Night Stalking

First off, I didn't bag anything. If you're looking for a victory story, this isn't it. If you're anything like me and you enjoy the outdoors, stick around and imagine being out in these rural Deep East Texas piney woods on this cool autumn night...

I walked my pups just after dusk and we encountered what I thought was a young coyote. He was in a clearing around a structure with decent outside light via high lumen halide light bulbs. All I could really see was a silhouette: furry, somewhat long legs, bushy tail, pointy ears. I am not sure if it smelled us, heard the pups, or spotted us on the side of the road, but it started moving away from us at a distance of around 75-90 yards. At first I thought it was a fox or a feral dog until my brain registered all of the features that I had just seen. So I decided to test the animal as it was leaving the scene. I gave a few lip squeaks. The animal stopped and turned its head directly towards me. I stood and watched and it turned to take off again. I lip squeaked again as it moved into the shadow of a hickory tree and an oak tree and got a similar reaction. BINGO!! It's a young looking coyote. I stood watching as long as I could, but these aging eyes couldn't keep up with the stealth canine. I didn't have a thermal device or any hunting arms. Thankfully the pups didn't spot it or start barking. When I didn't see any more movement, I began to back up and signaled the pups to turn around and follow me. We walked in another direction before returning to finish walking our route. After our walk we returned home. I grabbed my scanner and Huben K1 and checked around the property. I spotted Herby the possum feasting on the last armadillo that I killed; he has a buffet area I set up for him.

Unfortunately the pups pushed him off the carcass and went to investigate the smells. The white spot in the trees on the upper left (above the pup's nose) is Herby waiting to finish his meal.



One of the pups thought it was a good idea to rub his neck on the decaying dillo. I didn't realize what was going on until after it happened. I thought he was ducking under a vine until he turned his head as I viewed through the thermal. I called them off. Then I fed them and penned them in for the night.

Around 10:35pm I headed out with my Huben K1, Burris BTH50 thermal scanner, and ScanPro headlight looking for armadillos and coyotes. I didn't see jack besides Herby hanging out near the buffet. Earlier I said "I didn't see jack," but I forgot that I spotted this deer a ways off.



I patrolled the usual properties that I check on and nothing. I then decided to go further to the property where I saw the yote earlier (I hunt there sometimes too). As I walked I would stop to scan the area intermittently. I didn't see a deer or anything. I walked further up to get a better angle of the open space on the property and still nothing. Then out of the corner of my naked eye I spot movement. By the time I got the thermal scanner to my eye all I saw were hind quarters two hind legs, and a bushy tail going into the treeline across the road. I tried lip squeaking, but that didn't seem to stop him or draw him back out of the woods. I scanned the treeline, but could not pick up a heat signature. I moved into the shadows of an oak tree and knelt down in front of a bush to see if it might emerge into the open. After a while of hearing no movement and not seeing a heat signature I got up and walked further. I scanned the pasture and an adjacent property, but still no coyote. All of the properties that I'm mentioning I either hunt on or know the property owners. I turned around and headed back to my place. I heard two groups of yotes communcating to one another, on group to the east and the other to the west. I'd say they were within a 1 - 1.5 mile radius. I saw one of the neighbor’s dog and a cat stalking something in the drainage ditch. I spotted the cat from about 125 yards out with my scanner, but didn't know what it was. I stalked up on it to get a better look at it in order to ID it I'd say within about 60-70 yards I was able to ID the cat. After walking about a mile I got home and here's where things start to get interesting...

I snuck back into the yard so that I don't disturb the pups and start them to barking. Walking the perimeter of the yard looking off into the woods all I can see is what appears to be Heby laying down in proximity to his meal. This is boring I thought. Then I caught something crossing a clearing. Again I could only see a rump and a tail. I thought it may have been a bobcat. I never see bobcats around here. I could hear the animal crushing leaves as it walked through the woods and thought, "too heavy footed to be a cat." Then I thought maybe it was a raccoon.


After a few minutes passed I looked up in the trees and didn't seen anything, so I moved along. I walked to another area and scanned, but saw nothing. As I made my way back down the treeline, I scanned and picked up what appeared to be a white ball at the base of a tree. As I moved closer the ball started moving and its profile changed, - small-medium sized animal with a long tail and round body. I thought "coon or dillo."



It started moving so I removed my Huben from my shoulder, turned on my illuminated reticle, and switched my rifle mounted torch. At first I didn't see it moving through the brush. Then I caught a glare from the light reflecting off of the animal's eyes, but not for long. He escaped walking into the undergrowth before I could steady my reticle for a satisfactory shot.

