That 4x4 is painted with florescent paint in a attempt to make my friends 15 years or so old NV scope be more useable at small prey @ 30 M.
He have also taken a few rats just fine but his track record are like 1 for 3 or something.
His old NV scope will run like forever on 3 little AAA batteries, i assume the phosphorus tech do not need as much power as a modern system do.
We now just use it for spotting CUZ you can see movement with it just fine, and sadly there is a long wait in between visits at the bait station so my Oneleaf NV500 can run out of power even if it have a OK battery life.
Contemplating getting a wifi extender, CUZ my M8 have a PTZ camera on the end of the barn that is aimed down at where we bait, so if the wifi reached the shot shed we could use that camera as spotter, this as it have a top down perspective also often allow us to spot the critters before they go for the bait.
But for now no wifi in the shot shed, and i would have to figure out how to do port forwarding on his router to access the NVR via a 4G phone.
And i am not strong in that network stuff, so a wifi extender seem the easy route.
Og course 1000 mbit internet would be nice to have in a field, then we could do some airgun p0rn in between shots.

Been a busy year and I’m definitely behind on posting squirrel pics. Here’s a few from the past month or two. Been back and forth between 2 of my rifles. Cricket 2 tactical .22 using redesigned style hades 25.4 gr and my Maverick .30 sniper using hybrids. Snuck a pic with my notos in there for good measure

Got one for you from this morning. Looking out of the window having coffee and seeing this guy trying to get into our greenhouse. Down to the basement I go and he decided to make it really easy on me sitting on one of my wood stacks. Wind left to right 8ish mph, hence the little correction to the left and a tiny bit down. Hit a tiny bit right of the eye and out through his left ear. AEA 33.9gr out of an M4, scope is a Zulus.

Indeed!! Whenever I consider building a feeder I remember shots like this and am like “nah, half of them make it almost too easy anyway”…

Another day another (or a couple) squirrels for the freezer. First one was a nice shot at 70yards sitting on a branch 5-6 feet up, dropped like a stone after impact. Failed to press record… the video was two guys running around at 35 - 50yards, I only saw one at first and was waiting for him to come out of hiding when I noticed the other guy. Man what a jumper!! He was lights out immediately, shot was good (and 65fpe…) maybe a little too far left/close to the ear but jumped like crazy. His buddy didn’t come out again though
