  • Very impressive shooting! These guys are way too over populated keep it up

  • do yo eat these guys?

  • @MERCURHILLMANIAC- This vanadium oxide, 384 x 288 thermal scope costs $14,700. There is no reason to shoot a heavy recoiling caliber such as a .338 magnum on feral hogs. We have harvested over 5,000 in the past few years using .308 caliber DPMS and Remington R-25 semi-automatic rifles while shooting 180-grain Nosler Partition and 178-grain Hornady A-Max bullets. All you need is a .308 caliber semi-autmatic rifle for high-volume hog control.

  • Excellent work gents, regards from Pakistan

  • Nice Videos! Greating from the hungarian hunters!

  • This video was rather interesting, but I have a question. Since I'm not really into this all business, I saw the maximum fire range in this video you shot at was 15 yards. Is that the limit of the rifle/scope? Or just a persional refferance?

  • @iPodGaming- The longest shot on this video was 150 yards using a 320 x 240 resolution thermal scope with a 65mm lens. Maximum detection range with this scope is 600 yards and maximum recognition range is around 300 yards. This means you can see a thermal signature of something at 600 yards but you need to be inside 300 yards to properly identify the animal as a feral hog, deer or coyote. Inexperienced night hunters cannot properly identify their target when using substandard thermal equipment.

  • @JAGERPRO 600 yards? That's pretty impressive. I understand... So if it's as far as 600 yards, all I'll see is just a white mark, and I won't recognize, thanks for the quick reply!

  • Thermal Cameras have color. Why is the ground dark? Is everything above the horizon white? What's the temperature of the environment?

  • @Psych0Zach- Some thermal cameras are manufactured to produce color, but not thermal rifle scopes. Thermal technology works by capturing the upper portion of the infrared light spectrum which is emitted as heat by objects. Hot objects such as body heat emit more of this light than cooler objects like trees. When viewed in a gray scale, hot objects appear white and cooler objects appear black. This technology works best at night since a hog's body temperature is 102 degrees.

  • @JAGERPRO So the ground was colder than the sky and the sky was colder than the animal?

  • love it

  • Great shootin boys. Movin targets ain't never been a problem for me.

  • JagerPro, These videos are fantastic! Doesn't give the pig much of a fighting chance lol but that is the pigs problem. I was looking into getting a night vision scope for wild dogs, but this shits on that idea. Keep up the good work on the pigs! I hate the buggers got so many of em here in Oz.

  • @mrmalikperry- Farmers do not pay us to remove feral hogs. Our income is received from guest hunters who book an experience with us just like any other professional outfitter. Hunters are paying to be part of our nightly hog control missions using the same technology our Soldiers are using in combat. Farmers receive high volume hog control for free, hunters get a (no limit) experience of a lifetime and our guides earn a living providing the methods and technology to solve the problem.

  • Outstanding Job Gents!!! Please come show these Texas boys how its done next!!!

    /salute

  • dam thats good

  • I'm in shock !!!!  That has was so sweet!!! Glad to see your doing your part so well in controling the hog population......still millions left keep shooting :)

  • bo that looks like most fun you could have with ur clothes on

  • Why not just use a silencer, so all hell wouldn't break loose after the first shot?

  • @Asterix1806- Hunting hogs in Georgia with suppressors is not legal via the hunting regulation. We have tested suppressors on feral hogs and it does NOT give the hunter any advantage. They won't just stand there and let you shoot the entire group with a suppressed rifle. Subsonic bullets shot through a suppressor will not cycle a semi-automatic rifle and are too slow for high-volume success. Hogs are very intelligent and still run out of the field when a subsonic bullet impacts another hog.

  • @JAGERPRO ive always wanted someone to answer the subsonic question. thanks.

  • @JAGERPRO these hog hunting videos are my favorite by far then any other video on youtube.

  • @Asterix1806 Because it's not legal and a suppressor still doesn't stop the crack of the bullet.

  • fuck awesome!!!just like cod!!haha

  • this is through a thermal scope I am aware. at 1:05 when those hogs were running...the white substance that were left behind, are they dust particles from the ground or hot farts? Just curious, honestly.

  • @CGYJZ- The scopes are set to 'white hot' to detect thermal energy or heat. The white substance left behind was the thermal energy coming off the dirt as the hogs ran. A low quality thermal device would not have high enough resolution to detect this difference in a peanut field. You can also see thermal spray (blood) from bullet impact at .50 and .55 seconds. Anything white has more heat or thermal energy than the surrounding area.

  • this are no poore pigs.its just our nextweek bacon !!!!!

  • Damn nice shots

  • #1 Hog Dog!

