Could've killed 3 or 4 hogs yesterday afternoon, but only had turkey gun with me and with $15/round TSS...so, NO! After nightfall, it didn't take long to find targets with the thermal AR. Dropped six hogs/pigs pretty quick. Took pics of em this morning after I was blessed with tagging my 2nd gobbler (see Georgia Turkey Hunting thread). Going back out this evening and tonight with the thermal... Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service

When you can smell the pigs before shooting them, then that’s how it’s gonna taste. Again, sometimes buzzards won’t even touch them, you can bet we ain’t.

Especially with the clarity and battery life...9 plus hrs and it came with 2 batteries and charger. Has audio recording too. I can ID deer or hog at over 400 yds. Can't ask for better without shelling out another $1500 to $2000 extra. The pics I posted...the doe is about 40yds....the group of pigs is 100yds plus. Last edited by Swamp Wolf; 04/06/24 10:28 PM.
