Night Vision W1000 Hog kills part IV

[TEXASLAWMAN]

Sorry I have not been posting much here is a short kill clip.

Weather conditions for the first two hogs was clear with temperature in the 50's.

The third hog it was overcast with a light fog temperature was in the low 50's.

The fourth hog the one pumping the blood it was a light mist with a few rain drops mixed in again temperature in the low 50's

Just for info purposes I use Sony Vegas to create these videos but only to clip out the non action parts or to slow the video down no video enhancement is done I want you to see what the scope actually does. The reasoning behind clipping the video to just kill shots is I start the recorder when I'm making my stalk with the pvs-14 so all the w1000 is recoding during that time is the ground and my feet. I really don't think people would enjoy 5-15 minutes of ground and feet footage.

Cool video, thanks for sharing. What is the specs of your rig? A buddy and I are trying to find another place in tx to hunt them again.

This was a Bison Armory 6.8 spc shooting 120gr sst handloads with the W1000 scope on top. The drought has hurt the hog population across the state but there are still plenty!

On our last hog hunt we used grendels and 223 with 77 sierra's. We were also using pvs 14's with ir lasers.

WOW the huge sounder that runs into the screen at 1:42 mark! HOLY COW if that's decreased population from drought I would hate to see what it would be like normally. Also lots of DRT shots! Very impressive. How well do the Sierra 77s do on hogs?

 

[TEXASLAWMAN]

The hogs in the background got too the next property and started rooting. I had to sit and just watch them since I don't have permission to shoot over there. But Not to worry I'm pretty sure they will be staring in a future episodes! Yes the drought has hurt the population it used to be easy to kill 20-30 a night.

Great vid!

The ones we killed with 77s did well.

Dumb question but what brass catcher are you using?

The drought may be the only thing giving us a chance to keep the population in check on our property. We hit em hard, but they keep on coming. Amazing survivalists.

Tactical brass recovery and I love it mine is the original model they have some improved ones now. Its a little expensive but it will pay for itself fast, it works, its tough, and I can clear malfunctions and such if ever needed.
Tactical Brass Recovery. Brass Catchers made by shooters for shooters!

Thanks!

 

[holy cow]

Looks like a lot of fun and great way to spend the evening hours. The slow motion of the hog running pumping out the blood was cool.

What kinds of ranges are those? Is there a zoom feature on the W1000-9 if they were out farther?

Most of these are 60-100 yards the w1000-9 is a mil spec fixed 3.1x magnification. I can't explain why but the w1000 seems like it magnifies the target way more than my pvs14 with 3x attached. I feel way more comfortable taking longer shots with the w1000 vs the pvs.

There doesn't seem to be a standard across the industry as to what magnification really translates to that I am aware of. For instance the Leupold 2.5 to 8 sure seems like the top end is more magnification than 8. Also my 6X on my PVS 7 corresponds almost perfectly in magnification and field of view to my 8X Lieca Geovid binos....

I have noticed to that the 3.1X of the W 1000 seems to be noticeably more magnification than a USGI PVS-14 3X.
