    Blood Moon hunt video.

    Good setup. Good shooting with nice cleanup. Excellent production keeps moving and your interest up with a nice balance of stills, action, sound track and just the right amount of background music. Well done all around. Here in CenTex, we could sorta see a glow behind the clouds.....we checked...

    Photon XT questions

    Thanks Brian, That's pretty much what I wanted to know. With all the excrement about the X-Sight, you don't hear much about anything else.. Been waiting and watching the XSight but just want something to put on and run - it's for a loaner so I just want it to work. Thank you Sir!

    Photon XT questions

    Anybody here using or used one. Real world experience only please, not rumors or I heard, she said. Don't want to get involved with the X-Sight train wreck that does everything you don't really need fairly well but sucks as a night scope - maybe in 6 months to a year when they get thru using...

    LSB members 2014 kill counter.

    Well, I'm late to the party! I have 27 this year to add to the total. Just finished sighting in new night time pig rifle so hoping to add to that. LSB is up to 359!

    How high off the ground are you when hog hunting?

    As I replace them, I am going modular. I build a 8' tall modular base out of 3" angle iron with lighter angle iron ladder attached. All of my blinds are on skids that drop right into the modular base. Most of them are 4x8 for two people but one if them is 4x4 single person blind with matching 7'...

    264 lb. Boar Down, Montague County

    Nicely done Sir! I think the one I shot Friday night probably had the missing stink from yours!

    Boom...and another one's down...

    Added a couple to the bait pile this week. Went out Wednesday night and drew a blank. Returned on Thursday night and got a nice medium boar about 180 pounds. Was recording that one on video but managed to unplug the cable from the camera as I was setting up for the shot. Sorry guys......LOL...

    No worries TLM, there were two of us shooting and on the first shot, Nephew got a pretty good double lung shot on him. He rolled up in some small brush just to the right of the sow I dropped.

    Little evening action

    Sticks......we don need no stinkin' sticks!!! I had missed supper and was really starting to feel it and had to grab a Snickers from my pack shortly after that! I was sitting in an office chair, inside a carpeted box blind, gun resting on a carpeted window rest....I don't think sticks would...

    We are hunting from a 4x8 elevated box blind with a carpeted shelf under the window. I just have the Angel Eye DVR and microphone assembly sitting on the shelf with the microphone hanging outside the blind and a 23" harness running to the DigiSight. The Angel Eye includes a cute little remote so...

    5 More Last Night

    Greetings, My Nephew finally got a hall pass for the night and we took advantage. I've been keeping the feeders and feral crack pipe full and watching the game cameras. We got into the stand about an hour before dark and got everything set up well in advance this time. The feeder went off at 9PM...

    Little evening action

    Yeah, we were shooting a pair of *** 16" 6.8s. I was videoing thru a Pulsar N750 and recording on an Angel Eye DVR which does actually have sound but I didn't have the microphone plugged in yet as they surprised us!!

    Little evening action

    Greetings, I took a good friend out last night to introduce him to pig hunting in general and night time hunting specifically. I've been laying off the pigs for the last month and they have returned in droves to my feeders. After spending a while going over the equipment with Jeff, showing...

    Thumper is coming right along...

    Went to the range with a good buddy today. His Grandmother passed away early this morning and he was down clearing his head. He had his *** 223 target crown AR and a new 45ACP Glock. I took the Socom out for some exercise. It ran pretty well but I still have a little tuning to do. It locks...

    Thumper is coming right along...

    Been working on getting this together for some time now! Should get it to the range tomorrow for a little shakedown. 6 pounds, 9 ounces as pictured, empty without sights. 223 on left 325gr Hornady FTX and a few loaded in the magazine. A 20 round magazine holds 7 - 458's...LOL! Picture...

    How to add hundreds to your pigs weight......

    I know and have had the pleasure of hunting with the record holder in the Free Range Wild Boar - Weight Class division. He and his operation are a class act and good folks...and my old butt stuck a pig with his knife!

    How to add hundreds to your pigs weight......

    or something like that..... Discuss the "point system" used on this site: http://wwtworldrecords.com/record-books/ Seems kinda pointless adding tusk diameter and length to "enhance" your score. What ever happened to a good ole set of scales?

    IR Laser/Illuminator thoughts

    For the price, this illuminator is hard to beat. I have one of these and have tested it with a N750, Photon 5X and Gen2 PVS. It really wakes up all three quite well for the price. Downside is it is only ON or OFF but it's not too bad as you can use the onboard IR for the N750 or Photon for...

    Shot This....

    Took this picture out my patio door on the front of my house yesterday morning. If you look above the third turkey from the right you will see a hub cap wild bird feeder. Here is a close up of the feeder. I have recycled some old dented air-cooled VW hubcaps into bird feeders and put a...

    Remembering your first hunt...

    How many of you folks remember your first real hunt? I remember mine quite well. I remember it so well because I will never be allowed to forget....and therein lies the story....or lack of! I was born and raised on a 6000 acre cattle ranch in Central Texas. The nearest neighbor was about 1/3...