  • this looks like its so fun to do

  • @DieWalrossen Jager's right they're a nuisance

  • How much do the scopes cost, probably expensive like 1,200 -2,500 right?

  • @crazyfreakypunk or like $12,000?

  • im speechless. my dad took me hunting for deer in texas and i killed more hogs than i can count. i just wish we had one of these because we could really get rid of those things. whered you get those scopes from?

  • @DieWalrossen- Poor pigs? Why is it always a young gamer making ignorant comments about a subject you know absolutely nothing about? American farmers lose millions of dollars in crop damage annually to these invasive species. Another threat is the transmission of pseudorabies and swine brucellosis to domestic pork. Feral hogs are invasive species. They are pests; just like flies, termites, rats and roaches. I'm sending a PM to educate you about the feral hog problem as it relates to agriculture.

  • @JAGERPRO ur rite kill them all!!!

  • @JAGERPRO "Invasive species" is an important point! All responsible 'environmentalists' should be concentrated on killing as many of these vermin as possible before they completely destroy the local ecosystem.......And they taste good too hehehe...

    Great work guys! I'd love to see some more of these videos some time! Out of curiosity, are 5.56mm AR-15s large enough weapons to take down these hogs, or am I better off sticking to my .30 caliber bolt guns?

  • @JAGERPRO do you guys have some type of night hunting attraction for hunters out or in state?...where a customer can be taken out with a hunting guide and also experience the thermal scopes and hunt these pest hogs on private land?..I'd pay for it!

  • @2jzgteSupraJZA80- Yes. We are retired Soldiers who switched from a two-legged enemy to a four-legged invasive species using the same weapons and technology we used in combat. Just choose open dates on our hunt calendar via the website and join us for a tactical adventure. There is NO LIMIT on the number of hogs you may harvest per night. Keep what you want and we will donate the rest of the meat to local families and churches.

  • @JAGERPRO sounds great! looks like allota fun and you put a dent in the population of an invasive species.

  • @JAGERPRO I wondering if this is legal in Missouri ? The Missouri Dept. of Conservation is waging a war on pigs. Were starting to get them.

  • @JAGERPRO youre doing a GOOD job! these hogs need to be killed! like you said, THEY ARE PESTS! unfortunately, there's NO WAY to treat these animals humanely. if you try, they will cut you up and kill you! i wish ALL the states would have open season on the hogs ALL year round.

  • damn i woosh i could shot that good on the run. i can shoot about 300 yards and hit anything the size of a coke can r bigger wit ma 270. Using ma ruger 10/22 i can hit anything that walks

  • can you please tell me how much you payed for that scope i would love to have one.

  • This ranks up in the top ten coolest YouTube vids I have ever seen.

  • what happens with the corpses, then? go you eat the meat or you just let those pigs to vultures?

  • @salvoben2- All of the harvested pork is either processed by our guest hunters or donated to local families and churches. We wish we could donate this meat directly to local food banks to feed the homeless and needy families, but is not allowed by federal regulations due to liability with swine brucellosis and pseudorabies. This is the reason it is so important to thoroughly cook wild pork to 170 degrees before eating it.

  • Who manufactures your scopes, im interested in buying one for my farm, hogs are a big problem and I NEED them taken care of because there destroying my crops.

  • @rednecknate08- Contact us through our website. We have tested every night vision and thermal scope on the market. We will put the right equipment in your hands to prevent future crop damage from feral hogs.

  • suppress that fucking rifle already... jeez, what a waste of a thermal scope!

    You could harvest more pigs from those fields than the farmers crops, if you didn't spook 'em on the first shot:)

  • @van1098s- Hunting hogs in Georgia with suppressors is not legal via the hunting regulation. Our retired Soldiers have tested suppressors on hogs and it does NOT give the hunter any advantage. The hogs still run out of the field when a subsonic bullet impacts another hog. They won't just stand there and let you shoot the entire group with a suppressor. They are too intelligent. Subsonic bullets shot through a suppressor are too slow to be effective and will not cycle a semi-automatic rifle.

  • @JAGERPRO You could always get a rifle that will cycle with semi-auto rifle rounds.. Not a .308, however.

  • @JAGERPRO I agree w/ JAGERPRO, it doesn't give you an advantage (I just did a night hog hunt in TX w/ suppressed 6.8). The other pigs run away just the same. But it is much more pleasant to shoot w/ a silencer on.

    We all need to promote regulation changes so that us hunters can save our hearing and not be so loud. Here in Alabama, hogs are treated as if they were trophy deer. We can't hunt them w/ cans, thermal or night vision. Even though they do millions in damage to our crops.

