Man all of that sounds like a lot of fun! I will be celebrating when I finally am able to get a thermal. Night vision is fun too but whole new ball game with both. Post up some pictures after your trips, I’d love to see them!

You’re in on that action though ain’t ya?

Yessir, I totally understand that!

Picked this up to use in addition to the Lucky Duck Revolt. This is the Foxpro X2S and I’ve been tinkering with it around the house. Can’t wait to get out and try it. You can definitely feel and hear that it’s a quality call!

Yes, that’s the one I have. This is the newer version: Sightmark Wraith 4K Max 3-24x50 w/IR Digital Night Vision Riflescope, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0874X3BM7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_VC2BZTAT9WHG3890W3ZH I don’t know alleycat72 except for seeing him here on TGO. He probably has much more experience with the NV and Thermal scopes than I do. I just wanted to give you an option to look at until someone else that’s used them more than I have was able to add to the conversation. Good luck in your search, hope you find what works for you soon.

Glad to hear that it looks better than it sounded. Full recovery is in my prayers! You would be happy out to 150 with the Wraith for sure and can always upgrade to a better IR. The factory works fine but there are much better ones available if you find you enjoy messing around with it. I’m going to get a thermal next, but it’s a big, big price difference to get into that game. The technology isn’t cheap so neither are the optics. They sure are fun though! Good luck in the hunt and hope you bust the yote that got your Boston!

Wow! Hope you’re dog is okay and heals up soon. If you want to get a NV setup without breaking the bank but still not be buying junk, look at the Sightmark Wraith. The version I have is the HD version but they came out with a 4K version no. Would definitely help you out with what you’re needing. You can record video day or night with it as well.

Wow, that’s a FAT sucker! Very nice

Had work and other family activities all weekend so did not get out at all. I’ll be working this Saturday as well so Sunday is my only option. No matter what the weather I will be back out. The season is gonna be over and I’ve only had one buck that even somewhat tempted me all year so far. I have plenty of venison in the freezer so waiting on a big buck is fine. But if a fat doe pops out I may not be able to pass on the opportunity. If one blows at me I’m busting her on pure principle Good luck and hope y’all get a few more opportunities to hunt than I’ll have left this year.

Good buck!

Nice! Congratulations!

Ouch! It sure doesn’t. Maybe an early hunt and try to get out before getting soaked! Lol Thanks for the heads up!

I forgot a couple straps in the woods yesterday and went out to get them this morning. Hunting public land so made sure nobody was hunting the area before I went in to get them. Found both of them, one in each spot I’d hunted the previous two days. One was still up in a tree where I’d had my lock on stand. So since I had to go up and get it I hunted for a couple hours while I was there. Didn’t see anything but heard a couple shots on the other side of the field. Sounded like center fire ( really close together too). Hope not since it’s center fire isn’t allowed on that property. Anyway, it felt good to sit there for the short time, I have an even to go to with my wife this evening so couldn’t hunt any more than I did. I’m hoping to get out tomorrow and may drive a couple hours east so I can use my rifle and leave the CVA at the house.

Nice buck! Congratulations!

Passed on a decent size 8 pointer yesterday. I’m heading out again tomorrow to another spot close to where I was yesterday. Trying to learn more of this public land around here so I’ve got more options for hunting. Going to be warm (compared to yesterday) but I’m gonna head deeper in the woods mid morning and stay out of the sun.

I’d LOVE to be in the woods tomorrow. I’m off all this coming week to hunt but have to work tomorrow. Shouldn’t complain with the rest of the week to hunt but I think tomorrow’s gonna be the best day temp wise for the week. But I’d say rut action should pick up as the week goes on so I’m still happy to be able to get out.

Congratulations KahrMan!

Awesome. I’m empty handed so far but checking out new public places and learning them as I go. I can’t wait to see a coyote be-bop towards me. I’m definitely one the guys who turns any season into coyote season when they show up! Good luck deer hunting this year also.

I’ve always used Flower’s as well. I know a lot of people use Pott’s Meat in Wartrace, TN as well but I’ve never used them personally.

Lot of us old P series Ruger fans. Figured it’d last one day I here!

Man these are fun to shoot! If anyone is on the fence, grab it and love it!

No problem, sorry it wasn’t what you were really needing. I’ll keep my eyes open though.

Actually not sure if that will work for you or not after looking at your picture again.

Ridiculously overpriced but here’s one https://www.ebay.com/itm/154646566414