I checked the treeline to see if it would be heading out towards my yard. I didn't see it come back out. I made my way to the other end of the property holding my rifle muzzle up towards the stars. Throughout the night I'd been hearing acorns fall. Once I heard leaves rustle in the tree, then a bunch of dry leaves got knocked down, but I couldn't find a heat signature in the tree. I heard these two groups of coyotes communicating again except the group to the northwest sounded closer. A minute or two later I put the thermal scanner on another tree a bit down the line and I see a small rodent moving about in the tree. Then I see another heat signature a bit higher up. I can't tell if these are mice, squirrels, flying squirrels or what. Suddenly it was as if I blinked and barely caught the animal above jump down on the other rodent. It appeared that they tangled briefly then separated and to my surprise, the animal that jumped down, flew off!!
I'm thinking this was an owl that missed his Veteran's Day meal. I thought, "That was entertaining." After reviewing the footage again, I don't know what I'm looking at here. I'm not sure what type of bird that is. I decided to stand there and watch the rodent move through the trees. I'm still trying to figure out what type of rodent this is. Somewhere along the line I put the thermal scanner down (let it hang on my wrist by the lanyard) and caught some movement at my 2 o'clock. There's about a ¾ moon tonight. When I turned to to look I saw that bushy tail and a head turning away. I switched on the illuminated reticle at some point, shouldered the rifle, pushed on the pressure switch to activate the rifle mounted torch, lined up my reticle on the animal as it walked away and let off four shots in succession. I'm pretty sure I didn't hit it. I didn't hear a yelp or see it jump. The pellets looked like tracers and they were on his ass!! The issue was that I didn't lead my shots. Even though I missed, that was fun because it demonstrates improvement on my part.

For the life of me I hardly ever hear coyotes as they move around. They just seem to show up. Semi-auto is the way to go unless you're baiting them or calling them in with a decoy. I'd want a semi-auto calling them in. I've called them with out a semi and it sucks when multiple yotes come in and you're armed with a repeater that has to be cocked after each shot. Of the three yote sightings tonight I didn't capture any footage. Those dogs are too damn fast. I haven't coyote hunted in a while. I wouldn't count this as a hunt. I just knew there was one in the area because I happened upon one earlier. I heard others and really don't know how many were in the vicinity. Three sightings with no call or bait within a few hours is insane based upon my previous experiences. After reviewing more footage I realized that I caught what appears to have been a yote close to my property a few nights ago. I wonder if this is the same one I shot at early this morning.

I may upload some video clips of some of tonight's events tomorrow or something.

Small + QUIET to kill rats at close range ?*?

Serious rat infestation: Need to kill hundreds of big rats. Must be QUIET.

Very little room, no rifle will fit. From 4 inches to 4 feet max room, mostly 1 foot.

Need to be able to fire many times in quick succession.

Air gun? Pellets? Tranquilizer gun?

I know zero about guns so baby talk explain this please. Tell me exactly what I need to buy, what kind of ammo, what to make it QUIET.

Is there a store that can help me? Name of store, location? I am near Portland, Oregon. Online URL?

Money is not a factor, will spend whatever it takes to get a weapon / tool / devise to kill these rats.

Fiberglass/plastic fence panels right behind rats so don't want to destroy fence.

Have trap I can put rats into and drown immediately, and metal gloves to pick them up, in case they aren't dead yet.

Also willing to pay well for a good "shooter" to come kill the rats. Need help!

Just Watched The RMAC YT Vid...

And dang!!! What a whirlwind, of thoughts and questions... It really has me rethinking a lot of my airgun hobby ideas. Just wow. I've been seriously considering (as of per video, WAS) buying a rifle platform that is a proven competitor. But after seeing the gear these folks run; I'm basically back to the drawing board. Some of these guys are rocking gear and accessories I've never even seen! Then there's all the customizations... Cusom parts, and paintjobs, that i didn't even know were on offer by anyone. Where do these guys get their gear? It's truly impressive.
In fact... it's so impressive that it's, we'll I'm not sure intimidating is the right word... Though it is intimidating to a degree. But moreover it almost lends a sense of "bar to entry". If that makes sense. I was able to ID some parts, and accessories, and did a little virtual shopping and dayum! That's a financially steep entrance fee. Makes me wonder, are these guys self funded? As in working 9-5s and still buying all this gear, or is a lot of it provided by sponsors? I saw some really cool stuff. And that was just what I could see. God only knows what kind of custom internals were also in action in that video. Just wow!!!
If you haven't seen it, it's definitely worth a watch. It puts a lot of things into perspective. Just seeing these top names brand guns side by side for size comparison, for one thing. I had know idea just how huge the Skout was till I saw it next to an FX M3. Wow. It's huge. Not to mention seeing them in use, in various shooting events. Really has me starting over as to what I might truly want to drop my money on. Or if at all? Like I said, it really shows how expensive the bar to entry is, if one is thinking about competing.
Anyway, I just thought I'd share some of my musings, and takeaways from my viewing of the RMAC competition, as a "regular" air gunner...

