    Feeder raider sighting.

    You can take care of these coons with a couple Duke's Dog-proof coon cuffs. Google them. Set them and bait with the same seeds or corn. Sleep tight and he will be in the trap next morning. Then you can walk right up to him and SHOOT HIM IN THE HEAD!!! I hate coons!!

Mike, Y'all keep talkin' bout shootin' those heavy pellets, I'm gonna have to break down and super tune at least my .25 cricket to see what all the fuss is about.

    Looking for a 25 cal pcp for hunting.....

    For lighweight yet power and good shot count, it's hard to beat a Vulcan 25. I use mine to keep the sparrows and starlings at bay in my back yard where I have some martin houses. I can take head shots on the birds sitting on the boxes at 55 yards away. I've killed a bunch of coons, squirrels and...

    Tanning your kills

    
It OBVIOUSLY is NOT YOU SIR!!! You need to go get your facts straight! It is perfectly legal to shoot bobcats and coons (and a whole list of other non-game animals is this GREAT STATE. This is copied directly from the TPWD web site: Here's the link. ...

    We all want a quieter gun.

    I also use Donny's LDC's on my Crickets/Vulcans... Vulcan has the factory shroud with the adapter from Talon Tunes. The Crickets have Donny's CF Shrouds/adapters. They are all mouse-fart quiet. Donny sent me his early design to test and it was good... He later upgraded/changed the baffles and...

    More in depth with the ATN X-Sight II - HD and Speed issues

    
I don't use the GPS or Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and such, but do like the video feature and it is surprisingly good as long as you don't get too crazy with the zoom factor of the scope. This thing works very much like the old Sony TRV series video cameras with "night shot" except you can use it to...

    .25 Cricket stock

    Cool, BTB! Thanks. Looks like it even works! These are the as finished photos... weight down 1.1 pounds Also tried my hand at stippling and it came out pretty nice too... Had to do that to cover up flaws (bubbles) in the plastic that were uncovered by my cutting/sanding... Stippling blended...

    .25 Cricket stock

    I took my synthetic stock on my .25 cricket and through sawing, sanding and whittling, cut over a pound out of the stock. Made it a MUCH better rifle and easier to handle. There is a lot of excess plastic in that stock. There are pics in the "cricket picture thread" over on the TAG forum...

    More in depth with the ATN X-Sight II - HD and Speed issues

    Dang, you guys are makin' my head hurt! I put a 5-20 on my .25 Cricket, and it is devistating on coons under my feeder at night... First time out, I got 3 of the 4 that were there munching on the corn... waited until it was so dark I could not see them with my naked eye (range approximately 25...

    Any Lefties shoot an Edgun Matador

    I was exactly where you are a few years ago... at the time Ed had a Left handed bolt option listed on the web site... When I inquired about the cost of getting that option, I was very disappointed in the response/feedback I got... I was told I didn't need it. Since Ed is a lefty he knew better...

    Any ideas on lightening the stock on cricket .22 synthetic

    I took over a pound of plastic off mine by cutting/grinding the sides and butt end of it and I removed the magazine holder. It helped a lot. It turned out real nice too. After I finished the final sanding, I stippled the grip and fore end. There's a thread on the TAG Kalibrgun forum, Cricket...

    DOUBLE HEADER....AIRGUN PESTING

    Excellent video! The pellet flight in some of those shots is exceptionally clear! I guess shooting directly with the camera as opposed to thru your scope helps that a bit. Mine always have an out-of-focus pellet, but I video thru my scope.

Well my deer lease is ON the Rio Grande and I air gun hunt too... taken lots of coons, rabbits, n such plus a few red squirrels there. Wish they'd make it legal to take turkey and javelina with air gun! It would be no contest to get those from one of my bow stands...
