FIRST HOG HARVEST OF FALL 2024
My son and I tried to get into the woods early, the hogs were seen on camera days prior, BUT this day they decided to get to the feeder even earlier than the last few days. As we pulled into the farm i had my son check the cameras sure enough they bet us to the spot, so we had to stop about 400 yards away and sneak up on them as you see in the video. After the harvest we decided to set back up because we heard the hogs in the woods, sure enough they came running towards us in the woods but never went past the tree liine and it was to thick to harvest any of them.

❤it Stealth mode... thanks for sharing ❤
You got one Dennis! WTG to your son too! ❤️🎄🎅🎁🔔
Thats the only one since beginning of Oct, they are not coming out in the field or to the feeder lately, i placed a camera in the woods and have a lot of photos, just difficult to hunt in the woods there very thick
@@GadsdenFreedomOutdoors they may be doing counter surveillance on you. 😅😅
Can you please tell me what tripod you are using. Thanks
It is the BOG Deathgrip

@ ahhh
I tryied multiple times. For me it stops at 68% and fails to update. Very sad.
That's the first i've heard it stopping at 68%, usually it's 85%. Mine stopped at 85 but than cycled through and rebooted with the firmware. I would call ATN Tech Support, more than likely you will have to send it back to get fixed.
I'm thinking of buying a Vortex Strike fire 2 red/green dot. Just wanted to know how difficult it is mounting and zeroing
Thanks for watching, very simple to mount and was zeroed when i brought it to the range, i just made some fine adjustments to fit my needs
That was awesome to watch! Thanks for bringing us along! ❤️🎄
glad you enjoyed it, had to edit a lot of it, my grandson was pulling on the camera
Thanks for the adventure
very welcome, was something different to share with everyone
Does it come with a micro SD card.
No you have to purchase the SD card
Hi Dennis. I like them too. 😉❤ Hope you and your family had a nice Thanksgiving. Hello to Bill for me. 💙🖤
Hope all is well, Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas
Me too!
Awesome
Interesting results. Thanks for the follow up video - I really appreciate that. I want to try one of these out, but it does concern me how many reports there are of having to swap out scopes repeatedly, how much time that would take, and mixed reports of customer service quality. Some have said the service is terrible, some say it's good. Do you upgrade the firmware on it yourself and write up bug reports to ATN when you have issues, and they respond with new firmware? It seems strange that they'd go to the trouble of sending replacement scopes back and forth if it all boils down to software issues and firmware updates.
Thank You, i do have to do more testing on this because i never adjusted the focus when zooming. What we have seen is the amount of problems or issues has drastically declined around Feb 2024, there are very few issues right now. Between my brother, son and myself we have been through 9 different scopes but that was from May 2023 to Feb 2024, my last scope i received was Feb 2024. As far as ATN customer Tech or support, we will 100% state they are great A+, we have been on the phone with Tech support numerous times whether for issues or discussing the X 5. You can update firmware yourself, it is simple if done the correct way, BUT if you miss an update and than another update is released you have to send the scope in to get both updates, we learned the hard way, anytime a new firmware was released we would call ATN Support and ask if we should update, some would say if your not having any issues DO NOT update, well that bit us in the butt, because we missed 3 different firmwares, so we had to send the scopes in. We believe what has happened since the release of the X 5 in May 2023, that the first few batches had a lot of issues, we were basically testing the scope. But as time went on less and less issues were happening. Feb 2024 to now i can count on my hands the amount of issues we have seen. Another thing we have noticed is the newer firmware updates are correcting minor issues BUT are adding new features. What we have noticed when we first got our scopes and had to call Tech support they would ask 100 different questions before having it sent it to get fixed or replaced, but i learned why because a lot of the techs did not own the X 5 yet they had to refer to a tech who owned it. over time it has changed fewer questions directly to the issue and now they email you a form to fill out and they send the return info. I think what they do is a complete system wipe than reinstall software, if it don't work they send a new scope, instead of trying to fix the scope the good thing about receiving a new scope is it has the latest firmware, sometimes it will have an unreleased firmware, also i was told every time you get a new scope the warranty is extended.
I was a computer hardware engineer. This looks like what we used to call "user tested firmware". Companies have a lot of pressure to get their products out in the market, to beat competitors, but it sure raises hell for the user. In the companies I worked at, we would never ship such a flaky product. It was a matter of pride, how much we could throw at our system and the software was so solid we rarely saw a problem, even though we were trying to induce problems. We would rudely power down a disk drive or a fiber channel switch, right in the middle of some heavy processing, and the applications would never fail.
