My last hunt in regular season on the evening of 3/27. Got a call that some coyote killed a newborn calf at this farm the weekend before. By the way they were moving through the herd, I could tell these coyote were experienced and were probobly the calf killers I went there to take out. They had...

I have a friend with an axis 2 243 he got for his daughter to hunt with and it like's the 100grain SST/38.5 grns of 4350 combo. Dime sized 3 shot groups at 100 yards with it right from the factory and she's no Annie Oakley.

That's your choice, but a thermal monocular will make the odds much better in your favor and doesn't cost 1% of a 930 wide body. A thermal monocular is also good for hunting any other warm blooded animal, security purposes, finding studs in the walls + ceilings, heat pipes in the walls + floors...

I've never seen thermal prices this low and for decent unit's, not some crap you can't see dick with. When I started out on my thermal journey, there were hardly any choices and all of those choices were Mil hand out's and stupid expensive. Now is the time to at least buy an AGM thermal...

Great Job. Now that you have one under your belt, It's all downhill from here.:p The hardest part of predator hunting in open field terrain, is waiting for them to come in close enough for a shot. You have until the 28th, so I hope to see some more kill footage from you.

My father was a fishing guide on the mid gulf coast of Florida. After trying a spiral guided rod a fellow guide had made and was using way before they became popular, he had three spiral rods built to his specs and that's all he used till he retired when he turned 80. My father never does...

I had to put 1/8" spacers in between the cradle and the center post to get it inline with my eye. Just loosen the cradle screw until you get it lined up and take a measurement for the spacers. You'll need a spacer fore and aft of the cradle mounting bolt. Good Luck. He doesn't need a caller, he...

I've been using headgear with NV for a long time, so I'm used to wearing it and the 40 degree view of NV, but with the lack of depth using thermal, it's a lot different walking around the woods, especially woods with a lot of clutter and blow downs on the ground. I was ok yesterday in the...

Went out shed hunting with my brother and a friend, so I decided to take the thermal along to see how it would work in the daylight. Only one bar down after using it for 3 hours. I spotted these deer that were bedded down about 500 yards away. Got to within 30 yards before the wind shifted. No...

Or 300WSM, even though I've been almost begging them to make both for a long time !

I use Lapua and Petersons brass. When not pushed very hot and annealed after every firing, both brands will go 10+ reloads before culling is needed. https://www.petersoncartridge.com/

Pulsar has a nice thermal OBJ mounted clip on that's 640 resolution with a BAE core (Krypton) , but it's not available for purchase in the US yet. I just don't have enough money to get all of the thermals I want !

The AGM thermal monoculars aren't rated for recoil, so I wouldn't mount one on a weapon.

Thermals cannot be mounted behind a scope, but there are plenty of thermal clip ons, which mount in front of a low power scope. I had one, but it wasn't heavy caliber rated and traded it for a flir breach. Bering optics makes a thermal clip on rated for 50bmg and that's on my bucket list...

You could probably get the Crye nightcap to fit your old pup !

You could wear it backwards, so no tigers would attack you ! I'm old school and prefer the PVS7, so all my mounts are bayonet.

I hear you about the record button , but once you get used to it, you'll have no issues. Here's a short clip of the small deer herd that stays in my fenced in yard overnight. They know where it's safe. This thing rocks, as even with the misty conditions because of the high humidity, the image is...

So much for reading that You need to charge that puppy up before turning it on ! Anyway, you should be good to go now that your all decked out with 384+ res thermals. Good luck tonight.

Here's some Humans on a soccer field at 100 yards. This took me by surprise, as the lights were off and I didn't expect to see anyone on the field at 9pm, in the dark. You can see that the lights must've been turned off just before I got there, as there's still a lot of heat generating from them.

I got home late from work and decided to drive around and scan for critters. Found some deer at 30-50 yards and took some video with the hot spot feature in different modes. While I don't like the hot spot feature, I wanted to see what effect it has on battery drain. With it on, it did drain the...

The only real detractor of this thermal, is the internal battery. It can however be powered by an external power source. I ran the Asp 384 for over 5 hours in high 30 degree temps and it still had two of three bars left. I've only had the TM15 out for about two hours straight so far and have...

Here's anther short clip showing the detail of my old setter at 10ft. You can see there's no lag with this unit and his reflection off the door is also very clear and defined.

The Sionyx is a good concept, but it needs a lot of playing around with and a good illuminator for it to be useful. A PVS14 would be a better choice if you want to be able to use red dots. The problem with hunting at night, is that you think having a rig that shoots out to 100 yards is going to...

One 44 mag, try it with two Taurus Ultralite 44 mag's ! 240 grain HP 1,300 fps bear loads. And Jerry's not wearing a NY Gun Forum T shirt !!!

Well, you need to buy some thermal optics to make you happy then. I know it makes me happy. As I've always said, if you can't go get them, put out some bait piles and bring them to you. Anyone can hunt during the day, so you need to lessen the competition and hunt at night. Hunting at night...

The video is at night, as I test it how I'm going to use it. The sky sometimes gets brighter if it's cloudy out and high humidity. I advised you to get the Super Hog, just like I'm advising you and others to get this monocular. The Asp 384 is also a good monocular, but it doesn't have the FOV...

Awesome FOV with this spotter. Doe at 25 yards. Sheds at 275-300 and car at 325. Building in back at 400 yards.

Here's some short videos and specs of my newest AGM thermal spotter that I purchased after tying their other models last year. I was impressed with the 160 and 384 unit's so much, that when I found out they were going to have a 2021 model with better specs, I pre ordered one. For less than...

Unlike most here, I have good friends that have seen it take over, lived under and escaped the iron fist of socialism. They all say we are past the point of no return. America is their home and they are fully prepared to die so their offspring can live free, as there's nowhere left for them to...

Will the fox that raided the hen house punish itself for killing the chickens inside ? The Answer is NO, Again and Again and Again.

:rock:

If you bring it back, it's not a bait pile ! What I've been doing the last couple of years before coyote season, is to freeze all of the table scraps in a small bucket. When it gets colder out, I keep them in a bucket on the porch. It attracts all types of critters and that attracts coyote. Add...

During this type of weather, is when hunting over a bait pile really shines. When coyote know where a pile is, they'll visit it more often, as they know food will be there and no energy is wasted chasing prey around. If you make trails in the snow overlooking the pile, they'll take those trails...

I see a difference in coyote behavior when traveling just 2.5 hours north of my location. There not as vocal in the suburbs and as you mentioned, rarely seen in packs or even pairs. Up north, I hear multiple packs calling at night and their more aggressive when coming into calls. With this...

Like a good conservationist, I always leave some behind, so I have more to hunt later. Coyote have their place in the food chain, but as with everything, too many equal trouble. They are very resilient, adaptable and clever, which is why I like hunting them. I've been hunting them on/off for 41...

Your right, there's a learning curve and that curve goes from broke and hunting during the day, to in debt and hunting at night with thermal or NV. While I always tried to buy the best equipment in the early years, I could only afford mediocre at best. I would eventually give it away to someone...
