I’ve been baiting hogs for about 3 months. I drove a t-post and mounted a green LED hog light with a solar panel and a small 6 volt lead acid battery. It lights them up pretty good.
The problem was my rifle scope. It is a Nikon P-223 1.5 to 4.5 zoom with only a 20mm objective, so it is worthless at night. I had 8 hogs night before last and couldn’t find my reticle, even with the hogs lit up by the hog light.
So I went to Cabela’s and got the Vortex Crossfire II 3-12x56 30mm Hog rifle scope. Huge difference. The hogs didn’t come up last night for me, but I have it sighted in and ready. I did have some raccoons, one deer and a pair of skunks come up for the corn last night but I’m after the hogs that are wrecking the pastures.
I’m looking for a true nightscope....no ambient light....