  • sounds wonderful please keep us up to date and keep up the good work and shooting 

  • are your new rife thermal scopes avalible yet

  • @stoffelb- We tested our new 320 x 240 scope last week. Very pleased with the results but we asked the engineers to make a few more changes. We are adding a larger objective lens (even larger than our thermal monocular) to get better performance than anything available on the civilian market. We are confident the 320 x 240 scope will be available by the end of the year if we can get the manufacturer to deliver thermal cores. We'll post a video when the new scope is ready to market.

  • o snap ill subcribe if u get one bulet two kills!!!

  • Im gonna start saving... this looks like too much fun. Do you guys clean hogs too>??

  • BOOM HEADSHOT!

  • DRAG SCOPE!!!

  • i want one XD

  • what kind of expirence do you look for when hiring shooters.... not really intrested in for the life expirence of just a couple day hunt but this looks like something i could be good at....

  • @sbchp54- We don't hire shooters. Our income is derived from guiding and outfitting hunters (like yourself) to perform thermal hog control on Georgia farms. Guest hunters book an experience with us just like any other professional outfitter. We provide the rifles, thermal scopes, ammunition, lodging and transportation during the hunt. It only costs $500 per person, per night to rent $100,000 worth of thermal equipment. There is no limit on the number of hogs harvested each night. Come join us.

  • @JAGERPRO yea but i wanna do it every day not just a couple times

    

  • what model scope is this?

  • @trooperx666- Our thermal rifle scopes should be available by 01 OCT 2010. It will be the first time a high resolution, 320 x 240 detector, 25 micron pitch (or better) rifle scope will be available to the public for under $10,000. Subscribe to our YouTube channel as we will post “Equipment Demonstration" videos using these new products as they become available. Also, hunters can subscribe to our monthly "Hog Control" e-Newsletter through our website to stay updated of the latest information.

  • what state are u in?

  • @lilcajun123- We manage 150,000 acres of farms in six southwest Georgia counties- Columbus to Albany.

  • After seeing this vid I was interested in reserching and developing target leading skills and learning the names and differences between each type of target lead but my search so far has been unfruitful. where did you learn all this knoledge????

  • @plpro5445- I managed the Olympic Shotgun Team for the US Army Marksmanship Unit at Fort Benning, Georgia during nine years of my 24-year Army career. Two of my Soldiers won gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. The lead methods used in this video (sustained, pull-away and swing-through) are more commonly related to shotgun shooting. In my opinion, if a hunter can learn to point a shotgun at moving targets, they can be taught to point a rifle at them as well.

  • holy shit!

  • @navyavi469- Racket? There is nothing dishonest or fraudulent about killing 1,000+ feral hogs annually for American farmers using this method. Our high volume trapping program is very effective in the winter months after acorns and other mass crops are eaten. Shooting supplements our winter trapping program during the spring planting and fall harvest seasons. We will implement chemical and biological controls when they become legal in the United States. Until then... we must use these methods.

  • how much do these thing cost?

  • Do you all hunt with sound suppressors. Since you have clearance to hunt with a thermal sight, you should have no problem obtaining a sound supressor. I notice that the noise is lound on some videos and muffled in others. Just curious because you should be able to take out many more hogs with the sound being supressed.

  • Hunting hogs in Georgia at night with thermal optics is legal via the hunting regulation while suppressors are not. Our staff has tested suppressors on feral hogs. It does NOT give the hunter any advantage. Hogs still run out of the field when a subsonic bullet impacts another. They are too intelligent to just stand there and let you shoot the entire group. Subsonic bullets shot through a suppressor are too slow to be effective for high-volume control and will not cycle a semi-automatic rifle.

  • That's beautiful, anyone generous enough to give me this for my birthday :D

  • nice vid

  • I could and did watch this again and again, I learn something new every time.

    Excellent keep up the good work.

  • @UchihaRobert2007

    The last thermal scope I looked at was a cheap one for about $10,800 USD. I'm sure you could find one for less than that.

  • You guys should not be looking for "cheap", you should be looking for "effective". There are no thermal scopes (currently) on the civilian market which perform well enough to recommend for hunting. Civilian 160x120 and 320x240 thermal scopes are manufactured with a pixel size of 53 microns, will not retain their zero or handle .308 caliber recoil. It takes a military-grade pixel size of 28 microns or smaller for effective hog or coyote control at night.

  • Whomever that shooter was my hat is off to you. That was incredible to watch. My next hog hunt will definitely be with you guys.

  • 2nd. That was amazing

  • Just put it right on their nose and its over

  • I plan on doing one of these at some point, just need to find the time. But I was curious about what happens if a non united states citizen wants to go on one of these hunts?

