Gun talk hunt is brought to you by vortex optics locked down, secure your lifestyle and timney triggers the world's finest triggers.

All right. Welcome in. This is gun talk hunt. And no, I'm not Kevin John again. Your host today. I'm Ryan Gresham because we are on location in South Florida at Ossiola outdoors. I say it right, Mike. Yes, you do.

God. All right. So once you guys introduce yourself to our audience.

All right. I'm Mike Tussi. I own and operate Ossiola outdoors. I also work for nomad outdoors as a community director. There I take care of the media. Do things like this. I take care of our TV shows and you know work with our pro staff there nomad hunting clothing for all kinds of stuff.

Yep. Yep. We have a lot of different camo patterns with mossy oak real tree and that. And then we have a sister company called food fishing. Yep. A lot of people know that one. That's a big company.

And Joe tell people what you do. Joe Ferenotto and I'm the managing editor at Peterson's hunting magazine. So I mean, we're down here in South Florida. And this is a really cool trip. And it's put on by eotech voodoo optics. They invite us down here to really test out the products. And I think people always give me our time.

They're like, Oh, you have to go hunting again. Okay. For your job. Yeah. For your job. But it is fun. But it is a great way to test the products out. And sometimes there's kind of some revelations with this stuff. Um, I mean, so we are doing turkey and gator talk about your gator today.

Oh, and it was a different experience. Like I've never done it before before coming to Florida this time. I'd never seen a gator. Okay. And you're up in Montana. Yeah, up in Montana. A lot of gators.

But no, it was really cool. We spent a lot of time working around on the dikes, like looking in the canals that they use for drainage and irrigation. And man, there were gators everywhere. Yeah.

I mean, like you drive five feet, see one, drive another five feet. It's another one. It's funny because it's, it feels like a stereotype. Oh, gators, Florida. But it's Mike. It's kind of true. Right. It is. You know, we have two types of gator hunts in Florida. We have private land tags, which are management tools that land owners use to manage the gator populations. And then we have public land hunts that are done on public waters on our private land hunts. We can use rifle bow.

We can use basically any means to do it on our public water hunts. They have to be done with bow fishing rig. You can go use a snatch, catch them, but you have to finish them off with a bank stick. You cannot use a rifle or a pistol. Wow.

Yep. So look a little bit different on both hunts. And we were doing private land tags as well. We're doing this week here with eotech, which enables us to use the voodoo scope.

So the scope we're using is a one to 10, correct, which is cool in itself. And we're going to, I'm going to talk to the voodoo eotech guys for gun talk nation and get kind of all the skinny on that. I won't hold you guys.

A lot of cool things about it though. Like they kept the objective a little bit bigger. Yes.

Then like your standard like one to whatever. Right. And it captures light phenomenally well. Yeah. It's a 34 millimeter to. Yeah.

And it was what I found was the one to 10. You go, well, okay, these were actually pretty close shots. I mean, I think they say the average shot is 50 yards or closer.

Something like that. So you go, well, you don't need a lot of modification. Well, but you also have to make a precise shot. I mean, it's correct.

I mean, a zone of maybe two, three inches. Yeah, that's all it is. I mean, it's a golf ball size, you know, shot that you got to make between the eye and the

ear hole, putting it right in the brain pan for a gator. So very, very small target. Yeah. So I mean, I know I, what I did, I kept it on to maybe one power and just find the gator.

And then I'd kind of just crank it up until it just felt right. Yeah. Just enough where you could like really tell what's going on on his head.

Like see the detail between the eye and the ear hole and make sure you're going to put it in the right spot. Yeah. So how far was your shot?
