    I have a photon xt I am happy with for within 150 yards. Also have a sightmark wraith on order for another gun, and have a gen 2+ d750 marauder with a white phosphor tube which am real happy with. I have not heard real good things about ATN tho...but maybe they upped their customer service and quality.

    Do you hunt ducks while sitting in the boat?  Or do you use it just to get to your spot?  Looks great. 

    I sit-lay back while in the yak

    How doesnthenwave Walker handle river fishing ... skinny water?

    not really sure have only had it in portions of the susquahana that were pretty slow moving. Have not been on any really fast moving rivers with it. doesn't need much water to float it - check out the videos on the link - guys use them for everything from ocean fishing to duck hunting. here is mine grassed out for duck hunting

    Patterning Your Turkey Gun & Loads

    in Turkey Hunting

    Posted

    I set a target at 40 yards. Target has a life sized turkey head/neck on it backed by a large piece of cardboard. I use my gun vice as a rest, aim with a red dot sight, shoot. Then check out the pellet pattern. Adjust sight to highest concentration of pellets and repeat until am comfortable that the highest concentration of pellets is on the target area I am aiming at. I use winchester long beard #5's and a choke designed for those loads out of my mossberg 835 3.5" shotgun w/ 26" barrel.

    red squirrel blues

    got him/her with a havahart. Relocated about 3 miles away to a state forest. According to sources he/she only has a 3% chance of survival after relocation but would have had a zero % chance if I didn't get him/her with the havahart. If there were young-uns they will have a zero % chance of survival, But my house will have a 100% chance of survival. Hate to do things like this but it is what it is.

    I have this red squirrel (pine squirrel) who broke into my soffit. Wasn't sure if he was up there so I shoved a bottle into a little opening to see if he would push it out. Woke up this am and sure enough bottle was chewed and laying on the ground. Rather than close him in and letting him eat his way out, I will wait for him to exit and close up the soffit or try the vertical rat trap method. I have caught reds in my barn using the rat trap the traditional way but this will be a first trying it vertical. damn red squirrels! I have an avanti 853c air rifle but it doesn't have enough foot pounds to toast it. I might have to put a scope on my benjamin sheridan 1500 if all else fails and wait him out.

    anybody have any other ideas...suggestions

     

    thanks
