    Sightmark Wraith 4K Mini 2-16x (Digital Night Vision, not the Thermal)

    Ok, let me pitch things a little differently. If you had $1000 to spend, are you going NV with a good aftermarket illuminator or are you getting budget thermal? Again, this is knowing shot distances will generally be 200 yards and in.

    Hogs either sitting on fields or finding them around feed storage areas where corn and grain have been spilled loading and unloading trucks. And yes, we do lots of daytime coyote calling so would like to try it at night as well.

    Agreed...already been looking at sniper hog lights.

    Thanks for the replies, keep ‘em coming. I realize thermal is superior, but for my given use cases I’m thinking NV will work well too for a fraction of the price (understanding the already mentioned additional considerations that come with NV and the illuminator). @Elkmagnet They have Gen 1...

    Now I already know y'all are a bunch of enablers...cough cough...I'm looking at you @Dsnow9 Let's stay focused here. I'm looking for reviews on the scope in question, not looking for a dozen posts that amount to "just buy the thermal". ;)

    Sightmark Wraith 4K Mini 2-16x (Digital Night Vision, not the Thermal)

    I'm friends with some farmers who I go hog hunting with at night probably half a dozen times a year. They have thermal scopes, suppressors, the whole nine on their rigs (get to write it all off as a "farm expense") and are always willing to let me borrow their equipment, though between going...

    EOY ‘23 - What Worked, What Didn’t?

    I love that the stuffed animal is along for the ride. Having two little girls of my own, I can definitely see this being me in a few years.

    Med high hunt boots you like

    Still loving mine. Add some Superfeet insoles and they’re even better. On the leather care front, I’ve just used the Crispi branded Waterproofing Conditioning Cream and that has worked well for me so far.

    Two Southern Boys Head North...WAYYY North!

    I go back and forth on this one. Sometimes I will and sometimes I won't. It's situation dependent, for me at least. There are times I have shot them without hesitation, and like @TOGIE said, I may have scared off a buck in the process. But there are times I have shot them and it seemingly had no...

    No, unfortunately not. Of course, once I said to T-Beau that no more coyotes are getting a pass, we didn't see another one that was within range or around long enough to get a shot off. One of their southern kinfolk ate a bullet over Thanksgiving week though.

    Over 3000 miles on the truck, 40 miles of hiking, two punched tags, and a week with a great buddy…I’d say it was a pretty successful trip! I'm excited to see where we find ourselves in 2024. Thanks for reading along.

    I get the rangefinder out. Adrenaline is pumping good. I try to steady myself and get the deer in the center of view. Click the button…nothing! This can’t be happening right now!!! My first thought was it’s dead, but that couldn’t be…there’s a new lithium battery in there. Click it again and...

    Stop the truck, throw up the binos…it’s a doe. T-Beau is looking too, with my rifle sitting in his lap, and says, “I think there’s a buck in there.” I’m looking at doe #2 when he says that, so I respond, “No, it’s just does.” The words that come out of his mouth next are much more emphatic...

    Two Southern Boys Head North...WAYYY North!

    Day 5 continued: We had a few places marked on the map much further north of where we had been the previous days. We figured now was as good a time as any to make the trek up there. There were some county roads and two tracks leading to some areas we wanted to check out so we figured we’d do a...

    Day 5: The next morning broke much colder with a few inches of snow on the ground. We had decided to try a new area for the morning hunt. This spot was closer to town, and not knowing how many others might have the same idea, we made sure to get moving early. After a quick 20 minute drive, we...

    Literally any of those would have been better than another dog!
