Was using the 15.89 gr. HADES again tonight. 1022 FPS.
More rat(s) kills with the GHOST from tonight

NICE! Really good stuff. What was the camera / NV unit you were using? Nevermind, I saw on another post of yours it's a Pard. Excellent video clarity though. Almost as nice as the shots!

They are so big at my friends farm. And loads of them. So much waste grain all over the place.

I was messing around with the iPhone feature on my phone using the video I posted above, and was able to do a freeze frame feature at the instant before each shot.

Those norway rats cause so much grain depletion and they are such a hazardous infestation to farmers! I just trap/shoot fruit rats in my back yard, they are not a communal species like norway rats so not as big of a problem plus they are a smaller species.

It’s great shooting pest rodents. Always wanted to shoot ground squirrels. Lots of rats in my friends farm.

I bet. The ground squirrels on my property hardly come up. This huge field up the road I see them all over. Wish I had a setup like yours. I’m curious if they are more active at night too.

It’s pretty easy. I just learned it yesterday. What you do is open iMovie on your iPhone, it’ll say start new project. Under that click movie. From there you transfer whatever videos you want from your photo album. Once you transfer them over, the editing feature comes up. At the bottom of the screen you’ll see different editing things you can do to the video clips. One of them says freeze. You just click on the word freeze and slide your finger along the clip to wherever you want it to freeze and it drops it right in there. I just saw it today when I was watching a YouTube video on editing iPhone iMovie footage. It’s really easy.

I know what you mean about enjoying watching them. I’m always doing the same thing; watching YouTube videos of them. I got loads of saved videos of kills. I’ll have to research how to make a video of all of them for YouTube. I’ll keep posting them here. Wednesday hopefully. Weather permitting.

Read up on the YouTube rules, there are some very sensitive Karens there and you'll be tossed off if you're not careful.

DV; forgot to answer you about night time activity of these creatures. Yes, they are definitely more active at night. At least more visible I should say. They are very wary and skittish things. Nighttime you definitely see them constantly. They also like cover over them. Like sitting under old pallets, anything like that that makes them feel more secure.They’ll usually sit still longer with the cover over them to. It’s great getting after them in pitch black with a night scope. They have no clue.

Winter time , most of the GS are hibernating. The ones you see are probably big males, small cat size. Night-time hunting would not be good due to natural predators, squirrels can't see them as well as the predators can, owls and bobcats.
I'm in central California, Monterey Bay area.
Try a Ghost Blind, they work great.