Pantera Trigger

Hello folks. Does anyone out there have any drawings/pictures of the Pantera trigger assembly, sear, hammer, etc., showing how they engage each other when the gun is cocked and when it's not cocked? What I'm asking for a ''cut away'' view of the parts in the gun showing how they engage each other. I know what the 1st and 2nd stage screws do. Seeing how the parts work together makes it a lot faster and easier to fine tune the trigger when one can actually picture in one's mind what's being done when one turns the adjusting screws. Thanks.

EDgun  All Things Edgun Matador R5M/Lelya 2.0 - Master thread

**THIS THREAD IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. I have a feeling that this is going to be a long thread. Please be patient although these are old guns**

This thread is a dedicated guide to discussions, instructional videos/threads, diagrams, and photos of the Edgun R5m platform. This is a robust regulated bullpup that was designed for hunting. It has been refined through various iterations (R3, R3M, R5, etc) resulting in a multi-shot repeater bullpup with forward-ambidextrous cocking and a tube reservoir. They are chambered in .177, .22, and .25 calibers. There were some limited edition single-shot .30 caliber R5s made, but I don't know a lot about them and I'm unsure if I will link those into this thread or not because they have a rear cocking bolt and thus different internals within the bolt/breech block. They come in varying lengths: compact (Leyla 2.0), standard, long, and super long. I'm unsure if they are still being produced as of November 11, 2024, but can be found in stock on Edgun Shop (Spain) webpage. Mostly you can find them on the used market, although they do not show up regularly.

HW/Weihrauch  Stippling a 97K factory stock..

Thinking of doing it to mine to get a different look from the same ol'. Has anybody done this to their HW stock? I tried a few patterns in some maple with 4 different cutting bits to get a idea of what it would look like. I think I like #2 the best

I know some don't like the stippling and that's to be expected. I just want to change the look of the factory stock to something different. What do you guys think?

Umarex  Notos accuracy

just snagged a notos from Pyramyd air ($200 with the promo code!). Was looking for a less expensive gun I can mod and tune since I’d never done it before And it sounds fun. Shooting this thing out of the box I was getting 3” ctc groups at 20 feet with JTS 16gr. Was a fraction more accurate with JSB Hades. I cleaned the barrel with some balistol and a patchworm but the groups are still pretty ridiculous. Any earthly idea what’s goin on with this thing?

The FX Royale 500 is an exceptional sporter air rifle and the Royale series is the epitome of years of quality FX air rifles. This version of the 500 Royale features a handsome ambidextrous walnut thumbhole stock. FX has sourced incredible wood to provide the highest quality wood stock available. With checkering on the grip and forend of the stock, you'll have both beauty and a high degree of grib and feel for what will soon become you favorite airgun.

FX airguns have spent countless hours perfecting and pushing the boundaries of what airguns can do. And while the Walnut FX Royale 500 air rifle features many high end cutting edge features, it is presented in a straight forward simple design that shooters will find familiar and comfortable. The FX Royale 500 Walnut is essentially the .25 caliber of the 400 series. 500 standing for the larger 500cc air cylinder that provides the power needed to power this larger caliber. It also features a longer barrel than its smaller caliber counterpart in order to maximize performance and obtain power and velocity needed for this more hunting oriented caliber.

The Royale breech block was developed carefully over years to produce the best breech block and valve system to date on an airgun. The breech is cycled by the super smooth side lever cocking system that advances the 11 shot magazine. Internally between the air cylinder and the breech is a regulator to provide exact and consistent air pressure for each shot. The result is less variance between shot velocity compared to non-regulated air rifles, all of which lends to more accuracy

PCP Rifle  SOLD WTS .25 Kalibr Cricket (fixer upper)

Had this posted the other day and noticed it had a leak so pulled the ad.

