By far it was the first time I tried NV. We all (3 of us) were given a 14 on a bump helmet, rifles with lasers, a driver who knew the ranch using dual 14s, and loaded into an off road buggy to go kill some hogs. Everything animal wise held still as we flew by. Deer just staring at us like WTF. We find a pig at a feeder about 100 yards out, get out, in a nice line and shoot on the count of three. It was one of those experiences where I realized how much I didn’t know. How it felt to be hauling ass in the middle of the night, blacked out to the regular world, roll up and shoot. It felt like a glimpse in the SF world, by far nothing much at risk but real enough to get the rush. The fact it happened as my first experience being totally naive to anything but a mediocre flashlight made it all the more intense. It’s the biggest thrill I think I’ll ever see with NV.
