    Thermal Drones

    My buddy just ordered one of these. He’s putting the pressure on me to get a thermal scope. Somebody make me a deal on a Halo 25 and we’ll be in business!

    Night Vision Thermal Drones

    Pretty well for detection. I’ve only seen it a few times. But it shows heat signatures well. Its very different from the Halo I had, but that’s expected. The drone itself is excellent.

    Night Vision Halo 25mm Running Review

    Man, I’ve done a terrible job with the ongoing review 🤦🏼‍♂️ mostly because I havent had time to run the unit, and the hogs have disappeared for several months. I’ve watched a few deer from the porch, but that’s about it. I’m actually considering selling it since I’m not using it. I need a...

    No freakin’ wonder I couldn’t find Duckhorn Pinot! I saw the Goldeneye and Migration 🤦🏼‍♂️

    Well, we’ve been through all the Decoy, and most of the Duckhorn offerings. The Duckhorn Cab was great. We prefer Cakebread Chardonnay over the Duckhorn Chard. Picked up Mayacamas Chardonnay for a special occasion. Really wanted the Caymus Cab, but held off. What’s your favorite $50-$100 Cab...

    Hunting & Fishing Frog Legs Anyone?

    My first “date” with my now wife was a froggin’ trip. She was sitting in the back of the boat with a Coors Lite in one hand, and a Q-beam in the other. I can still picture it. My buddy was driving the boat, I was laid out in the front grabbing. In Louisiana, it’s illegal to break the skin, so...

    Mk18 10.3” 5.56 AR as a SHTF truck gun?

    I remember reading this thread initially, way back when. There was a lot of brow beating for even considering a truck gun. Here I was thinking every red blooded American had a truck gun of some sort...kinda like a pocket knife, been doing it since age 16. That said, I’ve swapped my 11.5”...

    I picked up the rest of the Decoy wines we haven’t tried. We’re really liking them so far. They did have Duckhorn and Caymus. I didn’t pick any up this trip, but will soon. My birthday is coming up And one of those with a steak sounds promising.

    What's the motivation to go back to work.........

    I work in a nursing home. CNAs no-show every year when tax returns go out. Its dang near impossible to get them to show up right now between the .gov payments and COVID fear. We’re lucky if 30% show up. Administrator was calling offering cash to show up last Saturday...no takers. Even...

    Night Vision Thermal host for Halo LR

    This is good advice. My 6.5G thumps harder, but recoils (not too much, but significantly) more than .223. I don’t notice with single or spaced out shots, but it is harder to get back on target quickly when you’re in a hurry. I’d imagine 6.5CM would be considerably more difficult. But it’s all...

    They sound like a Giant bumblebee as they approach the ground. From treetop height you can’t hear.

    Night Vision Proving out the Halo LR reticle

    Please explain this to me. Does doubling the mag 1/2 the mils?

    Night Vision Halo 25mm Running Review

    Sighting in: I followed the Lone Star Boars - Huey Outdoors method to sight in. (YouTube) Stapled a small piece of foil to a big piece of cardboard and shot. I hit low right, and covered the hole with another piece of foil. While holding my initial point of aim (top foil) I nuc’d it, then...

    Night Vision Halo 25mm Running Review

    lol yeah that upper was the first step in a 3 year process to build this setup. Cans/stamps took forever. With the Ultra 5 and 10rnd mag it’s a light/nimble setup for walking the roads and swamps. The 338 Ultra and 17rnd mag are more cumbersome, but more pleasant to shoot from a blind or stand.

    Night Vision Halo 25mm Running Review

    Well, the stars aligned, and I’m now the owner of this bad boy. I’ve wanted to get into the thermal game for a long time. This is my first thermal experience period. You guys convinced me to wait, and it appears to be worth it. My poor Grendel has long waited to serve it’s purpose blasting hogs...
