I've entered the dark side - thermal vision!!! Bit the bullet and ordered a Pulsar Trail XP50 on Black Friday last year. It finally arrived on Jan. 5. Mounted it on my good old Ambush 6.8 rifle. Sighted it in Saturday morning and took it out that evening. I sat in my favorite hide facing a blustery south wind. I was fiddling with my phone when a solitary hog came in from my left, sniffed around a bait block for a few minutes then looked straight at me and wandered out of sight about 5:45. Then thirty minutes later he reappeared and went to the feeder tube 75 yds straight ahead of me. My first shot with the thermal sight struck in the lower neck and it was DRT from the SST bullet. Luckily a buddy was still deer hunting and I was able to call him to come help me load him up in the truck. The scope is such a game changer but like a noob rookie I forgot to press Record!!
Anyhow I had a very happy New Year and wish everyone well!
