    Hunting & Fishing Best unscented deodorant, soap?

    I posed this on another forum, but how does anybody know if scented or unscented soap makes on iota of difference? Tooti fruity citrus may be a great attractant for all any of us know, LOL. Here is the other side to this. Soaps with fragrance are going to help mask your personal smells. It...

    Hunting & Fishing Open coms for night hunting?

    LOL, the technology has nothing to do with your choice of friends and their etiquette.

    Hunting & Fishing Open coms for night hunting?

    The only option I know of is to use cell phones with bluetooth headsets (or ear buds) but the problem with cell phones is that you need signal (tough in some areas) and for some issues, the signal delay may be a problem.

    Hunting & Fishing Open coms for night hunting?

    Yes, because your hands are busy. In our case, we would use them for coordinating shooting of hogs. There have been numerous times when it would have been beneficial to not have the shooters all in the same spot. Holding down a mic button while sighting a rifle isn't convenient. Plus, if...

    Hunting & Fishing Open coms for night hunting?

    I would find this very interesting as well. The problem is having the transmissions walk all over one another. Used to, it could be gotten around by duplexing where you transmit on one frequency that your buddy receives and he transmits on another frequency that you receive. That took some...

    Night Vision Lifespan of Thermal Optics?

    I would not count on anything lasting longer than the manufacturer's warranty because after that runs out, often the company won't service them. You should be able to get thousands of hours of use out of them. There are factors that will shorten their use life, like nephews noted above, but...

    Digital Day/Night Vision Paired with a Thermal Clip-On

    Editing in the reticle with the previous clip-on was to be more in the spirit of what went on as opposed to reality. It helps the viewer follow the action if they know where you are specifically sighting the rifle. With Ben's version, no editing and you get the reality of what he was seeing...

    Digital Day/Night Vision Paired with a Thermal Clip-On

    My hunting partner is getting to demo products for some companies and right now he is working with a prototype 640 resolution thermal clip-on from Bering Optics. He had been using it with a regular daylight scope, but getting good shooter's-view video was a pain. He could either get video from...

    Big Brother now Watching

    Were you under the impression that the company trusted you and would not have checks and balances to keep track of your work in some manner? You are an employee, so even if they trust you, they don't actually trust you. Management and labor are always at odds and always have been.

    Hunting & Fishing Grendel hunting

    I have no idea what you think this entire thread is about. You mentioned and complained about specific issues and I addressed those issues. In the OP, you complained about a lack of a blood trail and wanting pass through. The blood trail issue goes hand in hand with post #5 where you noted...

    Hunting & Fishing Grendel hunting

    Overpenetration is a concern if you want a good blood trail. Entry-only wounds tend to produce very poor blood trails unless you hit an artery right under the skin.

    Hunting & Fishing Grendel hunting

    Yes, absolutely, there are better factory options if you are looking for ammo that will overpenetrate so as to potentially give you a better blood trail, but are they available right now is a salient concern. Federal Fusion 120s will give you great penetration and over penetration Hornady SST...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting alone safely

    For me, it is always hunting with a fully charged cell phone and running Life360 which is a tracking program. My wife can find me to within a few yards if necessary or direct others to me. I carry multiple light sources and spare batteries for two of them. I carry a bleed kit. Depending on...

    Hunting & Fishing Ozonics any good?

    Their argument was that because it took longer for the dog to find them, enough time for a person to get off a shot (I guess if you see the deer before he smells you), that Ozonics therefore works. Ozone does work, but it takes time and saturation, something they had in the unrealistic and not...

    Night Vision Where to find replacement battery cassette for Flir thermal scope?

    Contact FLIR. When I did, they wanted ME to provide them with the exact part number for the scope, which meant using the manual. So I had to dig that out of the safe where I had not seen it in years. I was sort of shocked. I had provided the model number and serial number, but they could not...

    Night Vision What company offers the best N-Vision Halo LR prices for brand new units ?

    None. They are all contractually agreed to MAP pricing and/or don't advertise below it. That is the price they are OFFERING to sell for. HOWEVER, most will cut you a deal verbally. You need to contact various vendors and ask/negotiate with them.

    Night Vision Thermal on a shotgun?

    Yes. There is a fellow that hunts Fort Hood, Texas that has used both a Pulsar Apex and Pulsar Trail on shotguns because he can't rifle hunt there. https://www.youtube.com/user/scrudriva05 There are numerous other folks who have as well. His stuff I just happen to be most familiar with.
