So I've lost my mind. Going to work tonight at 10:00. Getting off at 6:00 Friday morning and heading to Texas. Hunting pigs starting at 7:30 Friday night. Driving back Saturday morning. Should arrive back at work by 10:00 Saturday night. Getting off work Sunday morning at 10:00. Just got off from working a12 hour night. Only sleep I'll get is on the ride down and the ride back from Texas.

My buddy and I have killed over 30 in a night in Texas.

He has a different voice for each character. The Ember Wars got me hooked. We play audio books on the way to Texas. I can also listen through my ear pro when I'm testing ammunition or rifles.

Luke Daniels does all of them. He does a good job.

More Richard Fox books.

Just remember they are not deer. The best place to shoot them is in the neck.

It'll work fine with the correct bullet.

It's happened to me. We get so focused on fixing the problem that we don't realize we forgot to plug it in. LOL

If you reduce the front sight and lower the rear sight, you're not doing anything.

If both are setup properly, they are both fine. Most of the problems with dual tube NV are because it's not adjusted to the user properly. On a terminal, guys run the brightness up too much. Set a thermal to where the brightness looks perfect and then go one step lower. Your pupil will dilate in that eye if the intensity is too high. When you take the scope away from your eye, you'll have night blindness in that eye for a few minutes. It'll cause your depth perception to run amok.

That depends on exactly what you're doing. You are driving around looking at your animals, night vision is perfect for this. A lot can hide from NV. If it's hard to see in the daylight, you will not see it in the dark. Coyotes at distance will be near impossible to see unless you catch movement or IR glinting off an eye. We sometimes stalk coyotes an hogs from as far as 800 yards using thermal. Thermal is much much faster for seeing what's out and about. Targets are easier to find and track as you shoot. NV guys let us scan and find targets. We usually light up their targets with an IR laser until the get on it and see it. The downside is the learning curve with thermal. To a new guy a coyote and a dog look the same (there is an easy way to determine the difference). Identifying targets takes a little getting used to. At first glance a skunk, opossum, and a raccoon look the same. After a few hours behind the the scope they look completely different. Think of it as learning a new language. You can also hide from thermal, but it's much harder for an animal. It's actually easier for a human. Glass or a silver thermal blanket will do it. Your best bet is to find someone that'll let you look at both so you can find out what's best for you. I have been running thermal for years now. I am biased, but I find myself needing some NV for driving.

How do you do this? We try and go out once a year. It didn't happen last year. LOL

If they just locked back on the last round.

A buddy of mine had a couple of thermal scopes put on his front porch in a neighborhood. It had happened before with this company, but this time they had stopped putting them in brown boxes. The boxes had the logo and exactly what it was on the outside. Nothing like seeing $14k in merchandise just sitting out there.

I made $6,456 on ebay last year. Unfortunately I paid $7,679 for the parts new. I should get a tax refund. LOL

Wondering what made them sell after an extended "closed for inventory"?

Figured that was coming.

let's be honest, most people have no idea how they would react to bullets flying by them. I'll be the first to say that I had no idea I was being shot at my first time in my 20s. My buddy hitting the ground was my first clue. The second was him screaming "He's shooting at you". You don't know how you'll react until it happens. I'm not going to judge someone until I know the facts. I'd be more interested in who didn't shoot. I've been shot, stabbed, and beaten. I have zero patents for the homeless or mentally ill on the streets. That's why I could never be a police officer. I just don't have the soul for it.

https://youtu.be/g93eNydmnLE Just watch the number of less than lethal wepons use against this guy

Crazy people can kill you just as easily as a sane person. I have seen "the mentality ill" get less mentality ill when a firearm comes out. It's safer for a homeless person to be perceived as crazy in the streets. Less likely to be pray however there are some truly crazy MFers I've encountered. Dude with a machete wanting to cut a guy's hands off for stealing comes to mind.

I'd probably use the coms I have for work. The Wife and I talked about it. Private land based relay stations, cell, and satellite. Nothing like redundancy. Coms is not my thing, I just use them.

Just get a warrant. They will just pull over on a random person's property and look around. They did get told that they couldn't take card readers with them. Guys were tempted to look at you game camera footage and delete any pictures of themselves. I argued with my game warden buddy about this. He told me I was trying to make his job harder. I told him that his job should be hard, but I hope he gets the bad guys.

No different than waking out into a Target parking lot and having a police officer searching every car in the lot just because. Oh,... and putting hidden cameras all over them....you know....just incase. Walmart doesn't care until they hit the Walmart parking lot.
