Title: Nice double
Post by: Sanatorium on April 19, 2020, 03:04:42 PM
Aside from a single yote I took early in the evening I ended up with a double on the 4th and final set. My 6.5 bolt gun was hot last night...gearing up for another round tonight if the wind dies down...

Looks like your putting a thinning out on them.

Doing my best to rid my area of them.
These were all taken within 2 miles of my home area.

We never did end up doing any calling, got a few in traps and a few chasing them with dogs.

I dont do much if any trapping.  I enjoy going out and calling them. I use a savage 6.5 tactical with a pulsar thermal on top...kinda over kill. But when I was out last night I can see turkeys roasted in the trees kinda like they were cheering me on

That's the kinda audience you want! I am not interested in thermal myself, not knocking at all, just not my thing, I do want to get a nice scope mounted light for my .243 Winchester, it has a 50mm scope on it so I think I may have a harder search on my hands. I would love to use a gun I got when my uncle died because it would not rip up the fur as much, but do not want to mar the scope on it in any way.

You can get a nice atn 4k 3 to 14 for about 500 but the IR light that comes with it sucks so I'd put a nightsnipe 550 IR on and and can identify targets out to 300 easy with it

I am looking to get this kit with both red and green lights on it.

That will work as well...with the green you can see farther

I use a green when I walk into the woods both turkey and deer hunting. I know that a white light will spook them and it makes to sense to me to walk in to hunt turkey with a red light when we know they see red.
