Came up to my other hunting tract yesterday to turkey hunt and try out my thermal scope on these hogs. 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...

Had to be a blast! Did it feel like cheatin'? If so, it will soon be illegal. After all, everything fun seems to be illegal these days. Yeah....but these hogs are public enemy #1.

So you didn`t keep any meat? Haha, here we go, lol!! They did the same thing about my pigs I shot. 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.

What thermal are you using AGM Rattler V2 384 resolution That’s the one I have, not the best out there but it does the job, no pigs here but it works great on our local coyotes

Yessir...but at $2500...I'm more than satisfied. 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.
