Simple question. If so what sight do you use for the task?

Probably going out back for coons tonight.

I have lots more to rid the place of.

S&W M&P 1522 that I have one of my Super Hogster thermals on.

Killed some with it already. It works great. smile

I hunt a lot at night, usually use a spotlight and a scoped rifle. Works just fine. Hogs and raccoons. Occasionally I will set up and call coyotes.

That one is a Bering Optics Super Hogster. They are kinda spendy... https://outdoorlegacygear.com/colle...ermal-rifle-scope?variant=32508616540234

Example of what it does... (Yes, I miss some, but killed 6 in just a couple of minutes. grin )





I posted a much cheaper night vision scope in your thread in the optics forum.

Dang, that 3rd (?) one was tough. Was that on your .308?

Probably knocked the population back for what, about 6 months?

4x scope and a spotlight. If there is snow on the ground and the moon is full then the scope is good by itself up close.

Not even close. We hunted that farm again a few nights later and saw 150 hogs in it, in several groups.

Night is about the only time ta catch a porky ravaging your trees. Occasionally spot piggys and other marauders in the day but if it is nocturnal best to hunt at night...what to use? It depends on the range..

Tell that to the Rangers (Army) that used to stalk around GSNP hunting invasive piggys...

I was just calculating you killed 3 sows, but some of them piglets got away, and in 6 months the females will be breeding like momma was, and right back where you started.

I'm guessing when you were shooting over to the right the hot spots at the tree line were more hogs then? I wondered if they might be deer, but they didn't look tall enough.

Anyway, cool video, thanks for posting that.
