Beaver & Boar: More Rix Storm S3 & Pocket K2 Hunting

[@ronsamborski6230]

👍🏼 I liked the arms up victory signal after the running hog was finished off! Another enjoyable video. Thanks, Brian.

[@CarpeSus]

I was just so happy it stopped before it made it to the creek. It would have been a messy retrieval.

Another great video Brian , really good video from the S3 and K2 , thanks for sharing .

[@RanchTop]

Hey, KZbin actually put this video up on my recommended feed! Good video quality from RIX.

[@pigpoppertx6926]

Nice job on land and water ! The thuds sound vicious on the water

[@brewcesroofless-E46]

Wow Brian...the Dual Image on the boar was really cool... Ur getting really good at this editing.

[@damienmilas8337]

Good work mate I enjoyed this one 1 beaver 1 hog and a tree lol don't worry your not the only one I myself am partial to fence posts lol👍🦘🇦🇺

[@gabem6362]

Trees /hogs/beavers oh my 😂

[@patclark2186]

With all due respect sir. You sure know how to tear those beavers up!

[@chopperdrvr3317]

And now he's as big as he will ever be.

[@CarpeSus]

And unlike me, getting smaller.

[@Bob24778]

I know not to expect $2000 scanner results but in your opinion, could you comfortably use the K2 to see a heat sig moving at 600 yards the use your scope to confirm? I'm mostly referring to coyote hunting.

[@CarpeSus]

In a well grazed field or elevated position, it would work okay, but in a field where the grass is up, it will be difficult.

[@Bob24778]

@CarpeSus okay, that helps a lot!

[@DanielNoe-q3q]

Do you like the pick k2 or k3 better

[@CarpeSus]

@@DanielNoe-q3q Not even close, K3.

[@MrPlk72]

So is the Ret ( Resolution enhanced Technology) work on the S2 & S3 can you tell the difference when you turn it on or off

[@CarpeSus]

That is a very good question. I had not worked with that feature and trying it inside my home, am not seeing a difference, though I am not sure I would inside my home. I will see what I can come up with on my next outing.

[@MrPlk72]

@CarpeSus let me know I'm curious lol

[@CarpeSus]

@@MrPlk72 Maybe it would have mattered for the beaver, too? Inquiring minds want to know.

[@JustinGentry-s8y]

Do you have the s3 zoomed in at all in the video?

[@CarpeSus]

Varies. Native mag is 3.5x. You will see 3.5x, 7.0x, or 14x on the bottom data line. That will tell you when I am zoomed or on native mag.

[@JustinGentry-s8y]

Ah I see that now lol..Im stuck between the s3 and the l3..thanks

[@PappaLitto]

Why didn't you get the coyote

[@jerahmyb4486]

Not impressed with the Rix Storm on the water, Was it out of focus??

[@CarpeSus]

Maybe. By that I mean I focused it and the beaver was on the move. The beaver may have moved out of proper focal range, but I think the issue is more with the firmware settings that are on the intense side, visually, which helps hot targets 'pop' visually in most environments, but creates a harsher image in others, such as this, hence the blending of the beaver with the wake. I will bring this gun along on the next beaver hunt and see what I can do.

[@martyn6792]

Not like you to shoot trees Brian

[@CarpeSus]

I am completely against it. The owner get a copy of the video, so will be informed. My goal is to keep such ancillary damage to a minimum.

[@ronsamborski6230]

@@CarpeSus What did that tree ever do to you??? 🤣

[@CarpeSus]

@@ronsamborski6230 While I understand that the tree could make the claim for being legally planted and growing where it is, the fact remains that it was aiding and abetting the hogs by shielding them, plain and simple. The reality is that I played that shot backwards, resulting in not having enough room to compensate for the speed of the hog and resulting in the tree getting shot. I didn't want to go into the messy details because of KZbin, but I used direct pressure, a tourniquet, and not satisfied with those efforts, applied a sucking chest wound dressing. Let's face it. The tree was not a cooperative patient and so I tried everything to save it. I am happy to report that the tree is doing well and is accepting visitors.

[@ronsamborski6230]

@@CarpeSus I’d expect nothing less from you Brian. You’re a stand up guy. 👍🏼

[@Aidyn_Sakhanov]

Five shoots for a hog is too much

[@rogervincent8314]

he did get a tree

[@CarpeSus]

You are right. The hog was dead with shot #1. I chose not to let it suffer longer than necessary. And, I did get a tree.

[@Youknowthetruthdontyou]

What is the daily bag limit on trees? Asking for a friend.😅

[@CarpeSus]

@@Youknowthetruthdontyou Suprisingly low.
