Backyard Bullies... Revenge for my dog!!

img-4047.png


We've been having an ongoing battle between some Raccoons, Skunks, and a Giant Possum and our dog Piper. Things really came to a head the other night when my wife had to breakup a fight between a Possum and Piper. She was the Queen of the yard, but she's getting a little old and needs some help!

The video documents those efforts... some backyard pest control with the EDgun Leshiy and EDgun Matador R5M. All footage is shot through the ATN X Sight 4K Pro using the night-vision mode.

Very entertaining video. 

Agree whole heartedly about the opossums. I had a mystery sh*tter leaving large piles of crap on my top pool step this spring. I thought it was a raccoon because I have had that problem before. Ended up being a big boss opossum. Took care of him a couple of nights later with the .22 Coyote and a cheap night setup I have (small red flashlight clamped to the front air tub underside and a lit reticle UTG scope...cheap, but gets the job done). 

That was a monster raccoon. You can tell as soon as they do the crazy disco dance that your shot was good. 

Glad I don't have skunks in my area. That just looks like no fun whatsoever. 
 
Holy geez that coon looked like a bear cub lol. How much did he weigh? Awesome vid n tutorial on cooking . I have a .25 Ronin on my .22 flash , it's quiet I like it a lot. I have no experience with other mods, but how does the Emperor compare? I got a .25 because, I'll be buying a .25 Flash soon .

Keep on pesting

I forgot to weigh it... but it was HUGE! The Emperor is noticeably quieter than the Ronin. Besides just more volume, I believe the Emperor's baffle design strips air differently. The Emperor v2 has a deeper sound than the v3, and I think it's from the new front venting holes on the v3.