I don’t have the time or desire to tear into it so posting it as a project for someone who wants to take it on.

I purchased this recently for a compact, powerful woods walker for my son for when he wanted more power than his FX 400 delivered.

Shoots the 33.95 right at 900 and is laser accurate.

Resealed the original regulator and gave it a good cleaning, has no issues at all until you drop below the reg pressure then leaks from the valve seal (I was told, cannot confirm).

Comes with 2 magazines.

As is 250.00 and we can split the shipping. PayPal for pmt.

FX  Crown first shot hot

Having a lot of fun tuning my Crown for multiple calibers and noticed an anomoly
The first shot is always 5-10 fps high, then the gun settles into its normal, less than 10 es for whatever string length I decide to shoot.
I just glanced at my reg gauge each time and it's always on 100 bar right where I set it. This is for 177. Any thoughts? I know some will say reg creep but I can't see it moving up.
When I get time, I'm going to pull my Impacts Huma and try it in the Crown.

Pistol Scope Choices for FT or EFT

If only a true "PISTOL SCOPE" was made that took care of the nuances of field target.... sigh... AND still had that generous eye relief.

The Sightron S-tac 4-20x50 FFP MH4 reticle 25.6 oz, is currently mounted on my two main FT / EFT pistols. To date the S-Tac has been my choice HFT pistol scope, because it ranges quite well and it isn't all that heavy in comparison.
But
I'm getting ready to start testing the following scopes which i have in house now:

A) Athlon Helos BTR Gen2 FFP 2-12x42 with the AHMR2 reticle 25.4 oz

B) Vector Veyron 3-12x44 FFP 26.4 oz

C) Discovery Optics 2-12x24 FFP which comes in at 16.6 oz (lightest and cheapest at <$200.00) with a 24 inch objective i don't imagine it will be very bright in dark lanes for pistol field target but ya never know.

If any of you are using any of the above scopes for Pistol Field Target - 10-55 yards chime in and let me know how things are going
or
what scope you are using that "works for ya".

meanwhile here is three reviews:

Results  PSA FT Results - Nov 10, 2024 (AAFTA and XFT) and 2024 Seasonal Scores

The November match wraps up our 2024 outdoor FT season. We had a threat of rain, so all our course loops were setup on our covered ranges. There were a few sprinkles toward the end of the event, but everyone was able to stay dry. There were a few new to FT shooters at this match, and I hope they had a good time and we get a chance to see everyone again over the winter or in the 2025 season.

In the spirit of the upcoming World FT competition, we used targets with 15mm, 1 inch, and 1.5 inch kill zone sizes, with about 25% of the targets being reduced KZ sizes. There were more targets at the longer ranges than our typical mix. The Green course was on the west side of our range and was shot from the deck allowing for a few wooded shots and downhill shots. The Blue course was on the east side of the range, where it is typically located. The leaves on the range helped identify what the wind was doing, and it is always fun to see a tornado of leaves go over the targets. The Red course was on the pistol range, and it too had wind, but unfortunately not many leaves or down range wind indicators; it was like shooting over a parking lot, and many struggled with the indeterminate wind on this part of the course.

The AAFTA three course average difficulty was 30.9 (hard) and the individual course section had the following average difficulties (not including environmental factors):
  • Blue - 29.1 (moderate)
  • Green - 32.2 (hard)
  • Red - 31.4 (hard)
Scores - Each course is a possible 20, and the 3 course total is of a possible 60. Ties are not broken.

This match also wraps up our 2024 season, finalizing our seasonal league results. Each course section is its own match, with the top score of the day on that section scoring 100%, and all other scores a percentage of the 100. The top 9 course section scores for a competitor, in their class, are aggregated to a seasonal score with a maximum of 900 possible points. WFTF and Open are combined into one division, and divisions are further divided by powerplant. Here are the 2024 PSA Seasonal League Results...

Top PCP WFTF/Open - Mark King
Top Piston WFTF/Open - Hector Medina
Top PCP Hunter - Doug Rogers

The XFT course was setup on the competition range. There were 10 targets, 8 targets were kill zone type targets and 2 targets were knock down style targets. A notable target was a 3in KZ prairie dog at 109 yards.

Scores for the 20 shot XFT course are:

Next season, XFT will be shot on a different day than AAFTA. And, we will be introducing a set of silhouette based side games on our AAFTA match days. More info will be available on our website as schedules are determined and game rules are set. https://www.palmyrasportsmens.com/Field-Target

Our next match will be Indoor FT on December 8.
