The photo of the rifle is attached to show the cheapest night vision available. $150.00 Can't afford the expense of the others. It works great so doesn't matter to me. I use different methods also. This rifle is a Marlin 22lr. Shoot the ear hole. I use a 243 and crossbow also. The top 2 photos are rooting of a church

I could care less about the damage they cause I hunt them because I get joy out of killing them

There is plenty of them to kill and there is more being born every single day. I don't know anything about night vision Sgt. How far can you see and shoot with that set up?

With that night vision about 100 yards. I haven't tried further but it will shine further. It fits all my scopes so that's a Hugh plus and it will do day also in color. The only down side is I had to tint the monitor because its really bright at night. If you turn the brightness all the way down it will shine back on you and the animals can see. Tinting the screen is a must. The camera will show as far as the eye can see but night vision works off the infrared light that comes with it and id say 150 yards max.

This may sound blasphemous, but I like hunting pigs as much as I enjoy hunting deer.

Nope. I agree with you. I hunt pigs more than I hunt deer. It would be nice if I had some hog hunting buddies here in East Texas. Most people have a schedule to keep. I do not

cheers I see the photos also. You use what you can and kill every hog/pig you can. They breed like fire ants.

when I check this post on my phone, I do see the pictures. But they are NOT showing up on my work computer, so I'm assuming our workplace filtering is blocking them. frown

Looks functional for a static position ... would hate to carry it around in the bush ... looks like it would eat batteries, or do you have a extension cord? lol

Lol. It comes with 3 18650 batteries. And I only use it sitting in my blind. To bulky to walk around with at night. Only use it for hogs unless I'm deer hunting then it is removed. I'm not getting busted for night time deer hunting ? I don't leave it on. Just check the area then it goes off. But it's supposed to last about 8 hours in continuous on mode
