When guns are outlawed only criminals and the government will have them and at that time I will see very little difference in either!

Not up on the night sights but you might try something we used to do to get hogs in the trap. We would dump used motor oil onto burlap bags and toss them inside the traps. For some reason the hogs want to wallow on the bags to get the oil on themselves, but it does work pretty well.

I played around with one of these at a shop: http://www.atncorp.com/x-sight-night...le-scope-3-12x
Seemed to be solid for money and being able to use it day or night was nice. Biggest issue I see is the reticle is digital. There isn't really a way to adjust it for windage/elevation so you either have to kentucky it or keep within a range you know stays in the kill zone.

Here is an idea for a trap. Several guys around here use them and they seem to work well.
project, I saw that trap a year ago....as far as I can determine they are not as yet for sale....and the good Lord only knows what it will cost.....I have used soured corn, strawberry, creosote, etc and we use a 10 cattle panel tear drop shapped trap with saloon doors....it works and we never kill hogs in the trap.....it is just they get trap wise and need to be moved.....I am just beginning to have hog problems in my backyard (less than 60 yds from the house) .... so far I have set cameras and am in the process of pattering the little critters....then it is on to the smoked tender loins and hams as posted the other day....thanks for the post....it seems to work but I suspect that cost will keep it from getting extensive use.....a 10 panel trap costs around $400.00.....in t-posts (41); 10 - 16' cattle panels, and gate.....
