so im starting to shoot these fuckers more at night now.


i think im going to take my EEEK AR15 and make it my night pig dispatcher.

still havent even shot the fucking thing :rolleyes:

since ammo is getting cheaper im wanting to shoot it ;)


so what would make life easier shooting these yummy bacon runners?
we Qbeam them from the jeep and can spot them about 100-200 yds out. we then try to haul ass up to them in the jeep, pile out and get to blastin. normally im shooting 30+yards away and they are normally gettin the fawk outta dodge. quick.

so you sometimes have a Qbeam behind you for light but using iron sights on my AK brings the suck and normally is just spray and pray, and using kentucky windage on where my shots are hitting. i want to stop that and start dropping these bitches :smokin:

i was thinking some type of optic on the upper rail, and either my surefire or my TLR2 underneath it?

we zip tied and duct taped a green pointer laser on my buddies AK and remarkably it works well :laughing:

those green lasers are cool in a tacticool typa way.


OSR, show me teh way :)

EOTech, Aimpoint or ACOG, take your pick I personally like the EOTech

Or slighty cheaper would be a Millett DMS-1

could ya point me in the "i have no fucking clue whats the difference between them all and whats the pro's/cons of them" direction?


kthanks :)

You have a red star... Use it :flipoff2:

There ya go... I just searched Aimpoint vs eotech

:beer:

EOTech

that is what sits atop my ar10 for night time pig eratication... just make sure to turn it on and adjust it way down prior to filling out of the eratication vehical. i turn mine on the 4 hr setting so if i forget about it it is not a big deal

pic of said thingie plz and how much. need to budget this shit into my pig expenses.

400... i think, mine is locked up and yeah, i am too lazy to get it out but i will find a pic for you...

this is the optic but i do not remember paying that much for it... ask ol aloha what he can do you for...

At 30+ yards at night I really think that one of those lasers with a grip switch would be awesome. I know lasers suck ass outside in the daytime but in low light it would be wicked fast target accusition and pretty much point and shoot at that short range.

so im starting to shoot these fuckers more at night now.

No wonder they sent in a new cleaning crew!!

I like the laser idea for at night. I believe Doc has experience with this and armadillos.

When I saw the thread title I really thought this thread was going to involve peanuts and Dr. Pepper.

Why cant you shoot from in the Jeep? i would be on top of the roll bar and using it to shoot off of. i usually do this standing in the bed of a truck and shooting off the top of the cab.


Millet or the Bushnell would do you good. depending on how this week goes, i may have a brand new DMS-1 for sale all ready to go...

this is normally done as well, dending if we're still driving it or not.

No real input other than it sounds awesome - never lived anywhere that night hunting was legal. Let alone being able to shoot out of a vehicle. Both major no-no's round here.

i would say you should check your local laws specific to non-native and nuisance animals which hogs are both here in Texas which means you dont need a season to hunt them, you can hunt from a vehicle, and use any type of weapon you want, as long as you have a hunting license. its COMPLETELY different game when it comes to migratory birds and game animals...

tejas means open season on piggies. i heard they might be putting a bounty on them soon like 'yotes? that would fucking rawk :smokin:

good thing i have 1000+ acres locked up in prime piggie area :evil:


im bringing diesel, sour mash from a beer experiment and some deer corn next time. we'll see what they like.

we get there around 6, can set out bait within an hour, and normally hunt untill about 3 am.
actually tell me what to bring for bait. it will be an experiment. if it works you might get some back strap sent your way :grinpimp:

deisel, corn, and strawberry jello powder. old shitty beer works well too, but i wouldnt waste good beer if you could get away with it.

mix that all together and then piss in it.

Enjoy!

In AZ, you still have to have the correct permit to take non-native nuisance animals.

Meaning which, you need a fishing license to take bullfrogs.

Although there is no bag limit, and AZGFD encourages you to kill all that you can possibly find.

well beleive me, we shoot (at) all we see :)

that is the only way to control them... do not worry, they will never go away but at least they will be "in control" :shaking:

I know you're not a dumbass, but you said you haven't shot the ar before... Using the night site (0-2 aperture) will help but still suck. Go buy some tracers at the local gun show and bumpfire that bitch!

i have a cheap ass carry handle that has a rear sight...... it sucks. the windage knob "clicks" like it should, BUT when you flip the back sight from small to large peep sight, it shifts the whole screw thing in the handle its self. you can push it back and forth left to right... i might be able to tighten it up, but would rather just remove the carry handle off the rail and stick something better on top of it. as soon as i got it on there i went "this is a peice of shit" lol


tracers sound and would be neat as shit,(expensive) but tracer=hot. im not down for catching the field on fire when it hits the ground or goes off into the woods.

