As we enter into the summer slowdown of night hunting, often considered the “off season” by many, Jason and Hans take some time to answer common questions about how to care for your thermal or NV optic, batteries, how to clean it, store it etc. Some hunters, depending on their local laws or their hardcore dedication to night hunting might not have a real “off season” but there is still good practi...

As thermal optic technology continues to improve and new features emerge, we are excited to be able to use, test and review the latest optics to come to the market.

The market has been ripe for more options in the 640 high resolution thermal handheld category and AGM saw the need and decided to fill it.

Are hog and predator hunting tournaments bad for the sport of night hunting? This is an interesting discussion that Hans and Jason discuss on today's show. Some hunters contend they are bad for the sport because they give anti-hunters more fuel to throw at the sport, while others say the tournaments decimate the hog and predator populations. On the other side of the coin many hunters see the t...

When it comes to buying a new thermal or night vision optic there is a lot of confusion and questions around the different body, styles of optics, as well as the different types of battery pack systems.

This episode on the podcast we mix things up a little bit with a new topic but one we’re getting an increasing number of calls and questions about; using thermals for coon and squirrel hunting.
