*** Why Hunt Hogs? ***
My journey into wild/feral hog hunting started like many others living in rural communities. I didn't start hog hunting for fun or sport... I did it because I had to. My father-in-law started me on this path several years ago when he asked me to help out with a problem. You see, hogs cause millions of dollars of damage and destruction each year in rural communities and our situation was no different. Hogs were destroying our land, our family's land, and the land our family tree farming business. The vast majority of hunting videos that you see on this channel are hogs, boars and sows, taken from family land... this problem is personal for me. We have had hogs come as close as 20 feet from my front door, and having 2 small children at home and knowing how aggressive and dangerous hogs can be, getting rid of the problem was a safety concern. This is why when people ask how I got into hog hunting... my answer is always "I didn't get into it because I wanted to, I started doing it because I had to!". It's a personal fight and struggle...
__________________________________________________
*** Why Hunt Coyotes and Predators? ***
Coyotes and Predators, similar to hogs, cause financial stress for many families in rural communities. Coyotes kill livestock, plain and simple. Ranchers have battled coyotes killing cattle since the early days of ranching and it costs them dearly. Cattle ranching is a business, the cows aren't pets, every time they lose a calf to a coyote those families lose a paycheck. Cattle ranchers hate coyotes just as much as Farmers hate hogs! I hunt coyotes to protect the livelihood of my friends and neighbors that depend on their cattle business to feed their family...

You find more information about the iRay Rico 384 MK1 on Ep. 149 of The Late Night Vision Show Podcast on RUclips. The Rico and all other optics can be found out outdoorlegacygear.com. Thank you for watching and sharing!
Just bought the mount, thank you!
Hey mate, I appreciate all of you thermal vids including the late night vision show. Very indepth and factual. I'm from New Zealand and use to have the older trail xp50 lrf but sold it due to not much use but there are definitely a lot of newer names on the scene. I'm back in the market for a scope and handheld. Iray and nvision look like great quality and affordable for their image. Do you happen to send internationally? As the prices in NZ get hiked up quite a bit not to mention only suppliers dealing with pulsar or atn. Cheers, Dan
I've been wanting to get thermal and decided on the reap-ir so far. It's also the only thermal I've ever used.... I know they're good but are they worth the extra couple grand?
Nice review Hans! Image looks spectacular.
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Can you review the nvision halo x? I love how in depth your reviews are and I haven't found anyone showing features of the halo x. Would be cool to see colors and reticles.
Thanks again for all that good information. That looks like a scope I might have to take a closer look at. Just need to get my friend to let me go to his ranch.
Thank you for the kind words and for watching Larry!
Is the image performance/quality not up to par with other scopes like the Bolt T35, Pulsar XQ50 etc? There's been a huge price drop on this model.
Definitely saving my money for this. Perfect birthday gift to myself!
Haha I agree a Chris
@@HansETX is the rico 50 much better in image quality to spend the extra money?
you should do a comparison with rl42 and the new g series 38 lrf
Need a video on the laser rangefinder that attaches to this unit. Keep up the great vids. Awesome
Thank you Shawn... You're right, I need to do an update video
What ammo do you use for hog hunting?
Rico 384 vs. Super Hogster for hunting coyotes in North Dakota, which route would you recommend? Either one would definitely have an external battery pack attached...and will have a separate handheld scanner. Visibility is literally measured in miles during the daylight....very flat, very open country, very little trees or anything else like that
I'd say the 4x Rico 384 would give you more of an advantage than the 3x Hogster
My buddy just bought this scope, love everything about it but it needs better retical options and retical colors, I have a flir PST 536 and prefer the reticle options better
Thanks for watching Jeff!
Been waiting for this with card in hand for weeks lol
Thank you for watching!
Go ahead and say it. Irving, TX! 👍🏻
As you were mentioning who the scope would be good for, you kept getting closer and closer to describing me. Over corn. Ladder stand. Old fart with bad eyes. I figured your next sentence was going to mention my name specifically! 🤣
I think this will be a great line of scopes. Love the warranty and the promise of speedy service. I won’t mention names but some other companies could learn from this!
What rifle were you using? I ask only because there were a lot of second shots taken, which is more my shooting style, not yours! 🤪
Haha. Using a 6.5 grendel 18 inch.. but the ammo I’m using is my least favorite
Hi!
I can’t turn on the grid on the RICO RL 42. We don’t have this function in menu and don’t know how to turn on this.
Can you help me with this please?
The reticle?
Nice shot. Really clear for a 384..
Thank your for watching!
Damn nice shooting!
Thank you Tracy!
Loved it
I have the rl 42 and it’s top notch
Thanks for watching Davey!