If I can come on the next hunt I can bring an eotech and an ACOG and some other sight that I can't remember for you to check out. :D

not sure why you would want to use an ar15 on hogs. I use a 22-250 bolt and bet i grab as many hogs. shooting from in vehicle here is a no no but shooting jack rabbits and even yotes from in the truck is still done sometimes. I live in a very heavily populated yote area and pigs are about 20 miles up the hwy. as for the scope. if you have the cash, atn makes some steller night scopes. if you are looking for laser type stuff this is pretty tight

we quickly found out that semi auto is the only way to go with our location and situation. i tried knocking them out with my mosin M44 but the fire blast would partially kill my night vision and you have multiple pigs running from you.

two years ago, i was walking back to my truck with my AR i had been deer hunting with, it was too dark to hunt anymore but i dont carry a flashlight and i can still see. About 20 come out into the road in front where i am walking. I drop down to one knee to shoot me a little one. once i pulled the trigger the first time, that sent them into a frenzy, running all over the place... not knowing if one will come out of the grass and slice my legs. i got off 6 more shots and killed 3 more. the other shots hit but they ran off..... that shit gets your heart pounding.... im right there with you, Halo!

yea the AK is very fun to rack off as fast as you can line the sights up again :smokin:

I put a green laser on an accessory block-bolted to the front of my stock AR front sight body.

Keeping my head up, I could better see things in whatever normal suburban light was available (vs looking through the peep, sight body blocking some view).

Haven't tried it out on critters yet.

Not to be an arse, but IMHO even a pig deserves a decent shot, not some spray and pray type of effort.

Unless of course the pigs are liberals :)

decent shot= shooting at them TRYING to kill them ALL.


we arnt shooting from the hip or something

HG - I am setting up my AR15 ORC for just this...I have a Trijicon ACOG on order and I plan on dropping a night vision scope in front of it on the forward rail.

Perhaps I could get an invite to your 1000 acres and we could test drive it together :D

We got into a mess of Javi's last year (about 2 dozen) and all I had was my 300WSM....my shoulder was a litele sore the next day so I will be looking forward to the AR...

Night-vision scopes is where it is all at man. I would think shotting hog siwth AR's and AK's would be sweet. :jester:
Hell now I wish we had wild hogs so I could go and hunt a tnight. :laughing:

mosin M44

Have someone else shoot it.

Let that basket-ball sized fireball illuminate the field for you.

Do you have a point here? or were you recently recruited by PETA? :shaking:

wtf do you think my point is dumb fawk? my point is to shot them all if you want any use of your land... i am sorry you are not smart enough to see that. maybe you should see if there is a 6 or 7 year old there so they relate it to you on your level. :shaking:

what is the price diffrance between the nv scope and the head gear? if you are in a blind or a fixed place i can see where the scope would be the tits... but if you are riding then stalking it seems the googles would be better. at 2k or more they are out of my pig killin budget. its bad enough i have an ar10 with the eotech to kill these fawkers

hell this is supposed to be fun and shit, not cost a shit ton :)

i shoot deer behind the ear, to break the neck. i shot 4 deer this year while culling on the ranch i work at. i, too, have other guns that i can shoot different animals with, listing them all here in this post would not contribute much to this thread. if you want to discuss it more, start a new thread or PM me.

i will be doing some night hunting on saturday night.... hopefully will get a chance to throw some bullets at some pigs. but its going to be mostly, coons, porcupines, coyotes, and other varmints and nuisances. sadly, because of how and where i will be doing this critter control, its going to be shotgun only.

but i will have my AR slung across my back in case we do flush out some hogs, and im sure Halo's plight and mine will be very similar at that point! :flipoff2:

i ordered a UTG free float front hand gard, a green laser light and a eotech clone. we'll see how they hold up. ill update when i get them installed

The laser will be your best bet for cheap, bring batteries :laughing:

oh and suppressed :laughing: Pricey but they never see me coming.

If you can soft backlight them it will make shooting easier. Toss a bunch of red chemlights in a line 10-20 yards behind your food piles. They will never notice them and it will give a soft backlight.

