    Me vs. My Cat -- pt. Two

    And, reviewing last nights files, monitoring the Rats,.... This is at my Shooting Gallery. I don't "hunt". I just do time behind the blind, and, watch the Gallery. The critters move across it just like a carnival shooting gallery. I've seen just about every critter in front of it, except a...

    And I don't want to cast Kitty as too much of a slacker in all of this. first two are Kitty, and a recent Gopher. I dashed for the camera, but I was too late. guts, blood, guts, head: And, here she is with an absolute trophy, a Rat that was birthing another: And, I continued her good...

    night pesting - best budget thermal, as of july'25

    This is a comparison between night vision, and an LED lamp. And in terms of a scope, were talking about $350'ish minimum, vs., a $16 LED garden lamp. I use a dirt cheap Winchester scope, and the LED lamp. My shot is about 35'...

    from last night. Again,... I slept through the evening. no shots taken. But the camera was rolling. This pair of images are only a minute apart. They are with the NV lamp on, and then immediately after the low battery turned off the NV lamp. night view binoculars: My working view of the Red...

    And, with these videos is a point that I have finally been able to illustrate here at AGN,... I call my Rat shooting area my Shooting Gallery, and have done so for a long while, going back to its origins as a Ground Squirrel targeting spot. I've called it that, here, numerous times. I call it...

    So, I gave the Rats the better part of a year off, as I had reduced them to barely existing. I decided to see what was happening in Rat world, and set out the night vision camera to monitor them. This is what i found,.... The Three Stooges looking for trouble. I ended their year off. Night...

    Other Fill nipple protector cap?

    My old OE plastic cap broke. So,... nothing like a female Foster fill connector to act as cap/protector. I think its better than the original.

    Pellet traps

    This is mine, and my long sight-in range (target is distant white square near image center, in front of firewood backstop). It is a scrap wood frame of 2x2's, now covered in fence boards (not the OSB in the images). It surrounds a 1/4" thick steel plate mounted at 45º into a collection waste...

    @Bandito All is well. Many thanks for the ping. I'm very glad that the holiday is beyond us now. Well, I got me a Ground Squirrel for xmas. But, I was not able to get the trophy pics, as it disappeared into the wild edge shrubs in the background. I did get this picture of it a moment before...
