2 coons caught with their hand in the "cookie" jar.
- Thread starter BlackICE

Likewise, last night heard loud "thump", two raiding neighbor's trash, previous incidents implicated cats, which I don't shoot, surprised to see these two. Grabbed M3, they took off as I peered around house corner. Two marked for extermination. WM

They were lucky that my Edgun r5m let me down. I had the magazine disconnect lever down so it wouldn't chamber a pellet. Got off two blank shots before they ran off. As Arnold would say they'll be back.

More often than not for these suburban bandits if I wait around for a few minutes they tend to come right back.

Must have really scared them, never came back. Here's a light for picatinny mounting on M3. Don't have red lens, used clear tape painted with red marker. M3 has IR scope, center dot only, just perfect.

I use the remotely mounted and Wi-Fi controlled red light mounted about 30 or 40 degrees offset from my position. I noticed that if the red light moves around they notice it and may spook them. But a steady red light they have no concern about.

Thanks for the tip, seems once a year I have to deal with these trash raiders, mostly just clip light on M3 and sneak around corner of house, 20-yard shot. Better if I can catch them out by street, farther but better lit and less likely to scare. Probably did spook them bad, they took off like out of a cannon when I rounded corner with light on, maybe need better red lens, flashlight is a bright one. WM

A good poor man's night vision is a red LED light connected to a wall outlet or large battery constantly lighting up your bait station. That combined with a harbor freight driveway sensor will do the trick combined with your illuminated reticle scope. Trash pandas won't care at all about a dim red light this constantly on.