I agree, they definitely pushed the product out prior to being 100%, we were beta testers for the scope. between my brother, my son, and myself we have had 9 different scopes. we worked through some of the issues with temp fixes in the field, but when the scope just don't work, nothing you can do. To us that first batch that was sent out May 2023 had all the issues, so many people having problems the comments and emails we received was tremendous. The issues seemed to slow down around Feb 2024, here we are 18+ months later, very few issues, what we see now are people asking how certain things works or how to set up options because the manual is not very clear or with the new firmware updates with new or improved options.
Bro, I don't know how you had the self control not to pull the trigger ! Unless it's not deer season.
you can't hunt deer at night, but they don't fit my criteria
@@GadsdenFreedomOutdoors ahh...no... are they 🎅 Reindeers? Looks like he had a feeling he was being watched.
we don't have reindeer (caribou) here, they are whitetail deer (venison) very delicious natural beef.
@@GadsdenFreedomOutdoors ok.fuwww
In all of your videos, you seem to stay around 3x zoom and take 100 yard or less shots. The ATN web site says this scope comes as like a 3-15x or 5-25x. I was wondering if you could shoot some video (day or night, probably day would be better) showing the max zoom so we can see what the sight picture is like? I don't really care if the image is grainy at high zoom, my question is simply - is it actually a legit 15x or 25x optic? Is the zoom an optical zoom, or purely digital magnification?
Most of the time the hogs are within 100 yards of me, i have the 3x15 my brother has the 5x25, i should have added this to my review under cons, as you zoom in the image does get pixelated, i notice when you get past 6-7 mag this happens. I will check my video gallery and find some of the high mag videos to show you.
here are 2 videos that show 5+ mag. ua-cam.com/video/UOF-8Z3UlV8/v-deo.htmlsi=f1w9xmFu6F_UFVuo and ua-cam.com/video/duVhpKn0wEU/v-deo.htmlsi=mStlJLCEyl_O_xpp
i made a new video from old clips of hunting using different magnifications will be able to view today in 2 hours
Strikefires suckass
Is it really that bad? i checked the reviews before buying seemed ok for the price?
Your place is like a museum..
priceless relics from the 2nd Amendment LOL
I'm on my 4th. It will be going back again too. Their buttons aren't responsive every press. Sometimes 2,3,6 presses to advance the settings menu.
I have had that happen on 2 of the old scopes, issues like that are very frustrating because you know the scope has to go in for repair or replacement.
Any luck with this update? I'm on the fence on whether to pull the trigger on this scope. I've heard nothing but problems with it. But I know ATN usually gets things resolved with firmware updates. It just takes forever.
Both of us updated our scopes with the new firmware no problems so far, Scopes operates a lot smoother than before. What we have noticed with the X 5, the first few batches had tons of issues, since March it's rare that we hear of major issues.
@GadsdenFreedomOutdoors awesome! Thanks for the feedback. That's what I wanted to hear. I have an ATN 4k Pro. Great scope, but the technology is starting to show its age and I figured it was time for an upgrade. Thanks again!
No problem, so you know how it goes than, i am on my 3rd X 5, the third scope i got in Feb (knock on wood) zero issues with this one compared to first 2.
@GadsdenFreedomOutdoors lol I saw that. 3rd tikes the charm. Well I ordered it so hopefully I'll get lucky with the 1st one lol
Congrats, i'm sure you will like the scope, it is a great scope even though there has been issues in the past. These newer scopes seem to have little to zero issues. GOOD LUCK, let me know how it is working and if you have any questions i will try and help you the best i can
Interesting info Dennis
❤❤ hi Everyone
Hi Karen hope all is well
Ciao Amico, ho da poco aggiornato e rifatto la taratura con i miei proiettili sul mio atn 5, ora già esce un nuovo aggiornamento, quello di cui parli tu! Ti volevo chiedere se è obbligatorio dopo l'aggiornamento ripristinare le impostazioni di fabbrica perdendo le tarature fatte o si possono mantenere, e una noia dover rifare l azzeramento della taratura
Hello, my Brother Bill and I have never done a factory reset after a firmware update, not sure why you would have to do a factory reset.
Hey Dennis! Hope you are doing great ❤
Hiiiiii, i'm doing good just dealing with some health issues and trying to get everything in order for the move to TN, a lot o f moving parts to do what we want to. Hope all is good with you
How do you update the scope the Manual says one thing and online says something different and if I format my sd card on the scope and factory reset it will I lose my profiles?
First i was told that by ATN Tech that you will NOT lose your profiles, The way we do updates is with SD card in PC download firmware than place back into scope let it upload wait a few minutes than power off scope, turn back on and run through different menu options just to test functions. Also we always contact ATN Tech before uploading any new firmware to scope just to CYA.
