A friend and I booked a hunt with Dry Creek ( Witchita Falls ) for this past Thursday night. It was nightvision hunt on milo fields. They can provide NV but we both used the unit I make in 2 AR rifles. Most of the spotting was done with the guides ( Keaton ) Thermal. This was my first experience with thermal and I gotta say it was AWESOME. Sadly, being a regular guy with 4 kids I gotta stick with digital NV scopes for now. We both had a good time and killed 5 total plus 1 that we believe was a hit but he just sucked it up and kept moving. I definitely recommend hunting with them and plan on booking again, though the drive was kinda rough! ( 342mi from here ). Here are a few pics

The big boy of the night. We didnt weigh him but he measured out at calculated 252lb

Sweet,,, big uns
Nothing like night hunting for hogs

Mike,
That's some nice hogs. Be careful looking through Thermal, I've never done drugs, but it's gotta be similar to doing illegal drugs. LOL
If you make and sell a few more of those, I can see one in your future.

Thanks, the thermal scope was definitely addicting. One of the fields we hunted hadnt been cut yet and the thermal made a huge difference.

U built the digital scope?

Yes sir.

Sounds like a nice hunt. I have to say I agree with your impression of thermal. Since I'm past the dad with kids stage I just picked up a N850 digital scope and a HD38A thermal scanner. I can't say enough good stuff about the pair.

Very nice! Keaton did you a good job?

Yes sir. Very accomodating and obviously knew the properties well. Honestly, if it wasnt such a long drive I would book another hunt for the next week or two.

Gas prices down, ccan save big bucks at the store on meats... Just 10# of sausage is $30.00 hambergur at walmart, truest me it makes a difference... Be help a neighbor, hogs can reproduce at least 3times in a year, & have up ta 8-10 piglets at a time... If icould aford it, yagh wouldn't have ta ask me twice, Deer season still month away... Whats Price for a hunt ? Theirs plenty looking for hog hunts...

Here is the video of the double. Forgive the shakyness.

That's good shooting Mike. Gotta love it when you get 2 with NV.

Do you have any info or vids on how you built the scope?

Here is the thread where miket1 discusses building his digital night vision scope.

It was $200 a night. I think they charge more if you want to use their thermal, not sure about the other eqpt.

Thanks

Im thinking about going back this coming weekend. Anybody from the Conroe, Navasota,Houston etc want to go? Its $200/night. We killed 5 last trip. Maybe do a dove hunt too, they have been killing the collard doves pretty good.
