Hog hunting

Anyone here do it at night?

I got an invite to go after some piggies that have infested a big area and I want a night time scope for my AK.

Only going to do this once or twice so I’m not looking for a $1000 scope. Most of the target range is 150 yards or less. What can I get by with at a reasonable price? I don’t mind a fixed power scope. I’ve never looked at scopes like this and I don’t know what’s out there.

Find an older Bushnell 4200 2.5X10X50 with the Illuminated #4 reticle and 30mm tube. Phenomenal low light hunting scope for the money. Heavy though. Of find someone that has a Trijicon laying around you can use, with some moonlight you’ll be able to see the target.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Saw this while browsing deals on slickguns yesterday…for $570 it does a LOT of things…I have no experience with it, I was just amazed at the low cost.

You need a permit to do it at night with a long gun and or a scope.

2015 - 2016 Regulations - Feral Hogs

Feral or wild hogs occur in the wild in every county of the state. They compete directly with native wildlife species, damage plants, agricultural crops and threaten public and livestock health. Those dressing feral hogs should wear rubber gloves and eye protection.

It is illegal to remove a hog from the wild alive unless it is taken pursuant to a permit issued by the SCDNR at a cost of $50 (50-16-25). All hogs taken pursuant to a permit must be tagged in each ear with tags provided by the Department and may only be released onto the same tract of land or into a permitted hog hunting enclosure within the county where the hogs were captured. Hogs taken under permit within a county cannot be transported into or through another county.

A hunting license is required to hunt hogs. There is no closed season or weapon restrictions on hogs on private land during daylight hours. Hogs can be hunted at night with or without the aid of bait, electronic calls, artificial lights, or night vision devices using a bow and arrow other than a crossbow, or a pistol of any caliber having iron sights, a barrel length not exceeding nine inches, and which is not equipped with a butt-stock, scope, or laser sight (50-11-710). Hogs may not be hunted at night with a centerfire rifle or shotgun, unless specifically permitted by the department. Dogs can be used to hunt and bay hogs at night as long as the hunter(s) complies with the equipment restrictions above.

From the last day of February to July 1, upon notification to SCDNR) at least 48 hours in advance, hogs may be hunted at night with artificial lights and night vision devices using any legal firearm, bow, or crossbow. Notice to the SCDNR is required once per season for each property and the names and hunting license numbers of each person participating in the hunt must be listed.

I’ve got a vrl-1 red light with a rail mount for a 1" or 30mm scope of you wanna borrow it shoot me a pm.

AK can hit something at 150 yards? You got full auto on that thing?

Crappie,
A nice AK can easily hit something at 150 yards. It all depends on the model and country of origin. Some are way better than others.
