1
00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:03.270
the

2
00:00:07.470 --> 00:00:24.480
the body prepares to some of atlanta

3
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:26.519
outdoors with you today you know i

4
00:00:26.521 --> 00:00:27.480
get to do a lot of cool

5
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:29.280
things as a writer in this industry

6
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:30.960
and one of the most enjoyable things

7
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:32.518
i get to do is go on

8
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:34.140
nuts now i've had the fortune to

9
00:00:34.140 --> 00:00:35.520
work with a couple of really cool

10
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:37.680
companies on some products and i've been

11
00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:39.570
able to write about them quite extensively

12
00:00:40.050 --> 00:00:41.910
both really put it all together though

13
00:00:41.910 --> 00:00:43.290
is a chance to take both these

14
00:00:43.290 --> 00:00:44.190
items on a hunt

15
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:46.440
guidance they're talking about are the new

16
00:00:46.770 --> 00:00:50.850
site mark wraith many thermal in the

17
00:00:50.850 --> 00:00:53.940
brand new stag pursuit and three await

18
00:00:53.940 --> 00:00:55.530
this is one of their new rifles

19
00:00:55.530 --> 00:00:57.210
in our new pursuit hunting line but

20
00:00:57.220 --> 00:00:58.980
a little scheduling i was on my

21
00:00:58.980 --> 00:01:00.870
way out to south central texas to

22
00:01:00.870 --> 00:01:02.700
do some hog hunting on the site

23
00:01:02.700 --> 00:01:04.710
mark ranch with a beautiful seven thousand

24
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.620
property about two hours south east of

25
00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:10.680
dallas beautiful area i was lucky because

26
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:11.761
we had a couple of the riders

27
00:01:11.761 --> 00:01:13.410
there as well it's always so nice

28
00:01:13.410 --> 00:01:15.360
to share stories and talk about equipment

29
00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:17.520
that we're going to be using everybody

30
00:01:17.850 --> 00:01:20.160
would be using the wraith mini thermal

31
00:01:20.220 --> 00:01:22.230
which is a fantastic piece of kit

32
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:24.270
so it's really nice when a thermal

33
00:01:24.335 --> 00:01:24.960
is actually

34
00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:26.580
the no light needed no eye or

35
00:01:26.580 --> 00:01:28.950
elimination he didn't like this and it's

36
00:01:28.980 --> 00:01:31.020
just as effective in the dusk as

37
00:01:31.020 --> 00:01:32.910
it is in the night there's lot

38
00:01:32.910 --> 00:01:34.110
of times where you're hunting hogs or

39
00:01:34.110 --> 00:01:35.730
hunting of the animals where they can

40
00:01:35.730 --> 00:01:37.410
be just in the tree line with

41
00:01:37.410 --> 00:01:39.000
shadows and you can't quite see them

42
00:01:39.330 --> 00:01:41.370
a thermal allows us puppets to pop

43
00:01:41.370 --> 00:01:43.830
up quite easily so the only guy

44
00:01:43.830 --> 00:01:45.120
added to my stay for

45
00:01:45.150 --> 00:01:47.670
suit rifle beyond the obvious optic was

46
00:01:47.670 --> 00:01:49.650
a dead air nomad thirty cal can

47
00:01:49.950 --> 00:01:51.510
i mean honestly if you're in a

48
00:01:51.510 --> 00:01:52.920
hut the best way to due to

49
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.380
suppressed was going to drink water and

50
00:01:55.380 --> 00:01:57.720
my partner quietly whispered hogs

51
00:01:58.950 --> 00:02:01.230
quickly brought the pursuit up got the

52
00:02:01.230 --> 00:02:03.330
wraith then the thermal into the into

53
00:02:03.330 --> 00:02:05.010
the area and we discovered there were

54
00:02:05.010 --> 00:02:07.290
two hogs sitting about one hundred and

55
00:02:07.290 --> 00:02:08.550
twenty have basically one hundred one hundred

56
00:02:08.550 --> 00:02:10.500
and twenty yards away from us while

57
00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:12.120
there were two that they were set

58
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.520
up quite nicely upon a little bit

