New T-70's now up on the web site HERE! Several units about to arrive in the next several weeks. We will have a review of the unit in the next week or so. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Clutch99/TNVCsl_2337_zps74bc4bb0.jpg Vic View Quote Still looking forward to seeing that review. |

View Quote I think I need to call Guy again to get my helmet back and remind him once again it was me who killed that hog over at Wild River Ranch! LoL! Vic |

BAMMO! Nice shooting as always. My guess that one dropped dead in a hurry!

DRT, that Barnes went through some serious skull bone before it exited out....

The one bald eagle looks stunned..."Damn that's a lot to eat!"

BTW, the velcro on top is to attach my mini-DVR for video recording, good place for it there on top out of the way....
It finally cooled down to 65 degrees out tonight after a heavy 7 inches of rain, that is 10 degrees cooler than it has been all summer. The T-70 is a blast, it is so beautiful with the ACOG, the view is absolutely gorgeous and anything within 300 yards of me would be simple to take out. Really liking the ACOG/T-70 combo, you can tell how excellently these two instruments were specifically designed for each other. |

Here is a short 3 minute 48MB WMV file in native 4:3 aspect 720X480 pixel output directly from the FLIR T-70 just to visualize the various different pallet choices and magnifications.
The original file was an 85MB AVI file and was reduced to a 45MB WMV file, so lost about 1/2 the resolution. Also I am viewing this through a 4X-32mm ACOG using its reticule, so everything is greatly enlarged from what you see in the video. The deer is located approx. 175 yards from the thermal and the pond in the backyard of our house is about 225 yards across to the planted slash pine tree canopy. Those of you who hunt with me will recognize every detail.... http://www.phossil.com/thom/Night%20Vision/FLIR%20T70/T70%20Videos/FLIR%20T70.wmv |

Forgot to mention that the FLIR T-70 thermal video was made one hour after sundown with the ground and trees still quite warm, humidity is about 60% and ambient temp is 70 degreed F., it is much better out now that the temp has dropped to 60 F., should be some heavy dew later on.

Thanks for the video link.
Looks like it's time to give TNVC a call. |

This song dog was quite a hoot!
I called him in to within 100 feet of us last Saturday night with a FoxPro Prairie Blaster playing Bay Bee Cottontail and he came charging in from 250 yards out and my buddy was my guest so I let him shoot him, he hit him and he jumped way up in the air and turned around and high tailed it out. I figured he was dead somewhere within a hundred yards or so and we walked all over the wood that night and next Sunday morning trying to find him with no luck. Then tonight I started calling with Bay Bee Cottontail again and this wounded limping coyote comes at me, I dropped him at 165 yards out with the FLIR T-70. I had the DVR video recorder on but neglected to turn on the video output port, so had not video of the whole two minute killl That SUX.....but I did take some video of him laying in the grass dead, about 9MB WMV file: http://www.phossil.com/thom/Night%20Vision/FLIR%20T70/T70%20Videos/Flir%20T70%20Coyote.wmv I'll see if I can get a pack up and howling tonight and maybe get a couple more live on video dying..... |

Went out tonight to try to take a couple of pics through the ACOG TA02 using the FLIR T-70 so you could see the sights.
It is a beautiful night out, temp about 50*F, full stars, no wind and low humidity. After a long HOT HUMID summer, the FLIR worked beyond excellent, simply stunning thermal imagery. So I start taking a couple of pics with my I-Phone through the ACOG: Next thing I know a coyote shows up at 175 yards out while I have the I-Phone hooked up to the ACOG, so I took a short video of him before I disconnected the I-Phone and shot him: http://www.phossil.com/thom/Night%20Vision/FLIR%20T70/T70%20Coyote2/T70%20Coyote.wmv Man, this FLIR T-70 is real real NICE! |

Just got back from Chicago last night after a 2,800 mile RV camp out trip and already nailed two coyotes and a hog in the backyard today.
Here is a 16MB WMV FLIR Thermal video of this shoat in a sounder group getting nailed. http://www.phossil.com/thom/Night%20Vision/FLIR%20T70/T70%20Sounder/T70%20Sounder.wmv |

