Laser Genetics

 

The kit comes with 3 different styles of mounts -- one for Picatinny rail, one with windage and elevation adjustments for clamping onto a 1" tube scope, and another for mounting onto the tripod adapter of binoculars.  It also includes 2 different styles of end cap switches, one constant on/off click style, and one momentary on pressure switch.  It all comes in a nice case.

 

If you are a serious predator and/or nighttime feral hog hunter, I consider the ND-3 a MUST HAVE!!!  It is that good!  You won't be disappointed!

 

 

Exactly! 

 

I do eat a few on occasion.  Some I give away.  Some I just leave where they fall.  In my opinion, once they get over about 150 lbs or so, they become tough and gamy, especially the boars.  My wife doesn't like the taste of feral pigs, so she doesn't want me to bring any more home.  I know it seems wasteful to not use the meat, and with game animals, I wouldn't dream of killing an aminal I don't plan to eat.  It is also illegal to kill a game animal and let the meat go to waste, not to mention, my sense of hunting ethics wouldn't allow such a thing.  However, feral hogs are not considered game animals by law, and they are a major nuisance.  They compete with the native wildlife for food and habitat.  Their population has exploded to epidemic proportions in some areas of Texas (and other states) to the extent that the Texas Parks and Wildlife Dept. (our state fish and game agency) has been trying to work on some way to kill them or at least control their reproduction.  Just during the past couple of weekends, I have killed 7 pigs with my bow while deer hunting (archery deer season is currenly open in Texas).  One evening last weekend while I was drawing my bow on a large boar, I counted over 30 in the group of pigs that came by my deer stand!  

 

Feral hogs have multiple piglet litters and they don't have a "rut" or season when the sows go into heat.  As soon as a sow drops a litter, they can be bred again immediately.  So, they reproduce like rabbits!  They are so vicious and tough that they have no natural predators to help control their population.  That leaves humans as the only predators with the ability to kill them.  I take that role very seriously.  The properties I hunt are so infested with them and they are so incredibly destructive to the land that we must attempt to control them somehow or they will force the deer out of the areas they inhabit.  The landownder we lease our hunting property from has instructed us to kill the damn things every opportunity we get, so we are at WAR with them!  We kill them with extreme prejudice at every opportunity given, regardless of size, age, time of day or season of the year.  Since they are classified as "exotics" here, the Texas hunting laws have no limitations on how many, what time of day, or what methods or weapons can be used to kill them.  Since they are largely (but not exclusively) nocturnal, the best times to hunt them is at night, which is why I use illuminated scopes, night vision, and the ND-3 laser per the subject of this thread.  When it comes to hogs, I am not trying to give them a sporting chance; I am trying to kill as many of them as possible, as often as possible, using the most brutally efficient means as possible.
