Night vision work last night.

[mole trapper 1,693]

The weather has been holding me up on starting a new rabbit job, last night it was finally dry but very cold wind chill, decided i had to go though as the customer is having a lot of damage caused to an old orchard.

So got the thermals on and got out there at 7.30, the two paddocks and orchard would fit on a football pitch almost, so it is a walk and shoot, then sit down out of the wind for 10 minutes then patrol again, this carried on till 3.30am, by this time there was very little action.

The tally was 61 rabbits for 64 shots, forgot my small torch so only picked up 57, all gutted and in the freezer.

Regards MT.

Pictures of some of the damage done to the fruit trees, another 2 nights NV work and a couple of days ferreting should put a stop to this.

Just realised there is 1 rabbit missing, one of those theiving lurchers must of snuck off with it.

Cheers, bugger is i am trying to get out and cull some more Fallow does before it is too late but the damned rabbit and moles are in coherts with them, lol.

No I could not hit a barn if I was inside with a catty. Usual rabbit medicine, Rugger 10/22 with Eley subs, most lung/heart shot others head shot, when on paid jobs I go for engine room shots in preference as it comes down to numbers so dont want to miss too many.

nice work jamie... what sort of distance can you see with your unit ? be nice to see some pictures through it...

[mole trapper 1,693]

Blo.dy hell richie, you dont want much do you lol, i have enough trouble getting the damned thing to work let alone getting pictures through it.

Let me put it this way, When it is behaving itself and it is dry with clear visability the rabbits you see at 35-75 yds are clear as day albeit in green, BUT, the cross hair is still hard to make out until you get used to it, nothing like the new digital stuff, does the job "when it is working", but for the money.

[richie 1]

when i first started to use add-ons i had the same problem with getting the crosshairs in focus... using the scope in day time the crosshairs were bang-on, when i added the add-on, it went pair shaped...

 

now before i attach the unit i give the eye relief a few turns & all is good..

 

have you tried adjusting the eye relief before putting the unit on ?
