ATN Corp. has announced it's TICO 6 Thermal Clip-On, a next-generation thermal clip-on designed for hunters looking for a thermal upgrade to their favorite daytime scope. Built for hog hunters, predator hunters, night hunters, ranchers and serious outdoorsmen, the ATN TICO 6 mounts quickly in front of a shooter's existing daytime optic, effectively turning a traditional scope into a thermal system. 

Rather than replacing a proven daytime riflescope with a dedicated thermal scope, the ATN TICO 6 Thermal Clip-On gives hunters a faster and more flexible upgrade path. By mounting directly in front of the existing optic, the TICO 6 allows shooters to preserve the sight picture, controls and rifle setup they already prefer, while adding thermal detection for low-light and nighttime hunting.

"The TICO 6 is built for hunters who want real thermal capability without reinventing their entire rifle setup," said James Munn, CEO of ATN Corp. "With the TICO 6, you can keep the daytime scope you trust and turn it into a thermal system in seconds. That's the kind of practical innovation hunters actually appreciate in the field."

From hogs moving through tall grass after dark to coyotes crossing open fields at dawn, thermal gives hunters the ability to detect heat signatures when traditional glass struggles. That makes the TICO 6 especially attractive for users searching for the best thermal clip on for hunting, the best thermal clip on for LPVO, or even an AR15 thermal clip on option that preserves a familiar rifle and optic configuration.

Rethinking Ragù: Venison Ragù Bianco

In Italy, ragù simply refers to a slow-cooked meat sauce. Bolognese—ragù alla Bolognese—is just one regional variation that originated in Bologna and traditionally incorporates tomatoes, wine, milk, and finely minced meat simmered low and slow until deeply rich and complex. But some of the most beautiful ragù dishes in Italy contain little or no tomato at all. This version uses axis deer simply because that’s what I happened to have in the freezer, but this sauce works beautifully with almost any species of venison.
