Gun ownership (or any rights) should not be political. And nor should mask wearing or other similar topics. But our "news" is nothing more than entertainment... sources chasing ratings ($$$) by feeding a specific audience outrage and confirmation bias 24/7 while demonizing those from the other...

I have some N95's and FFP2's (same as N95) and I wear them when going into Walmart and such. And I've worn them for hours on end while doing car bodywork... no oxygen deprivation passing out or headaches. You don't need to catch each virus particle with the mask, just the droplets which carry...

I'm always ultra nervous around cattle. Just last trip I got what looked like a very good shot on a big sow in some trees. She squealed and ran. So I went in to look for her. Found her laying on the ground not far away but could see she was still moving a little. Kept creeping up closer and...

That Tommy Twotone one looks like a giant field mouse.

Wow. Red loctite on a thermal scope. Very bad idea in my opinion. I suppose if/when the time comes, he can drill out the screws, drill into the center of them with a small bit, and maybe put a rod in there that fits tight he can heat up to transfer the heat to the loctite. Or maybe the tip of a...

My uncle Bill with a couple bigger ones, a hog in the back of the minivan after deciding to try a little pig hunting before heading home (to Iowa), me with chunky sow.

Getting to be that time of year again... Boar from this spring with grass too tall to hunt effectively, "bonus" piglet with my thumbs up of approval, friend Nate with one of his, vultures doing their job, at the cabin doing some processing

I eat them. Big ones, little ones, clean ones, muddy ones... and boars you can smell 50 yards away. All have tasted good to great. I bring large coolers with at least 20 lbs of ice, and a few smaller coolers. As soon as I can, after the pig(s) are down, I get to work. Keep it clean and put the...

Oh yes, speaking of video... I have a small digital video recorder I bought straight from China off the ebay. Was like $60. Works great, but not high def. Lots of ways to save money except when buying the actual scope.

You guys are high dollar! I have a $10 skateboard helmet with a quick made bent aluminum strap that I attached with screws onto the front of the helmet.

I have an Apex XD38. Great thermal. My neighbor has the RXQ30V and it's pretty darn good too. If you want the bells and whistles, you'll pay for them. If you just want a decent thermal to go hunt and don't care to send video to a smart phone... save the $$. My Apex stores 3 aiming settings, so...

I have the XD38. I didn't like the wheel... in that it was easy to accidentally push it against something and change the settings. I took off the knob and slipped a very small piece of rubber vacuum hose over the metal stem. Then I cut out the center of a gatorade cap, leaving only the outer...

Oh, I also saw a group of at least 20 hogs in some maybe 8" high corn but didn't know who owned the land. If I was that farmer, I would want people to shoot hogs there if they see them. But of course I didn't shoot because I don't want to upset anyone. That was the first night. The next day I...

I've been hunting sw Arkansas from time to time for the last 5 years or so. One of the guys who has quite a bit of good hunting land where I've been hunting has recently got a remote camera/triggering trap set up... and doesn't want me hunting the area since he's trying to trap entire sounders...

I'm also interested. Supposedly 940nm gives off no red glow, but the only 940 lights I've seen with any real illuminating range give off a red glow... supposedly due to the small amount of light produced below that wavelength. I've tried a number of them. I think it would take a somewhat high...

For the Apex, it's very easy to make your own batteries cheap. I made mine for about $5 each. Three 18650 cells in series, connected with regular tabs. Attached to that is a 5.5mm x 2.1mm male plug. Those are cheap to buy on Ebay with a 6" or so lead already attached. I used E6000 glue to glue...

I recently bought a cheap DVR off ebay for around $55 for use with my Pulsar thermal. It works well but the file size is rather large. It's not 1080p and the avi files seem somewhat large. But I haven't messed around much with software to try to reduce the file size while keeping the quality. I...

Almost 6" of shift? Is that at 50 yards? It's good you're checking it out. Are you sure nothing is loose with the scope or barrel nut? I noticed with my XD38A that I got much better repeatable accuracy by using the 1/2" wrench to snug down the mount nuts instead of just "as tight as I can...

I'm guessing it's a li-ion battery. The cold temps will really knock them down. My cell phone lasts about 3 or 4 days after a battery charge in warm weather. If it's 5* outside, I can have it full charged, feed hay for an hour with it in my coveralls pocket, and it needs charged again. It will...

I wouldn't expect great performance out of that setup. Even my gen 3 behind my NV compatible EoTech lacks range. The glass in the EoTech and other red dot sights looks clear, but it blocks a lot of light (and therefore image/range). For doing the night vision hunting on the cheap, I think a good...
