The second set of eyes that i think was a yote yes. It came out of the hedgerow for a few seconds, enough to line up a shot. Definitely look at the sightmark wraith, but like the atn u need to upgrade the ir light and u will need a battery pack. -

The wraith competes with the atn x sight 2 price wise. They have more similarities than the 4k. The wraith definitely seems to be the best bang for your buck right now. Interested what the wraith 4k will be like and price point. -

Well, went out last night into orleans county. First stop had yotes sounding off probably 1/2 mile away. Nothing showed. Next stop, BIG field. Still nothing, no tracks of any fox or yote in that one. Headed back to my buddys house to hunt a field across from his house, right before his driveway a fox crosses right infront of us into the field. Grab our guns and a couple hand calls. Tracked him down and spotted eyes about 125 yards out. Setup my gun and took a shot. Felt good...but no dead fox. Ill post a pic a 10th sec before the shot. Walk up to were it was standind and u can see the bullet hit right between his feet. At that distance the bullet should have dropped less than a inch. Tracked him more and cought up again, but he was a little over 200 yards id guess. That shot i pulled a little right, all i could see was his head. There will be a pic of that too. So im pretty pissed, the first shot was a gimme, that bullet was off atleast 6". This a.m. i go through the scope and watch the videos, turn it off. Turn it back on to show my kids the videos and no icons showing up, no cross hairs. Turn it on and off 10x, still nothing. Look it up and its a common blank screen issue, thetes a video explaining everything i need to do that includes resetting it to factory specs, dowloading original firmware, the installing the latest firmware or something. This may be it for me and the scope, its really nice when it works but if this happens during a hunt id flip out. So i think im goin to return it and hope i can get a refund, if not ill just sell it and get a conventional scope and just go back to red lights. -
Happy Birthday

Seen a bunch of black coyote pics with the white patch. Get a pic after it went by? Wild dogs have straight tails, domesticated dogs have curved tails.

Thats my plan. -
Well the creed is ready for Friday
Gencountyzeek replied to moog5050's topic in Small Game and Predator Hunting
Good luck tonight! Charge those batteries!!! -
Saw 4 together 2 weeks ago. Too bad they were running, downwind and over 300 yards out.

I did the red lights, trying the cheaper nightvision now. I love the scope when i remember to charge it. ATN 4K pro 3-14. Running a wicked lights 403ic 850nm ir light. I cant id deer at 400 yards with it.
-
Good lights will run you under $300 for scan light and gun light. "Cheap" nv scope will run $500-$700 then you need a ir light to go with it so $200. You can scan with that or get a handheld scanner, something like a Bushnell equinox z2, lookin at another $325ish. Better night vision runs $1400ish Thermals start around that $1400 and go way up to $7000+.

Ive been scanning with just the gun and ir light. But i knew the battery was to low to do that so i brought my wicked light red scan light. -

That battery pack is for the atn x sight 2. The 4k pro is a internal lithium ion battery. So it just has to be charged and it will last up to 18hrs. But if left on before hunting for a day or 2... -

Well this will be the night of im a dummy. Scope was dead before i left. It got to charge for 30min before i left. Grabbed my shockwave...what an ass... i left that on too. It takes 10 AAs. I had 4 new ones. Get to the first set, calls on, i bark and howl with my diaphram call, then hit female deep howls on the foxpro. Its all gritty sounding. 4 new batteries out of 10 is not good enough. Just do howls and barks with my mouth call. Get some yotes to sound off a ways away. Call back and fourth for 5 minutes then silence. Put nutty nuthatch on the call since its kinda screachy sounding anyway. More barks and howls but no takers. Next set, head into another field, start walking the call out and i catch eyes lookin at me. Sneak back to the gun, turn on the scope...screen says battery critically low and shuts off So i take my gun off the tripod, put my buddies gun on it. We watch the eyes movin down the hedgerow maybe 175 yards out. He has a old bushnell and a tiny green gun light. I have my wicked light scan light on it but he cant get a good look at it. 99% sure it was a fox. O and the call went dead at this time... so now im howling and barking again with the mfk diaphram call. 5 minutes later boom eyes. Bigger brighter eyes down wind of us. They start out 150 yards and start up the hedgerow. Definitely moving out of the brush, they stop for a second and then in the hedgerow and gone. Buddy couldn't find it in his scope fast enough. 99% sure that was a yote... damnit!!!!!! We waited another 10 minutes, then headed home. On the bright side im getting much better with the diaphragm call. Be back out Saturday to new property in orleans county, with fully charged batteries!!!!! -

Heading out for a couple quick sets in akron. Buddy said yotes were goin crazy last night. That probably means they are nowhere in the area today. -
Great price...very tempting if i could figure out a need...

Looking to get a bow dipped or coated
Gencountyzeek replied to mlammerhirt's topic in General Chit Chat
Got a guy in Batavia that does hydro dipping. I know he has done gun stocks. -
Hope your fair offer was $800+. Great looking guns.

Sold and bought from gunbroker a bunch of times without issue. As long as you go thru a ffl it should all be good. Ship from a ffl to a ffl.