As promised, I am finally getting some videos out of the new FLIR T-70 Mil-Spec Thermal Weapon Scope.
You have to manually turn on the NTSC Video output from the FLIR to the mini-DVR in order to save battery life as it chews more juice while recording the thermal video camera output. It is super easy to turn on using FLIRs JoyStick. This is recorded on my property in my backyard, there are many very large Live Trees that are hundreds of years old and about 120 feet high, they look like giant Sequoias in the video as I was laying down on the ground to get a good shot on this sounder group. Apparently the hogs are chewing on last years acorns since we have not have a good acorn mast crop this year? Again, my Arabian horse snorting alerted me to the presence of the hogs, that is two times he turned me on to hogs in two nights! It was about a 1/4 mile hike out to the hogs, they were shot at a distance of about 125 yards using the FLIR T-70 Thermal. This is a 50MB WMV file that is about 3.5 minutes long, download it and then watch it. http://www.phossil.com/thom/Night%20Vision/FLIR%20T70/T70%20Three%20Hogs/T70%20Three%20Hogs.wmv |

I butchered out those hogs last night and did not get to bed until 2AM, but the Bald Eagles were on the entrails before I woke up this morning, also a flock of Osceola Turkeys in the backgound.... http://www.phossil.com/thom/Night%20Vision/FLIR%20T70/T70%20Three%20Hogs/Eagles%20landing.jpg View Quote Can never get enough of our Bald Eagles, especially on this day! Happy Veterans Day all! Vic |

Okay, here is a pretty good FLIR T-70 Thermal video of one of the largest coyotes I have ever shot, 45 lbs+.
I was using my FoxPro Prairie Blaster with an SP55 external speaker using Female Invitation and Cottontail Distress. He came in over 300 yards out and I shot him at 225 yards through the heart about 4 minutes later. He took off like a scaled cat and I found him the next day ten feet into the woods where he disappears in the video. This video pretty much shows that with a T-70 and an ACOG 4X, you can shoot a coyote through the heart at long distance.... This is a 67MB WNV file that you should first download to watch off my server: http://www.phossil.com/thom/Night%20Vision/FLIR%20T70/T70%20Videos/Big%20Coyote/Big%20Dog%20Down.wmv |

Here is the FLIR T-70 40MB Thermal Kill video of this songdog at 275 yards at night:

Have been after this big boar hog for the last two months, he's been leaving ATV sized holes rooted up in my yard and I wanted to take him out. He is a loner and I spied him off and on, including one time at night when I had my 556 with the FLIR T-70 on it but declined to try to take him out due to his thick shield and my tiny 5.56mm, had been carrying the 7.62mm just for him but never did we both meet up at the right time.
Finally, last night while I was calling for coyotes he shows up a little before midnight with a couple of deer and I decided to try to take him out. First shot was into the lungs right behind his elbow, second shot was pretty much into the arse, and third shot was again into his ribcage, fourth and fifth shots may not have connected. However, I spent an hour trying to find him with the FLIR LS-64 with no luck and then another hour this afternoon with no luck, so he is buzzard bait by now. This dude has shown up on the game cam and I have seen him personally a half dozen time, easy 375-400 pounds, maybe I'll find his skull and tusks later on this fall while hiking around in the woods. The FLIR T-70 did its job, but this size boar is just a beech to take down with a 5.56..... 11MB WMV file.... http://www.phossil.com/thom/Night%20Vision/FLIR%20T70/Giant%20Boar%20Hog/Giant%20Boar%20Hog.wmv |

SIG 716 18" barrel with 1:10" twist 7.62mm 150gr SP with Elcan 1.5-6X-42mm with FLIR T-70 Thermal takes out a nice songdog at 225 yards tonight.
Bullet entered right under the barrel and blew off the entire other side of the dog. Video is short and sweet..... Called the pack in with FoxPro Prairie Blaster on Female Howl for a minute and then a minute of Female Invitation. 24MB WMV Video download here: http://www.phossil.com/thom/SIG%20716%20Precision/225%20Yard%20Coyote/SIG%20716P%20225%20Yard%20Coyote.wmv |