I would run your laser and have a spotter on binos with a 11tymillion candlepower plug in light.

the area we do this in has no feeders for the piggies. we were just gonna drop some grain/pig bait/strawberry jello in different spots to see if we could find them in specific areas. we are cruising on 1000 acres, going from pasture to pasture along the brush line. it would be hard to do that.

our best nights are normally full moons. we drive with the jeep lights off and use the moonlight to keep us in check with the fence posts.... normally you can see a shadow running. thats then the qbeam comes out :D

seems like every time we go... including sat night, it is either cloudy or little to no moon. we cruise in the little jap minis. if i drive i try and kreep up to the fields or holes with the park lights or no lights if i can. i wanted to try on a full moon so i could see enough to get up on them with no lights then hit them. i keep trying to get my bud to bring his jeep so there is no windshield to deal with.

as fart as bait... have you tried or can you dig the holes and pour corn in them? we have a 3'x8" augger and it will dig a hole that will hold about 40 lbs or shelled corn. mix in some sour milk or some grape kool-aid and you have a pig that will have his hands full for a week trying to get to the bottom... use caution tho... it will look like a bomb went off before it is over. i think we can do one more good night shoot before deer season. i will post some before and after shots of these holes.

How about some of us Tx locals, who have never been pig hunting before, come join in on some of the night-time pig shootin fun??

I hope that's a typo!!!! :laughing:

the owner of the property told me this:


if your ass is gonna be ATTRACTING those mother fuckers to my property, i EXEPECT you to kill more than one or two.

i would love to make a pig hole, but the owner im sure wouldnt be pleased. we can only go out there realistically once per week...... drive out there sat day, hunt sat night and drive back sunday.

now if we took a few days off, might be another story.
ill tell you guys how my strawberry jello and piss bait works :D
and it wouldnt be "pig" it would be "pigS".... as in 20+ rootin for that hole.

:lmao:


I hope that's a typo!!!! :laughing:

LOL... that is indeed a typo... funny but still a typo.

i understand his concern... we fawked up a couple of fields when we were selling hog hunts at the club... man we used some deer stands or plots if the person allowed us to otherwise we just set up outside there protected area. my bud had a field they basicly ruined anyway so we drilled some in there. if it was salvagable before it is fawked up now.

... but, if you could do a weekend deal then the holes will be sweet.

There are some guys having a lot of luck with those $30 rechargeable landscaping lights at Home Depot for lighting up pig bait stations. They come on at dusk and last until 2 or 3 in the morning, then they are good to go again the next night.

If you have a constant source of light the pigs will still come in - as long as it isn't too bright. They aren't as skittish of a constant light as they are one that just comes on out of nowhere, especially a bright one. Those light provide just enough light at 20 yard to get a bow pin on one, it should be plenty of light for a good scope. Check this out to see what I'm talking about, works really well for bait stations when you can set something like this up: http://discussions.texasbowhunter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=80310


I used to use one of those scope mounted hog lights, I was walking through a field about midnight one night when I hear some squeals coming my way, so I laid down where I was and waited. Yeah, that light ran out of juice right as big daddy came into view - when the light died he let out a grunt and they all went running. I had to change my short after that one :D

when they start running, the fence confuses them :)

if it were me and my buddy though, there woulda been a lot more shooting going on with our AK's :homer :D

that bow aint gonna work where we're hunting...... :(

that bow aint gonna work where we're hunting...... :(

I've got an AR too, open sights though, and no hog light :(

I do still have that setup I was using a few years back, have to get it out of the dry box and see if it still works. :D

That vid is pretty insane, makes me want to try a setup like that at the lease. I thought it was gonna be a bow shot then WWIII broke out. I bet the little one that got away will never go near another feeder again :D

You think you'd put the barbed wire up all at once or slowly enclose it? Can't figure out which would work better.

Are ya'll using the jello/corn thing? Have you heard of Black Gold? It's supposed to really bring them in: http://www.inheatscents.net/blackgold.html

prolly 3 side it, then slowly pull that 4th side in to mebbe a 3-4 foot opening?

holy shit... i am gonna go set one of those up. that seems to work pretty well!

I bet the little one that got away will never go near another feeder again :D




they are clever but also pretty dumb. if you shoot one.... just let it lay there for about 5 minutes. you have a 70% chance that the others will come back.

im fairly certain that little piggy probably came back to that spot in the next couple of days....

If so, I bet a good chunk of it's scalp was missing, that was a close one...

do you know that guy or did you just find the vid? what was he shootin?

What we used as a bait:
Corn mixed with milk (cheap powdered one) and a little bit of diesel.
Mix in a bucket and let it set for about a week. It'll smell pretty darn bad.

Used that stuff to bait our trap:

http://up.picr.de/2667059.jpg


The trap makes it pretty simple. You don't have to wait for the pigs to show up, and you'll have an easy time killing them. We always shot them with a .22, works even on the big ones if you hit the right spot (right behind the ear).