How's the image quality? Can you adjust the contrast? What ranges are you using this? I'm considering this for coyotes under 200 yrds since there's been a large price drop on this model.
I'm just wondering if the iRays are going to start developing issues like the Pulsars not holding zero? It took a while with the Pulsars until they had a few "miles on the clock." The iRays are rated up to 300 win mag and Pulsars to 375 H&H. Will they even be as robust as the Pulsars? Having said that, the Trijicons are only rated to 308 Win. Id love to see a review on the Canadian GSCI TI-GEAR S. 50 cal recoil rating and uninterrupted viewing. It automatically NUCs without the stop starting and no degradation of image quality. Sounds pretty incredible?
I'm not familiar with GSCI but that does sound pretty awesome. No thermal brand is without some small minor issues but for iRay to implement a 5 year and 5 business day repair or replace guarantee shows that they are committed to customer assurance. Thanks for watching!
@@HansETX Yeah, that does sound like a great warranty. GSCI has a 7 yr limited warranty. I think the "limited" only refers to the germanium glass because they have to pass on the glass manufacturers warranty. Thanks for replying Hans. Good Hunting.
Sounds like optics manufacturers need to stop rating by caliber and move to rating how many G's it can handle, or something along the lines of vibration Hz/energy. Ex, had a 5.56 AR with really annoying recoil. Super sharp but not heavy. Switched buffers and it was a light push. Same caliber, same gun, slightly different configuration, night and day difference in recoil. Are the trijicons rated for .308 bolt action recoil or SCAR recoil? They're both .308 but one has a rep for eating optics and shaking itself apart. Is the 300 mag a 15 pound rifle with an aggressive brake? Is the 375 a 9 pound walking rifle or is it 13 pounds?
Not sure why but it seems like you got a lot better footage with this one than you did with a 640. Maybe it was the weather.
Thanks for watching Max... Yeah the weather wasn't great when I had the 640 unfortunately
Can you use this during the day or is it night only?
Thermal can be used during the day. Thanks Tanner
Good mounts matter. Especially in the days of $2 a shot ammo
Exactly right!
Hey mate. Any idea why they have a 5 year warranty in the US but only 2 years in Australia
The warranty is determined by the distributor in a given country
@@HansETX Awesome mate cheers for the reply. Keep up the Vids
@@HansETX would you recommend the rico42 over the thermion2 xq50?
In your opinion is the 640 worth 2k additional price
Only if a lower magnification fits within your hunting application... Thanks for watching
@@HansETX i use a 3x14 NV now and is all i really need. What would be your best guess on the detection and ID ranges?
Hi Hans, have you played with the BoBro pulsar thermal mount for the Rico? I hear it’s as good if not better than the ADM for RTZ on different rifles. Any opinion on that?
Hey George, thanks for watching. I've never tried to BoBro's, ADM has been used on my high end thermals for a long time. I've heard good things about the BoBros but never tried them
I don’t want to spend over $200 and want a tripod that will hold my gun any recommendations?
Bog Deathgrip, look no further
Slik 700 Pro for the legs, and then figure out a ball head or clamp for holding your rifle....do not waste your money on a Bogpod Deathgrip...it’s a heavy POS....heavy duty built, but still a heavy POS
I've heard good things about the bog deathgrip like Daniel said...
@@HansETX it’s supposed to be here today
Shouldnt a 6k scope come with a good mount?
This scope is 4k. But yea, I get it.
Too bad American Defense Manufacturing doesn't make thermals...
@@HansETX then folks would want an IRAY mount.
Howdy from wood county. Anyone local shops out here that do night vision?
Thanks for watching! I'm not sure...
Just bought this. Dallas, ga!!! 3000 acres of land to slay some coyotes
Too bad you don’t have any feral hogs there in GA. I know I guy in FL who would help you kill them. 🤣
@@useruser400 what world do you live in LOL. No feral hogs in ga?
@@justingibson_crunch7738 I was teasing. You said you got the thermal scope to slay coyotes. Which I jokingly took to mean that you didn’t have any feral hogs to kill on your 3000 acres.
I know GA is overrun with feral hogs and I’m close enough to help you kill them. I’ve got a FLIR and I hunt pigs whenever possible around my region.
@@useruser400 hey man, more the merry. You can come out
Thanks for watching Justin! Good luck sir...
Why in the world would they not include audio on this?
No disrespect your game deserves clean kill better accuracy from you. You need to get some training in offhand (I have no idea why standing is called offhand). At only 50 you are moving way too much. I know 90% of shooters shoot better than 90% of shooters but @50y you should be swinging to shoot within 8” and steady inside of 2”.
For reference Marines shoot open sights on a 12” bullseye at 200 & 300y.
