I'm looking for a scope for night time ratting. I can get a discount on X-Vision products but have zero knowledge of them. Can anyone give me some feed back? All I know is it weighs 2+ pounds.

I have been hoping to get a rabbit here for the past two years. I see a bunch of them at the end of my driveway because there is perfect habitat for them to build their warrens. Unfortunately I can't hunt there because it's too close to the road. I see them closer to my house but it's pretty...

Got a squirrel this morning from my porch with my .25cal Avenger shooting FX Hybrids. This is the first slug I've recovered and it definitely shows signs of expansion. The squirrel was 30yds out and 30' up being chased by two others. It's very satisfying seeing them fall out of a tree DRT after...

Got my first ever deer today! It was with a crossbow, no airguns allowed for deer here in Illinoyed. I was just about to pack it in because I was getting cold and the rain was starting to seep through my layers, but out of the corner of my eye I saw movement 150yds away, out in the field next...

This morning I was looking for a rabbit for Christmas dinner but this little girl decided she would try burying an acorn in the grass before heading back to her tree. That was the last mistake she'll ever make. Caught her at the ear and I found the pellet under the skin just behind her other...

I noticed my scopes were blurry this fall when I was brushing up on my holds before hunting season. Luckily, I got a scope from Franklink this summer with AO, so I could use the focus to see what I was aiming at. The real problem: I only have one scope with AO, so I was stuck using my Sniper XR...

Does anyone have any experience using infrared to recover game? I found this : https://shop.opticsplanet.com/aimshot-hs3500b-and-hs3500c-thermal-imaging-systems.html?_iv_code=AS-H1-HEATSEEKER3510-HS3510B&gclsrc=aw.ds I mostly want to use it to find deer after dark and find the squirrels I've...

I just realized I ran out of my go to pellet, the .22 Crosman Premier Hollow Point. I pulled up Pyramid Air and noticed they were having a Crosman 20% off sale. As you may know, they also have a buy 3 tins get the 4th free. I figured one would cancel the other out, as often is the case with...

It's too darn hot to sit in the woods lately. I put up the 'gone fishing' sign. It's not much better but sometimes there's a breeze and sometimes a bite brings dinner. How are you guys beating the heat besides sitting in AC?

I got a replacement moderator 3D printed by @miksatx. He only had long ones and so I asked if he could print the original drop in replacement. That was last Friday. I got it today (Thursday) and installed it at lunch time. Thank you Mike! Install process was very simple. Step 1) Using a...

In Illinois, squirrel season runs from Aug 1-Feb 15 and I'm excited for early mornings pre-sunrise walking/sitting in the woods! For me it is the beginning of my hunt calendar since I only really hunt 3 things - squirrel, rabbit, and deer. And I'm very lucky that I can just walk out my door and...

Like the title says. I was trying to do a 30yd challenge and realized that I could barely make out the targets. Combine that problem with realizing my Notos is accurate past where my red dot is useful to me and I decided an upgrade in magnification was due all around. I really love the scope...

Everyone (well most of us anyway) needs a pellet trap. I wanted something with a handle so I could easily carry and move it around. I had saved a plastic cat litter container to use for something. I was about to throw it out and that's when I saw the cat on the cover and thought that it looks...

We have a very reactive German Shepherd named Amos(it's a characters name in The Expanse book & tv series and my screenname). We've done a lot of work to make him less so but one stumbling block remains. I can't pick up an airgun without Amos going crazy. I think it goes back to the first time I...

After trying the 30 yd Challenge and realizing I can't actually see the target very well with my 3-9x40 scope I'd given up trying that challenge. But I knew I needed to keep at target shooting somehow so I wouldn't lose my edge come squirrel hunting season. So I looked for similar targets as the...

If you've ever heard a rabbit scream then you know... All rabbit season, I'd see a couple rabbits down near our road(where I can't shoot them) but that was it. I didn't see/hear a single other rabbit on my property all hunting season(11/5-2-15). Previous to that, my then 5mo puppy, Amos was...

I'd like to get a .177 but have such a hard time handling pellets I'm leaning towards .22 unless someone has some great tips for loading. Currently my only .177 loading experience is loading my 1950's single shot Sears & Roebuck Daisy. I feel like loading a magazine might be easier but am not...

The wife called a halt to my squirrel killing spree about a month ago because we had enough in the freezer. In that time the tree rats have been getting comfy again, slowly moving back into range of the house, which is driving me crazy! So crazy that my Crossman squirrel targets need a serious...

Looking to start on upgrades for my Avenger in a couple of weeks as the last hunting season closes for this winter. Are the 3D barrel harmonic bands worth the effort? I will have the gun apart for other work so fitting them will just be time spent, but is it worth it? Do they actually make a...

I live in Illinois. Until this year a rifle could not be used to hunt deer but new regs say a single shot .30cal or larger pushing 500fpe can now be used. I got so excited because I know where to get a rifle that meets those specs(all I want is a Quackenbush .458 LA Outlaw to hunt deer with)...
