Shot these seven tonight at ranges from 30 to 40 yards, the two biggest were shot using the red light. As you can see from two of the photos they are right on top of their holes. The one on the perch was my first of the day. Went seven for seven on them, all one shot kills. Alas, this dairy will be no more. The equipment is being auctioned off and the herd sold. Very sad. This is the second local dairy in three years to cease operations. Hard very hard to find workers during the pandemic.

Thank you gents, I'll still be able to roam the property. I just won't expect as many pests as before. Will branch out to prior permission spots. @flintsack, these suckers come out of what amount to fox holes, they are furtive, wary and constantly moving. I almost feel sorry for them, sub 50 yards, if they present they don't stand a chance. The Bantam has been simply an amazing pesting rig, she is heavy with the attached light, but I'm typically in an over watch position so that doesn't matter. @dizzums, very satisfying because they are wary bastages. @ranchibi, thank you sir.

The earlier videos I used the AEA HP bullpup in 25 caliber and I was shooting the H&N barracuda extreme pellets. But those have problems with the semi-automatic pellet guns because the skirt is so tapered that they tend to get pulled back into the breach. I switched to the AEA assassin but had some of the same problems. Now I am using an fx impact M3 which is significantly more accurate than the others. My typical range will go from between 20 yards and 50 yards depending on where I am at the time and whether I'm shooting indoors or outdoors. And this is a guy who owns a grain storage facility so this is inside of a large metal building that's stocked with grain for animals. We shoot at night when it's so dark you can't see your hand in front of your face but the thermal makes it look like daylight.
