I watched several of your videos and would like to ask what equipment you are using? What scope and camera mainly? I have never seen a tripod mount. What a great idea. Did you buy it or make it? Sorry for so many questions but I liked what I saw.

And yep, thats a nasty looking abscess

I wouldn't be surprised to find a .22 bullet somewhere under that abscess. I know of people that just shoot them with .22's so they will go somewhere else to die. Tough way to treat any animals as far as I am concerned.

The tri pod mount looks to be a hog saddle http://stores.hogsaddle.com/mod7-hog-saddle/.

If you have a Manfrotto tripod you can also use the LaRue Mount if you have a section of 1913/accessory rail mounted on the forend of your gun. https://www.larue.com/category/larue...rotto-adapter/

Scope is a Pulsar Apex 50a Thermal (no longer available- new).
Tripod and Tripod Headunit is a Manfrotto (no longer available- news. Got it on Craigslist for $25.00).
Rifle Mount is a HOG SADDLE.

It might have been interesting to back off 100 or 200 feet and lance that thing with a bullet just to see what came out.

Do it from FAR away.

That's just disgusting. Not messing with that. Especially where it is located.
