Hunting Fun

I had the same question asked before about the dragunov. I honestly had to look it up to see the specs but have since forgotten them. We are using bolt action .44 mags because of stealth. I can work a bolt quieter than a semi-automatic action slamming back then forward. We have added a semi-automatic supersonic rifle that is a LWRC M6A3 DMR in 6.8mm. You can check out our suppressed rifles at our nighthogs website.

thanks, for that, i tried shooting a pair of hogs that were 6 feet away, only had a pistol at that time, both got away,my brother still wont let me live it down, have u tried a dragunov? bolt actions take ages to recock and re aim,

In the neck, just behind the ear while they are standing broad side. It is the preferred “off switch”. A head shot is fine if you can hit the brain which is not a very big target. Severing the spine is the sure fire way to keep from tracking them. With a heart/lung shot you almost always have to track the big ones and usually don’t find them.

when shooting hogs wheres the best place to shoot them?

The scope on this rifle is an ATN 7900 Crusader. I was able to pick it up brand new for about $2800.

How much is that nightvision scope?

At 3:15 you can actually see the bullet hit that pig! Then, the dust cloud, and the squeal as the boar goes “oh ****!”

I have used a thermal imager and it is great for spotting heat signatures quickly. The problem is that all that you can see is the outline of the body. For our precise bullet placement it is impossible to see an eye or ear or definition in the shoulder. I also heard a story by two Texas DPS officers whose friend almost shot what he thought was a hog moving around in the weeds. He decided to double check his target with his night vision and it turned out to be an illegal alien hiding from him

what gun were you using?

cool video.
how does nightvisionhunting compare to thermal hunting?

!Good video bad shooting !

I am not that familiar with Gen 1 equipment but have looked through a monocular once of this generation. It was better than no night vision at all but do not expect anything as clear as our videos which are shot through Generation 3. I know nothing about the NVE-15 compact goggles which you refer to, but will say that a good infrared illuminator will help make any generation of night vision work better on especially dark nights.

Hi nice video, i a want to purchase a night vision goggles for hunting I was thinking the NVE-15 compact goggles its a gen 1 night vision is this a good one .

Very nice:)

good video. you traced the hog, or does it have a sexy scar now ?? lots of hogs round my place : the Netherlands !

There is a 4″ point of impact difference between 85 and 100 yards. The shot wasn’t too far if you could judge distance as the bullet still has enough energy. The key is knowing just how high to hold on the animal. It was a poor shot as I didn’t compensate properly for the distance (which was unknown).

@NightHogsDotcom C’mon man you know it wasnt too far. There was minmal movement you should have got the kill first shot.

Any fragmentation device would work well in this type of situation. As for my shooting ability being in question I offer you this. Try shooting a soda can laying on its side using a high quality pellet gun at an unknown distance (this is the key as judging distance through night vision is impossible). This is approximately the size of the kill zone and the trajectory is just about equivalent to our .44 subsonics. I probably hit this hog about an inch and a half below its instant kill zone.

Hogs can be hunted from a stand just like you would deer and many are taken by deer hunters as the opportunity often presents itself during normal hunting conditions. We have blinds which we use for deer hunting but prefer the walk and stalk method using night vision as we are able to cover a much larger area.

Poor shooting in this clip , should have given him a RPG to shoot with. LOL

Dumb question – can’t you stand hunt these things like you would deer? Maybe build an above-ground blind…

haha i like it

Both. It is rare for us to see hogs during the day. With about eight game cameras in the field 24/7, we get hundreds of nighttime hog pictures every month. Over the same period of time we get about six daytime pictures. They hide in thick brush during the day and feel much safer roaming the fields at night. It is a false sense of security when we’re in the field.

What Do Hogs Do At Nght Do They Go And Drink Water Or Feed?