  • No problem. Just contact us through our website when you find the time. All rifles, thermal scopes, ammunition and transportation are provided during the hunt.

  • How much does a night hunt cost?

  • $550 per person per night with a two night hunt minimum. We provide the rifles, thermal scopes, ammunition and transportation during the hunt. There is no limit on the number of hogs harvested each night. We only guide a maximum of six hunters per night.

  • that is way to cool do u guys work for somone like for the state or do u do this for famers

  • Farmers or landowners do not pay us to remove their hogs. Our income is received from guest hunters who book an experience with us just like any other professional outfitter. Hunters are paying to be part of our nightly hog control missions using the same technology our Soldiers are using in combat.

    Farmers receive high volume hog control for free, hunters get a (no limit) experience of a lifetime and our guides earn a living providing the methods and technology to solve the problem.

  • thats really cool my hunting buds and i are thinkin we might have to make a trip down to georgia in a couple of years

  • So where can I apply for a job ;) That looks freakin fun as hell. We sure could put your equipment to good use here in Texas...

  • do you guys get paid for doing that? looks like one helluva good job if you do!

  • Guest hunters book an experience with us just like any other professional outfitter. Hunters are paying to be part of our nightly hog control missions using the same technology our Soldiers are using in combat. We have the methods and technology. The hunters are paying for the hog control experience using this thermal equipment.

  • Is the flir used as a scope or goggle?

  • We use thermal scopes on our rifles and a thermal monocular to scan, spot and stalk. Currently, there are no thermal devices on the civilian market which perform well enough to recommend for hunting. Civilian 320x240 thermal scopes are manufactured with a pixel size of 53 microns and are ineffective. It takes a military-grade pixel size of 38 microns or smaller for effective hog control at night. We will offer a 320x240 resolution monocular to civilian hunters on our website by March 2010.

  • Our D-740-3A (4X) or the D-760-3A (6X) Generation 3 night vision scope is all you need to shoot feral hogs at night. We guarantee our scopes will contain an ITT image intensifier tube with at least 64 line pairs per millimeter of resolution by providing a Figure of Merit (FOM) above 1500 and a Signal to Noise Ratio above 24. You will be getting a hand select tube exceeding these parameters. This caliber of ITT tube will give you the necessary performance to kill hogs in open terrain at night.

  • very nice...unique vid and no probs finding the pigs after shot with thermal:)

  • are .223/556 rounds any good for hog control?

  • A .223 (77-grain) will kill a hog if you use quality hunting bullets and make proper shot placements. But our goal is to remove multiple hogs from each farm in a single night. A .308 caliber, 180-grain Nosler Partition bullet allows better penetration on multiple moving targets in a large group. Since we video our thermal hog control missions for educational purposes on television and DVD, we must harvest feral hogs quickly and humanely. We prefer a larger .308 caliber for hog control.

  • @JAGERPRO thanks for the quick replies! by the way... is it hard to get that close to the hogs before you shoot them? any scent eliminator necessary?

  • We are able to stalk very close as long as we are quiet and keep the wind in our face. We don't use any scent control products; just constantly check the wind to take advantage of it. Wind direction is the most important factor in deciding which farms or fields we hunt each night. Our guides are retired Soldiers and very experienced hunters. We know how close to stalk by observing the hog's body language. But we'll take a 10 mph steady wind over a light and variable one if given a choice.

  • Doh, at certain points it felt like a fragmovie for some firstperson shooter game. :P

  • whats these things cost

  • We use a "military and law enforcement only" thermal scope costing $13,500 which is not available to the public. There are no thermal scopes on the civilian market which perform well enough to recommend for hunting. Civilian 320x240 thermal scopes are manufactured with a pixal size of 53 microns. It takes a military-grade pixal size of 38 microns or smaller for effective hog control at night. We plan to offer a 320x240 resolution monocular to civilian hunters in early 2010.

  • Very nice.

  • nice shooting

  • top class shooting true marksman

  • USE AN AR15!!!!!!!!!!

  • Our goal is to remove multiple hogs from each farm in a single night. An AR-10 (308 caliber) 180-grain Nosler Partition bullet allows better penetration on multiple moving targets in a large group. Since we video our thermal hog control missions for educational purposes on television and DVD, we must harvest feral hogs quickly and humanely.

    An AR-15 rifle works well if you use quality hunting bullets and make proper shot placements, but we prefer an AR-10 for thermal hog control.

  • Great shooting. Used a thermal sight in the military a couple of times and know it is not as easy as it sounds. Thank you for sharing this. I am headed up to NorCal to hunt on some private land where the hogs regularly destroy crops. Will be using my trusted M14. Was considering 150's, but after seeing the 180's in action...I think i might make an adjustment.

