1 Hog with the MK II 640 35mm
This lone boar was roaming among some cattle near Mt. Vernon, Texas. During the stalk he was spooked by a heifer who did not like our presence. Once alerted to the danger this boar ran directly away from us, but could not escape a 125 grain 300BLK bullet send straight through his skull.
First Hogs Spotted and Killed with the NEW IR Patrol Thermal Monocular!
Check out these pictures from our recent hunt with The Hog Hitmen using some new gear. The new IR Patrol from IR Defense was run helmet mounted and offered superior detection ability. If you are interested in a thermal hog hunt check out the Hog Hitmen’s website.
PVS-14 vs Thermal Weapon Sight for Hog Hunting
If you are trying to decide on a PVS-14 or a thermal imaging weapon sight for hog hunting, this video is for you.
We put this video together to answer common questions about Generation 3 – PVS-14s for night hunting and illustrate some of the technology differences between gen 3 and thermal. Another good piece of information in this video is the important role of a magnified optic vs a 1X optic for night hunting. These hogs were all under 50 yards, with some under 30 yards and as you can see in the video there is a crucial difference in positive ID and usable range for a 1X vs 2.5X-20X(digital zoom) optic.
The PVS-14 was mounted simply for video purposes, so you wont see the reticle or a laser. It was a dark night when this video was captured with only 18% illumination from moonlight. We decided to not use an IR illuminator or a laser for this video to truly show the differences in technologies. Next time we hunt a dark night we will use an IR illuminator and a laser and throw a 3X magnifier on the PVS-14 to show how much better of an image you can get with IR Illumination and magnification. Hope ya’ll enjoy the video.

IR Hunter Mark 2 Thermal Hog Hunting Video
This thermal hog hunt took place directly after a 3 inch rain. Although the thermal image quality is much worse in humid environments, the IR Hunter MK II thermal scope performed flawlessly taking out 10 hogs in a 12 hog sounder.