@ thank you good sir
no problem i hope i was able to answer your questions, we have never done a factory reset when we install new firmware
Very kool
its awesome you can dip just about anything
I need more lol. This is too cool.🤍
i have been thinking of getting back into it, maybe i will do some more
Great video, im half way through and you talked me out of buying one. You have a lot of patience my friend. I would loose my mind having all these issues.
Thank You, i will say this the first few batches of X 5's had a lot of problems, but now we very rarely see or hear about any issues, they have improved or fixed the issues from last year. There have been several times i wanted to get my money back. Especially when i missed 7 hogs and watching the video in slo mo and cross hairs were on target, the scope just would not save zero, but there was a temp fix that worked.
Wow Dennis that is awesome technique!!
Bill and I we started to set up professional shop but we could not find a proper location for all the equipment
6 crabs 🦀 to go! 🥳
was a slow day but Anthony had alot of fun
A good day for crabbing 🦀 The last time I remember Anthony crabbing with you, he was just a teeny tiny baby!
yea he was only 3 months old than
Great video. I'm considering getting this scope. I have the x sight 4 that doesn't seem to run 100%.
Thank You for watching, i have been using it regularly when i didn't have an issue, biggest issue i had that took me awhile to figure out was the scope didn't save zero i missed 7 hogs, but other than that in the last year i have harvested 35 hogs. i also upgraded to the IR 850 Pro
@GadsdenFreedomOutdoors here in Wisconsin the cold always causes my Xsight 4 to freeze up. I am hoping they fixed that issue with the 5.
we have not seen or received any comments regarding that happening with the 5, i do remember reading somewhere that someone had that happen (don't recall which scope) but they used the atn cover that comes with scope in the cold, the cut parts away so they can see and use buttons
Time flies gramps !
14 months already and he is hell on wheels LOL
@ he's learning quick !
i already got him saying deer, i have to pick him up to pet my taxidermy mounts
@@GadsdenFreedomOutdoors that ought to be interesting
He sure has grown Great to have a lil crabbing buddy!!!
he is above the growth curve for his age, very smart for a 14 month
I still worry about gaters' (alligators) 😮
it's ok GUNPA always has a friend with him LOL
Always great to have a helper. ❤
absolutely
Anthony got so big!! Very cute! Thanks for sharing, Dennis. 💙

He is getting so big!!!
to smart for his own good LOL
Another Great Video Dennis...Everytime I watch Your Vids I put on Weight Lol...Keep it Up X
Robbie i think you need to start making some cooking videos, you have great seafood there
When I click on the zero button, all I get is the green retical with an orange line connecting it to the red reticle
are you trying to zero the scope or the LRF?
@@GadsdenFreedomOutdoors I've zeroed the scope, but I can't get the BC or the RAV to work. I've tried the RAV many times. It will record the first shot, but not the second or third one. One time, it recorded the second but not the third. When I try to zero the LRF, I do not get the screen you show. When using the LRF to make the shots, it accurately measures the distance and I can do the math for the ballistics but I'd love to see the BC work.
I was told by ATN Tech that RAV must be calibrated on any caliber. On my first scope RAV didnt work, I tried my RAV a few times it does work, but i don't use it anymore, i find it easier just to hit record. The screen is different now they changed the LRF it use to be that red box now it is a green or red crosshair. I have seen people mention that the LRF is not accurate, i have tested the distance between the LRF and a rangefinder, mine was accurate. As far as the BC i did set mine up for my 308 with 3 profiles, i went hog hunting, went to shot a hog at 250 yards with BC on and did not work, BUT afterwards i learned that the BC did not load the new BALS, so you have to make sure after you make your profiles that you manual load the one your using. I hope this helped.
@@GadsdenFreedomOutdoors thank you
Scope is good. The app is lacking.
Honestly i think i have used the app twice, i just don't bother with it
Safe travels and thank you for your service. I was just thinking back to when I got mugged on the train and how the police assured me I would be okay. They got the perps by the time we got to the next station! God bless you
Hey Dennis
Hi Steph, hope all is well
Day 1 problems. Junk
I will say the first batches of x sight 5's had tons of issues, we really haven't seen any issues with the later versions. We felt that way as well but after each of us had to send our scopes back and got replacements seems like less issues.
Wow 🙏 🙏
i believe Bill said that 90% of that community got damaged
That is so sad 😞 Prayers to everyone affected! 🙏🙏
there is so much damage still that has to be cleaned up
Prayers for those that are effected
it's still really bad here, waiting on the counties to still clean everything up
