Scopes / F.A.Q.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does thermal vision work?

Thermal imaging senses the infrared heat generated by animals and any other warm object. It presents the difference in temperature, so warm blooded animals stand out from the cooler background.

What else do I need to know about thermal imaging?

Thermal imaging devices can't detect objects behind glass.

Can I export thermal optic monoculars or night vision rifle scopes to foreign countries?

You require U.S. State Department approval to export thermal optic monoculars and night vision rifle scopes, otherwise, it is a Federal Offense. Many U.S. technologies are regulated including night vision rifle scopes and thermal optic monoculars under the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR). It is also a Federal Offense to share, disseminate or otherwise publish operator's manuals or detail photography of the thermal optic monoculars and night vision rifle scopes sold on this website. For specific language regarding the exportation of thermal optics, monoculars and night vision rifle scopes, please click ITAR Regulation Language.

What are the strong and weak points of thermal imaging?

With thermal imaging there is no place to hide. Animals are still partially visible behind some brush. On a warm night where the ambient temperature is about the same as the animals, thermal imaging will be less effective.

Why should I buy a monocular?

A monocular prevents the hunter from having to swing the rifle around to see if there is any game. It also saves the batteries in the scope, so the scope is always ready when the game shows up

Are the thermal optic rifle scopes and monoculurs on this website available to US citizens of the general public or restricted to law enforcement and government officials?

Yes, all thermal optic monoculars and rifle scopes are available to the public, and are popular among farmers and ranchers to provide additional hunting activities and ability to control hog and coyote populations.

Tactical Boar Hunting • Feral Hog Traps, Trapping and Metodology

SOUTHERN HOG CONTROL, LLC was established in October 2009 to help reduce the feral hog damage on agriculture and private property.

Our primary mission is to service private, state and federal hog removal contracts by employing the JAGER M.I.N.E.™ (Manually Initiated Nuisance Elimination) Feral Hog Trap System. This high volume pest control technique was developed during three years of research as the most efficient method to capture entire sounder groups during winter months at baited hog trap enclosures.