  • Fantastic shooting. Really impressive.

  • I'm not too keen on killing animals but I love guns. Interesting video and nice shooting though.

  • HORRAY STOP THE SWINE FLU!!!!!!!

  • you sir, have made my day. =D

  • That is the greatest thing ever!!

  • sweet shootin thats how you mow em down

  • Is that a knight's armament thermal sight?what model is it?

  • No. This is our "military and law enforcement only" model which is not available to the public. But, we plan to have a 320 x 240 resolution thermal scope (civilian use) available for hog and coyote control by October of 2009.

  • if you ever want to sell that thermal scope, let me know.

  • Not even in Texas? That M/LE only crap really annoys the shitt out of me. Just because its neat to use and have that have to regulate it.. Sounds like some dumbass Obama shitt

  • Actually the government nor the State Department are responsible for limiting thermal technology to civilians. It is really the companies manufacturing this equipment. They do not want to accept liability for selling this technology to civilians while they have a multi-million dollar Army contract to produce 125,000 thermal scopes through 2012. The civilian market for this equipment is very small compared to the military and law enforcement. We plan to offer a thermal scope to civilians DEC2009.

  • sweet video, even better shootin

    but to fill me in on this here, is this for fun or is there a purpose to the whole hog huting thing? i live in canada around vancouver so we (at least i) dont have any hogs around, im just a bit curious here

  • Feral hogs are estimated to number 4 million in the United States and cause nearly $1 billion in agricultural damage each year. Another threat is the transmission of pseudorabies and swine brucellosis to domestic hogs. Our company is the most successful wildlife control operator in the United States. These nocturnal operations are very effective methods for managing feral hog populations and reducing crop damage. It requires a degree of experience to consistently hit moving targets with a rifle.

  • omg i would love a job like that..... get paid to shoot stuff! lol

    too bad though...... im in canada :*(

    hey, what do u guys use? firearm wise i mean

  • We are shooting Federal Premium, 180-grain Nosler Partition bullets through DPMS Panther Arms and Browning (BAR) semi-automatic rifles in .308 caliber.

  • A Weapon is something you use to assault a human with. A Firearm is what he is using to cull these hogs with.

    Great video! Excellent marksmanship!

  • Great Video. Amazing weapon...5 stars

  • Oh yeah, and does it have output to a camcorder or something? I guess so since you made this video?

  • Yes. We designed an RCA adapter into the 19-pin military connection on the scope. The shooter carries a mini-DV camera and microphone in their vest to capture this high resolution thermal footage. It is NOT wireless. It has to be hard wired directly to the scope.

  • What is the model and make of the thermal equipment used in this video? Is this a monocular or goggle set, or is this a weapon mounted device? Are the readouts standard on the display or are those overlayed by something else. Also, how does termal/IR hunting compare to regular night vision hunting? Can it really see the hogs through obstacles? If so, what kind of stuff can it see through? Fog? Tall grass where the hogs might be? Crops? Does it work good on both cold and hot nights? Just curious.

  • Videos were filmed through our 'military & law enforcement only' thermal rifle scope and cost $13,300 each. Civilians cannot purchase these units. You are seeing exactly what the shooter sees with a standard display in white hot mode. Thermal technology can see hot objects through smoke, fog, rain and light vegetation. You can see into tall grass and wheat from an elevated position. You cannot see through obstacles or in the middle of a corn field. Works perfect during both cold and hot nights.

  • what's the deal on the sustained lead? Can you explain it?

  • Sustained lead: Gun is started in front of the target by what the shooter perceives as the correct lead and keeps this distance constant while squeezing the trigger. This method is preferred on closer shots with smaller leads. Pull-away: The gun is started on the target and accelerates in front by what the shooter perceives as the correct lead. The trigger is squeezed as the gun pulls away from the target. Preferred on longer shots to ensure the barrel continues moving forward on bigger leads.

  • I can't wait until I get one. These rule. Can you rent these?

  • I guess you could say our hunters are "renting" them when they book a hunt with us.

  • Man,that is great shooting. I would love to try the thermal scope hunting sometime. Good work controlling those feral hogs. They are destructive and breed out of control.

  • JAGER PRO is the only outfitter in the United States who guides hunters at night using military-grade technology to perform thermal hog control in SW Georgia. There is NO LIMIT on the number of hogs killed per night during these hog control missions. All pork is locally processed for hunters and their families or donated to local churches and food banks. Open hunt dates are available under "Book Your Hunt" on the website calendar.
