NightHogsDotcom Night Vision Wild Hog Hunting

That was great!!!!5 stars

I did a little bit of deer hunting this year in a relatively open pecan orchard. After being busted by deer in the orchard before daylight, I started wearing goggles to the blind which enabled me to spot deer and adjust my approach in order to keep from spooking them on the way to the blind.

Wow, this is something totally new to me! It certainly might allow for us to get control of the state's feral hog problem.

Shoot, I'd like some night-vision goggles just for making the 1 1/2 mile walk into the woods I have to do for deer hunting. My biggest problem is getting turned around in the woods, plus I worry about stepping on a poisoning snake in warmer weather.

The video is shot through a pvs-14 mounted to a dvd camcorder. The rifescope is an atn 7900.

What brand and model of the night vision scope used in this video?

Thanks

I was thinking it had to help, especially when you're shooting maybe 200 yards away. I can get off two shots usually with the AR, but anymore than that is tough.

nice video either way! keep dropping the hammer on those pigs

That is true most of the time. However, on occasion the suppressor does make multiple shots possible. We have shot as many as 4 out of the same group and the weekend of Thanksgiving (2008) my 17 year old nephew hunted with me and shot 3 hogs out of a group of 5. Two major benefits to suppressors--hogs 100 yards away don't spook at all and if hunted often, they do not spook so bad they move out of the area.

It seemed like the suppresor didn't help much. I was thinking of getting one and try to pull off multiple shots, but it seems they still run at the impact of the bullet.

nice vid :) 5/5

I bought the gun and had it shipped to Doug Melton of SRT arms in Arizona to have him make and install a suppressor. It is now a class 3 weapon and with it goes the necessary NFA transfer stamp as applied for with the ATF. A suppressed gun without this stamp is not legal to possess with the possible exception of law enforcement (not sure). Thanks for the question.
