A few months ago SHWAT Prostaffer Jared Hilton tagged me in a Facebook post. He didn’t know it at the time, but that action would later cause a chain of events to occur that lead to 118 hogs down in two nights. The post I clicked on took me to a video about the...
The N-Vision HALO and HALO-LR thermal optics changed the thermal game this year. For that to mean anything useful, all we have to do is look back a few years. Not too long ago if you were in the market for a new thermal the choice was simple; get an ATN Thor. Well,...
How can hunters best utilize the SiOnyx Aurora color night vision camera? It's a question that I asked the SiOnyx team when we first met. The action camera wasn't initially created for hunters. I've seen Law enforcement running Auroras, the cameras are big with...

If you hunt with night vision or are considering it, then you will inevitably find yourself looking into how to mount your choice of gear to your head. In that process, you will also inevitably come across the Wilcox line of night vision goggle (NVG) mounts. Wilcox...
Here in the south where most wild hogs live, it’s getting warmer. The high today at my home is predicted to be 87 degrees. Soon, hunting feral hogs in daylight will be futile in many places. As tactical hog hunters, we will be forced to operate in darkness. We will...
