from the weapon, the bait, to the kill, to the meal...
Love hog hunting, and love the cap you are wearing... Gig ‘em!!
Great now I’m hungry...I need to cook this recipe that looked really good.
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.
That is what Texas is all about! Great video!
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!
That spicy pork stew looked delicious. Mmm.
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 :-)
Well.....now I am super hungry!!!! That looks amazing!!!
Congratulations. That was great.
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 !
Love it. Keep them videos coming 🤣
Came for the gun but staying for that delicious looking food
A HUNT, CLEAN, AND COOK IN LESS THEN 5 MINUTES? YOUR GOOD.
I was waiting for you to add the kitchen sponge and your left sock to the pan. Looks great.
I can’t handle the spice anymore, but that sure looked good! Take care.
Out in my neck of the woods we call that Hobo stew good stuff mans kitchen
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.
0h yeah, Jim. I also live in Tejas myself. I live in East side of Tejas.
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.

The hawg has night vision !!!
For that shot to be reliable, did you hit the hog in the ear or eye? Also, what was the weight of the animal? Food looked seriously tasty! Good video!
The path of least resistance to the brain, which is about the size of a goose egg, is broadside about halfway between the ear and eye (in the temple). When the hog lifts its head after each bite of corn to look around seems to present the most stable target... and a stable rest for the rifle is also required - at least in my case. I think this hog was well over 200 lbs.
Looks good!!. Shot and food.. but i still wondering a drop a hog to 22.cal??!.
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!!!

I'm using a Kidd drop in one stage trigger. I smile every time I pull the trigger.
Ahhh Yes, The "finer" things in life... gotta LOVE IT !!! :-)
hmmmm good eating especially cuz you harvested it, process, and cook the meat your self.
I just bought a savage 22lr not a fan small caliber but why u think of the savage line
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'm hungry for some bacon...Canadian back bacon!
