Hi Lone Star Boars.
New member. I am here because this seems like a great resource to learn about hog hunting and related things before I go and do.
I bought a book about hog hunting and am about half way through it. It seems to cover mostly basic things and doesn't go into night hunting at all, which I am more interested (at this point, anyway).
Based on my research I decided that the best way for me to go was to have a thermal monocular and a NV scope. I purchased an Armasight Q14 640 (30Hz) and also got the 2X lens. I like the unit pretty well, especially after the putting in the bigger lens. The battery life does seem really short (about an hour).
I do not have a NV scope yet. My plan is to talk to the Ident Marking guys when I'm up close to Dallas in the near future.
I'm contemplating building a 458 SOCOM upper since the only viable options I have currently is an SKS and a SBR in 300BLK. I'd be interested to hear what you guys think. Well, I also have a 12 gauge I could use slugs with I guess... not too sure how common that is.
Well, that's me and where I am. Glad to be here and hope to glean as much as possible.
