Double Naught Spy
Sus Venator
After 5 years of hunting with various forms of night vision and two years using a small FLIR PS32 thermal spotting scope to help find hogs, I finally picked up a thermal rifle scope. I had actually purchased an ATN last year but had returned it because of a problem. In that time, FLIR dropped the price of the microbolometer that is used by several companies for their scopes, including Armasight, ATN, FLIR, IR Defense, etc. As a result I was able to actually get the next step up in resolution for the same amount that I paid last year for the ATN.
I purchased an Armasight Zeus 3x, 640x512 resolution, 75mm, 30hz. As with several other brands in comparable specs, it is pretty amazing what it can see. I have been using it for about 3 weeks now and have had 4 successful hunts. The DVR recording is actually fairly degraded from what you can see through the scope itself and the horizontal lines are not seen in the scope.
I hope you enjoy the vids...
My first hog with the new scope. It had been previously shot through the neck. I caught him under the feeder on the way out after I thought my hunt was over...

The next two vids took place the same night on different properties...

This morning's hog, after a long night of only seeing deer, caught another one under the feeder on the way back to the truck...
