The Late Night Vision Show

We’re back with another great episode and again this week our guest is Glenn Guess of Hog Zombies. If you missed last week’s introductory show with Glenn, stop now and go watch or listen to it. Glenn is one of the premier predator callers in the hunting world and whether he’ll admit it or not, he’s by far the most knowledgeable and experienced hog caller in the country and maybe the world. Glenn h...

 We’ve had a lot of great guests on The Late Night Vision Show but this week we’ve got another great interview that definitely ranks up there as one of, if not THE most informative interview we’ve ever done. We are honored to have Glenn Guess aka The Boar Caller of Hog Zombies on the podcast. For many, Glenn Guess is a household name but for those that aren’t familiar with Glenn yet, he is th...

We’ve had some recent listener questions that we wanted to address on the show, so this week spend some time discussing two topics.

ATN. Say the name and you’ll get a strong response. Sometimes it’s a glowing review by a happy customer and other times it’s a foul language from an unhappy customer. For 40 episodes of The Late Night Vision Show, we mentioned almost nothing about ATN. Never a scope review, never a recommendation, we basically acted as if they didn’t exist and this puzzled many people and generated many questions...

On Episode 40 of The Late Night Vision Show Hans and Jason dig into the specs and details of the soon to be released Sightmark Wraith HD 4-32x50 digital night vision rifle scope.

Episode 39 is The Late Night Vision Show recap of Hans and Jason’s week at the annual SHOT Show in Las Vegas. The good news is they both made it back to Texas with enough money left in their wallets to buy more thermal and night hunting gear. It’s a good thing the SHOT Show doesn’t allow companies to sell their products at the show because if they did, Hans and Jason would probably both be broke....

Many of our listeners have been asking us to do a full review on the Trijicon REAP-IR thermal rifle scope for a long time. We haven’t been intentionally ignoring this request; we use and love Trijicon thermals but we just haven’t had time to get around to a full review. Finally, the wait is over and on Episode 35, we offer up our take on the REAP-IR; the good, the not-so-good and our overall thoug...

In this light hearted episode the guys poke fun at some common questions they often hear and they even admit th...

Episode 28 is live and this week Hans and Jason are back with another handheld review. This week they are changing gears and reviewing a high end thermal handheld optic called the Atlas that’s made by a company named N-Vision.

Hans and Jason reduced the list...

This week on The Late Night Vision Show Hans and Jason once again compare two models of thermal rifle scopes.

In the second segment of the podcast they discuss realistic shooting distances when night hunting. Many hunters who are new t...

It’s listener feedback time again! On Episode 23 of the podcast we have some great listener feedback from last week’s show on how hog hunting pressure affects deer movement.

The link to that article is below and if you are a deer hunter, it’s well worth your time to read it....

Many states, especially in the South have large hog and deer populations. Every Fall on deer leases and managed clubs many night time hog hunters are asked to stop hunting hogs so that they don’t scare off the deer.