We never did have much luck spotlighting them at night with a vehicle as they always started running off as soon as they heard/seen the vehicle pull up. The light didn't seem to have much effect on them (unlike on deer, where they will just freeze and look at you)...

we cruise in a little stock 4 cylinder TJ jeep. its UBER quiet. well minus the cracked exhaust manifold under load. cruise it in 1st at about 1200 rpm and its damn near silent :smokin:


we put red cellophane over the qbeam to keep the blinding white from spooking them. havent been able to see them yet with it to see if it makes a difference, but it sure is easier on our eyes at least :)


i would totally trap and bait them with a feeder, but we're not out there for days at a time....... one night a week (sat) and so far we havent been able to go back to back weekends either :(

i wanted to go this weekend, but we're going to a buddies bar to get wasted for free and get poured out the door.
next weekend we're going though :D

do you know that guy or did you just find the vid? what was he shootin?

Nah, it was posted on an Archery board. As far as I know it was two guys with shotguns and one longbow shooter (that's the first sound you hear before the first shotgun blast).

Doesn't matter what color the light is really, it just can't be BRIGHT. If you have a q-beam it's probably too bright.

Instead of getting a spin type $100 feeder, just go get about a 6' section of 4" PVC, some screw on caps, a t-post and a section of chain. Drill about 6 1/2-3/4" holes down the side, fill it with you corn mixture (a tad of diesel will keep everything but the pigs away from it), chain it to the post and leave it out there. Doesn't matter if your not around for days or even a couple of weeks at a time, that pig pipe will get them in for you.

Mine will hold corn for about 2 weeks before it's empty...

you think some leech line PVC pipe with the pre drilled holes will work?


so basically like a chum stick you would use fishing? a cap would have the chain attached to it, the other side you would fill and let them push it around on the ground and slowly let the corn come out the holes......


nice idea!!!

i wanted to go this weekend, but we're going to a buddies bar to get wasted for free and get poured out the door.




oh yea, update. from what i remembered it was REALLY fun. from what i was told, i drank a lot and puked a lot as well.

the wife ISNT amused :laughing:

you think some leech line PVC pipe with the pre drilled holes will work?

Not sure on the leach line, never tried the stuff - you don't want too many holes or holes that are too big, you want them to work to get the corn out, but not work so hard they end up walking away from it.

What I do is drill the holes so they go around the pipe - drill one hole, rotate the pipe 90 degrees and drill another hole about 1-1.5 foot from the last hole. So what you get is a "spiral" of holes down the pipe so as the hogs roll the pipe there is always a hole for the corn to fall out of.

But, yeah, you get the gist of it. Once they find that pipe they will wear a circle in the ground from rolling it. And, it makes plenty of noise so you know when the hogs are on it. They will work harder, and stay in the area longer, getting the same amount of corn from that pipe that a spin type feeder will throw in one spin.

If you need more capacity (lots of hogs or you need to be away from the feeder longer) you can go up to 6" PVC...

It's cheap, and it works :)

the idea is great but i have beef with the material and i believe they will break the PVC.

My cousin uses the same method but with a keg shell and drill some holes in it, not too many though. use the deisel, corn and strawberry jello mix. cut the ball valve out of the keg, and weld in a screw-on type cap so you can pour stuff in it. the old stinky beer smell helps too.

you should see the dents and dings the hogs put in that keg shell. they will literally lift it up off the ground and drop it down again. i just think your PVC will not hold up very long....

how about some pipe or something?

i think if it was metal you would be a lot better off. can reuse it for many years to come. i actually have two keg shells sitting in my garage, maybe three. if you are ever out this way, let me know....

actually i might experiment with making something like this with my new mig welder (not really new, just am dusting it off and getting it ready for use again) :flipoff2:

where are you at? I wanna shoot pigs too!!

Haven't had one break yet. I've had them break the chain and roll the pipe 20-50 yards away, but the PVC itself hasn't broke...

Yet.

I've been doing this about 3 or 4 years after having "not so much" luck with some other pig pipe ideas, and I wasn't too fond of putting diesel in my deer feeder (and I didn't want to spend another $100 on a spinner feeder).

Fabbing one up from metal prolly isn't a bad idea, but with the cost difference on metal vs. PVC you could loose 20 or so PVC pipes before even being close to what it would cost in metal.

Regardless, whatever material you choose, it's one of the best way to bait hogs I've found, keeps them working that area and they make a shit load of noise when they are on the bait.
