Why the brass catcher? Whatchu shooting
I got a ping from targetsportsusa.com that 110 grain v-max are back in stock....at $29.99 a box......last batch I bought was $19.99 a box prior to the ammo shortage.6
6.8 at this point again. As hard as it is to find brass it is becoming more of a necessity to save what I use. When it only ran me $1 / a shot for premium factory hunting ammo, not so much then.

I run brass catchers too, especially on my high volume guns. It beats digging through uncut pastures to police my brass after getting onto a sounder. During winter it's less of a problem especially when policing with a 1x thermal monocular - quick to find expended casings.Yeah. I used to only reload for precision rifle. I now reload for everything rifle.
I don’t know how I’ve forgot about this thread. I’ll post a few of my highlights from the last 6-8 months.
We had gotten in a sounder of pigs pretty good, and I had an ass shot piglet run over the hill from me. Pretty soon after we hear her screaming bloody murder while we’re still shooting, and walk over to see what the commotion is. A young coyote was taking advantage of her circumstances, and trying to make a meal of her. I dropped both at 214 yds.
Finding Brass cartridges will be future generations version of finding arrow headsI'm pretty sure that when my land gets developed and turned into housing complexes 200 years from now they'll stop the digging for a while until the archeological team finishes excavating all the cartridge cases.
I can see it now...the great battle of Nashoba, OK, ca. 2020. One force was using 5.56, the other 6.8. Must have been a lot of hand-to-hand too as there is no definitive battle lines anywhere...
I bet they'll even have a local native in the TV show talk about the history of warring tribes in the area.
Been on the 22 Creed and 17 HMR from day one. No other rifles.Noticed a lot of dead pixels in this video and another newer video on your YT channel.
Thermion ?
Did you have it mounted on a heavy recoiling rifle before the .22 creed ?
love the set upInaugural hunt with the Fix/Halo LR this evening. Nothing but these 2 shoats came in, about 60 yards out to a feeder in the planted pines. They did cooperate by lining up just right for a twofer with one round.

Thanks! Initially tried the Reap 35 on it and it was functional but the Halo is much better. Hopefully I will be able to stretch it out a bit soon in one of our open field hunting locations.love the set up
@diggler1833 always enjoy these videos.
what powder are you using? I’ve got a mess of these bullets to burn through.
Hey folks!
I sold my Halo LR and finally received my new Halo XRF two weeks ago! Here is some video from 7-28-21, this thing is incredible! Conditions were less than ideal ( 92° and 86% humidity), but the image quality was still phenomenal through the eyepiece. The new lower f-stop lense is definitely an upgrade!
Shooting engagement are at: 1) beginning, 2) approximately 8:00, 3) approximately 15:00 and last minute of video.
Shooting a Daniel Defense 6.8 SPC with factory 120 sst.
Note: in engagement #2 I dropped a big sow with my first round, diverted a boar coming straight at me with the second round, my rifle jammed, had to clear it twice, and was able drop him at 190 at a dead run. I finally have a scope that records video to back up some of the tall tales that I'm known to tell.
Yes, the bucks are still in velvet here so the antlers have blood flow and show up nicely on thermal.Weird. My halo lr and nox do not see antlers well. Maybe he is in velvet and still has blood flow? Looked like it could be the case.
Here is my latest, lil pup i caught sleeping. I believe he is from my previous stand where he was coming in so fast and wouldn’t stop, rushed the shot and missed . Think he wanted a nap after his near death experience View attachment 7678206View attachment 7678205
Up by my property i see these three bucks all the time. 2 mediums and one small guy. I do remember when insaw them a couple weeks ago, their antlers did show up big time. Totally spaced it. Thanks for the info!Yes, the bucks are still in velvet here so the antlers have blood flow and show up nicely on thermal.
Maybe a thermal drone, that way you wouldn't have to search around for 45 minutes and lose hogs in the grass ?
Watch the video, it's an amazing piece of gear.
Thermal Drone
I have a buddy who owns one of the largest thermal/NV dealers in the country he's hunted with thermal drones for years. Crazy cool Star Wars stuff it's been a few years since we hunted together that is still on my punch list to go on a thermal drone hunt. He will pull up in a pasture, fly a bit, spot and stalk and let the laughs begin. It's only $10k so everyone should have at least 2 of them lol. What a hoot sure would be great when the grass is all up to chest height.Maybe a thermal drone, that way you wouldn't have to search around for 45 minutes and lose hogs in the grass ?

Thermal Drone
That's the Horta class of drones, the one I linked is under $2k and I think would be a good tool to find your kills, if you had extra money lying around.I have a buddy who owns one of the largest thermal/NV dealers in the country he's hunted with thermal drones for years.

Autel Robotics EVO II Dual-R Thermal Drone **SALE**
The all new Autel Robotics EVO II is the world’s most compact and powerful thermal drone. It features the new FLIR BOSON 640x512 12 Micron thermal camera as well as a very powerful 8K visible camera. Both sensors are housed in an ultra-compact, removable gimbal system for perfectly stable...www.nightvisionoutfitters.com
Ahh gotcha. My buddy in IN uses an entry level drone/cam with an ipad on the family corn dirt......somewhere around 8k acres. Daylight of course, but when the yotes are out he has a hoot with it and will sniff out the winds and get in position. Those devil dogs are not carrying off fawns as often as they used to now with him on drone patrol. Funny he is about as low tech as it comes, but he's had that drone working for him for a good 6-7 years.That's the Horta class of drones, the one I linked is under $2k and I think would be a good tool to find your kills, if you had extra money lying around.
There was one for sale on here for $1,400.
Since I don't hog hunt and I'm upgrading to a BAE sensor thermal scope this year, I'm already dipping into the 2023 budget !!!
