What’s up with the purple tape over parts of the SUV’s brake lights? (I don’t know much about NV/thermal, if that’s applicable)
Kydex formed light covers. Painters tape keeps them on and doesn’t leave residue on the paint when I take them off.

Predator season opens 10/1 in NY state, So I need something to pass the time.
Makes sense. Most of the country I hunt down there is really thick brush interspersed with some oak trees. You can't see the hogs if they are in the brush, so we generally scan the surrounding open country and try and spot them. We tried getting close with a vehicle the first few years we were there, but they got pretty wise to that ruse. We usually spot from about 6-800 yards away and in good thermal conditions we can generally ascertain if it is a hog or not. We then just get the wind in our favor somehow and sneak up on em.
. I started with a 384 unit, and made a hell of a lot of stalks to get within 300 yards of a deer before realizing that I just wasted 20 minutes for nothing.
Yeah, even 600 yards is a long hike these days
Most of the places I hunt require threading through SxS trails etc... Then you have a ~15 - 50 acre clearing before having to do it again. Great places for hogs to hide too. However, I do have a few areas that will allow me to connect a rifle to a tripod and just hump the whole thing over my shoulder. I'm looking into those setups now. No way do I want to be giving up on more opportunities to be effective once I actually get into pigs. That first group (I got into them on #1, and #3 on the last video) did acres of damage out here about two weeks ago.
with the AK.
