Well, I tried this out, hand held, just to see what happened with it. It is way more than present. Amazingly bright on target. And then,..... And then, I hit one of the reflectors, and the laser beam turned back towards myself. Amazingly bright? There is nothing like shining a red laser in...

Yes,... with explanations. I went from legally blind this year, to being able to see again, due to cataracts. And, this artificial lighting thing presents challenges. Of those, as mentioned is flat light, and odd shadowing due to lighting angles. I'm still trying to get used to my new bionic...

@Bandito Kitty has become a slacker. But I think this has something to do with summer and it being hot. When I started part 1 of Me vs. My Cat, over at GTA, she was on an absolute tear. She was bringing us multiple rodents a day, or, at least a rodent a day, for months on end. Now, since it...

I have a small laser pointer that I've been kicking around trying on the Rats. Its not a functional shooting item, as it is a press and hold switch; let go, it goes dark. But I could use it on Rats that I see, in handheld mode, and see if they get jittery.

@Hal4son Some pics, from this morning. The Rodents did not show up last night (as evidenced by the leftover sunflower seeds).

@Hal4son In the original post in this thread, post #1, you can see a really good view of what I call the Rail. The Rail, in this OP, has a dead plinked Rat stuck behind a wire grid. That wire grid was used in an attempt to keep our Coyotes away from a bait that I was trying at that time...

A gent over at GTA has been Ratting with the third rear light (center brake lamp) from a more modern car; it is an LED tail lamp. He seems to be successful with it. I like these alternate uses like this table lamp! I mentioned Sunflower seeds. My wife is a Birder, a bird enthusiast/watcher...

Well,.... I've not run out of Rats. So, flat lighting is an issue that I've been having. There is not much in the way of depth, and shadows mess with dimension. one of the isms with the flat light is on what I now call the Rail, or, the runway created on the top of the two stacked baseboards...

The Rat on the backside of the flyer (like 10 shots worth):

I've just finished converting my Crosman 2289 Backpacker (10 pumper) from OE stock .22 14" barrel, to, a .177 16" barrel. I'm still blowing through Rats, and hitting backstop. I guess I'll try 8 pumps and see if that stops.

An exterminators postal spam arrived this afternoon. So, I put it on my pellet trap, which is right next to my Rat sniping Red Light District (wood backstop at ground level), and, I took some shots on a hot windy afternoon.

Well now, its officially fire season here. We now have two major fires burning in the not far distance. One of them, the Roblar fire is what they say is 5 miles away, on Camp Pendelton Marine Base, at the Zulu Impact Zone, where they launch the real powder burners from tanks and Howitzer-type...

thanks, Bandito! I had one Rat sighted multiple times at the 1:30am pee break, when on a whim, I went out and sat at the blind (most of this stuff is based around this timing regime). It was like a rocket, in and out of the Gallery. It was running along the backstop baseboards, that I've taken...

eyes wide open,..... Two rodent night last night,.... but, 8 hours apart. Rodent #2 was just now, at 5am, a Mouse that got around behind the backstop. I nailed it, and bounced it off the backstop. By the time i got out to where it was,.. poof, gone. Rodent #1 was a Rat, DOA at 8:45pm. as...

OK,.... WiFi and these cameras (trail cams or security). My target zone is likely 75' from my computer and WiFi. I do not have a cell phone. I'd like to capture video of encroaching rodents, and, be able to see the videos from my computer station. The camera placement will likely be close to...

Seeking permission to slightly highjack the thread, and for volunteers, to hopefully answer some questions about these types of things.....

I'm sort of old school. I still don't have a cellphone, and barely have a grasp on new tech. Hell, i haven't even answered a phone in like 20 years now; and have no idea how Sarges landline (digital landline thingy) works. My old flashlight, a Minimag AA, has been running on the...

over the last two nights,.... three rats. last night, two. two nights ago, 1:30am pee break, saw rat on bait. Went out to the blind, and, it was still there. no pics because of 25' of noisy crunching gravel, and Sarge is asleep mere feet from the action. I whacked the backstop with a...

Adding: Patience

I ventilated another Rat last night, but it got into the Rattlesnake bushes. So it was not chased. But, in bigger news,.... A Ground Squirrel wandered into my Whack-A-Mole Gallery yesterday afternoon. This is huge. I went on an eradication campaign, years ago, and this is the first Sage Rat...
