6/18 was a good night for splattering Mus. SJC

No rest available, so I had to take an offhand shot. SJC

Honey is the nectar of the God's. Have a friend that has a few hives next to his blueberry fields and the honey is awesome. I might be persuaded to barter predator elimination for honey. SJC

Two second chances in one day, Amazing. I weight sort my pellets as I was getting some flyers. Haven't had an issue, but the first shot on this mus was high and the follow up shot dead on. I took it to the basement range and had no issues. SJC

I don't get many second chances. SJC

This on thought it could hide behind a leaf. Silly Mus SJC

Tried to hide behind an old lawn mower. Mowed it down anyway. SJC

Love boats when docked and ready for action. Hate trailering and launching them, especially when doing it solo. SJC

These two videos are of some 30+ yrd shots at some country Mus at my brothers place upstate. He's was having a hard time with the Mus in his garage, so I thought I'd see what the Baraga/RIX combo could do to help out. I started to weight sort my pellets after having some accuracy issues and it did help a lot, as I dropped 9 of 11 Mus engaged at 30+ yards during the trip. I also used a Trigger stick tripod with a Trigger stick monopod under the buttstock for stability. SJC

This Mus was just hanging around till a pellet ended it's night. It popped out around 8 ft away, so I had to hold over because I had the rifle sighted in at 30 yards for my adventure upstate to visit my brother to help drop some country Mus. SJC

Looks like the predator took out a Mus last night. SJC

Got this one soon after dropping the rat. Don't know what's happening with my zero at longer distances, but it seems to be hitting an inch high at 20 yards, which is what I ranged this one at. It stacks pellets in my basement range target, so I'm going to have to bring the setup to the range and get it dialed in one day. SJC

Saw this crawling around the neighbors property earlier in the week. No mistaking what it was, the plague ! It finally came to the bait I set out for it last night. Plague eRaticated ! SJC

This one played hide and seek all night long. Patience is a virtue when Night stalking. You need to be prepared to take a shot when it's presented. As seen in this video, that's sometimes a difficult task when Mus hunting. Just wait, it'll happen. SJC

Changed the battery, hydrated and went out again. These two tried to hide, but there's no hiding from thermal. The Barra's trigger breaks clean so it's easy to thread the needle with it. A vast improvement over the Fusion 2's trigger. SJC

Well the Barra got off to a bad start with two misses last night. I took it inside to check zero and stacked them tight. I guess it shoots better when gassed lower than 2,000 psi. So I loaded the magazine and went out again. It didn't disappoint. This one must've thought it was safe after the misses, wrong !

All you need to do is mix 1-1/2 - 2 lbs of salt into a gallon of water. The vinegar and soap are useless against P I. SJC

Yes sir, it's great practice and keeps me in tune with using the back up thermal scope + monocular that don't get much use during the regular season. I've been mulling it over and after digging out all of the Cabela gift cards I've had lying around, I pulled the trigger on a PCP air rifle this afternoon. I bought a Barra 1100Z .177 cal rifle and Buck Rail moderator. Should be a deadly combo. SJC

This is a mouse that wouldn't sit still for a shot earlier in the evening. SJC

#3 for the night. Offhand at 15 yards. I keep going out of focus because I'm shooting through a fence and needed to see if the target wasn't blocked by a fence wire. Splat ! SJC

I've been looking to upgrade my converted Co2 to PCP rifle to a more tunable and accurate PCP rifle. I was reminded of that needed upgrade after lining up on a mus and nothing happening after pulling the trigger. Tank was empty after three days of no use. Tank no leak, so the rifle has an internal leak. For the price I paid for it, topped with a thermal scope, it didn't do so bad for shooting tiny animals at distance with a .177 pellet. Time to divert some funds and get a real PCP rifle. SJC #2 heart shot at 20 yards.

Couldn't sleep after eating Mexican food for for Mothers day dinner, so I decide to stalk some Mus. This one took six shots to drop, but it dropped none the less. SJC

When it rains it pours and it only took a couple of minutes after dropping the first Mus before this unfortunate Mus came into range. I thought I missed it, but like the Mus I shot earlier, it moved a little and then moved no more. You know a Mus is dead when it doesn't move. SJC