59
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.860
of whispered discussion we decided that my

60
00:02:16.860 --> 00:02:17.759
friend would take the one with the

61
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:18.960
right i got

62
00:02:18.990 --> 00:02:20.640
the hog on the left it would

63
00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:22.794
be on the count of three the

64
00:02:22.794 --> 00:02:25.410
whispered count went down the shots broke

65
00:02:25.410 --> 00:02:27.803
almost simultaneously and both of our hogs

66
00:02:27.803 --> 00:02:29.760
rolled of course we did follow up

67
00:02:29.790 --> 00:02:33.300
shots hogs were pretty hardy even with

68
00:02:33.300 --> 00:02:35.760
a three-week with real late round my

69
00:02:35.779 --> 00:02:37.320
partners hog get up and skirt a

70
00:02:37.320 --> 00:02:38.850
little bit more but didn't make it

71
00:02:38.850 --> 00:02:39.120
far

72
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.670
car after little bit of time we

73
00:02:41.670 --> 00:02:44.220
quietly sat there made sure everything was

74
00:02:44.220 --> 00:02:46.140
quiet and still and this is what

75
00:02:46.140 --> 00:02:48.180
we're out thermal is really nice as

76
00:02:48.180 --> 00:02:50.460
well because we could look downrange even

77
00:02:50.460 --> 00:02:51.600
in the black of night it was

78
00:02:51.600 --> 00:02:53.700
almost a bullous night we could look

79
00:02:53.700 --> 00:02:56.490
down rage and see our animals in

80
00:02:56.490 --> 00:02:58.620
the brush which is very nice so

81
00:02:58.620 --> 00:02:59.280
if you're if you're

82
00:02:59.310 --> 00:03:00.990
hunting and you need to find game

83
00:03:00.993 --> 00:03:03.240
that maybe runs off a thermal is

84
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:05.550
a fantastic tool because they can be

85
00:03:05.550 --> 00:03:06.810
lane or do some brush that you

86
00:03:06.810 --> 00:03:07.530
would never see

87
00:03:08.670 --> 00:03:10.230
so we get back to the lodge

88
00:03:10.290 --> 00:03:11.580
and i get to chew on things

89
00:03:11.580 --> 00:03:13.080
a little bit as everybody does what

90
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:14.310
did i like what did i didn't

91
00:03:14.310 --> 00:03:16.200
like and honestly there was nothing that

92
00:03:16.200 --> 00:03:18.690
i didn't like the stag pursuit rifle

93
00:03:18.690 --> 00:03:21.300
performed a city well it was a

94
00:03:21.300 --> 00:03:24.030
tack driver the tibi tuesday sugar lobby

95
00:03:24.030 --> 00:03:25.890
to break a very clean and precise

96
00:03:25.890 --> 00:03:28.800
shot mix into that the wraith minutes

97
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.350
thermal and it is a dynamic package

98
00:03:31.350 --> 00:03:32.730
i just can't say enough about this

99
00:03:32.730 --> 00:03:34.740
optic the ability to see into the

100
00:03:34.740 --> 00:03:37.110
dusk of the night it had clear

101
00:03:37.110 --> 00:03:39.600
images this isn't some fuzzy maybe i

102
00:03:39.600 --> 00:03:41.880
dunno what that is the resolution on

103
00:03:41.880 --> 00:03:43.950
these are really really nice and it

104
00:03:43.950 --> 00:03:46.560
isn't a whole lot of optic especially

105
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:48.300
for the price point normally we don't

106
00:03:48.300 --> 00:03:48.960
talk about that too

107
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:51.360
too much because optics are optics but

108
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:52.620
you get a lot more than you

109
00:03:52.620 --> 00:03:53.700
can imagine with this

110
00:03:54.870 --> 00:03:55.770
so i'll tell you this if you

111
00:03:55.770 --> 00:03:57.150
get a chance to go hog hunting

112
00:03:57.750 --> 00:03:59.370
this little combo right here is something

113
00:03:59.370 --> 00:04:01.320
you might consider so until i see

114
00:04:01.320 --> 00:04:02.790
