    What to do with all of your expensive thermal gear after Predator season ends in NY ?

    Mounted the S60R on the PCP to get familiarized with it before predator season opens in NY. Heat and Humidity, this scope doesn't disappoint. SJC https://youtube.com/shorts/BA-73oJQfTc

    Loading your own carry / self defense ammo

    Agree fully. I get into a fight I'm coming out on top by any means necessary and could care less about what I use to make that happen. I don't bet my life on ammo made by someone else. I load all of my carry ammo using the best components on a single stage press and it works 100% of the time...

    Predator Season Starts October 1st

    The third dog I dropped at a beef farm in orange county. I dropped a male yote there two weeks ago and figured the female might be around. Well she was around and was howling the whole way into and in the field we were set up in. Dropped her at 180 something and being it was the last weekend of...

    Predator Season Starts October 1st

    The second dog of the night was taken after a long game of hide and seek with a couple of different coyote. I got to the second stand around 11 pm and it immediately started to rain, snow and hail. I found a comfy pine tree and took cover until it passed around 11:45. At 11:50 the woods opened...

    Predator Season Starts October 1st

    Ended the 24/25 season with three dogs down. Two on 3/27 and one on 3/29. Weather sucked on 3/29 + 3/30, so I'm glad I took Thursday and Friday off to enjoy hunting in some decent weather. Hunted a camp that I was told has a coyote issue. I wanted to go earlier, but couldn't get access because...

    Here's a video of a hunt last Sat PM with my buddies Savage enhanced Impulse Predator 22-250/ NocPix H50R. 148 yards in foggy humid conditions. One of the three that came in, a big male. Second one taken there in two weeks. You can see the other dog in the top left area of the pic. SJC

    His S50R is a great scope. NocPix hit it out of the park with the Ace scope's. 18650 battery power, ocular zoom, built in Obj LRF and awesome display resolution, you can also playback your recorded video in the scope. Still lacking in the image/ease of use dept compared to my X50 with the BAE...

    Recommendations for a Thermal Rifle Optic

    Subsonic 338 ARC is meant to be used with a suppressor. It's still handgun loud when not using a suppressor, but will be a little quieter than std velocity ammo. The spectrum scope has an on board ballistic calculator, so it'll make longer shots taken with the anemic 338 ARC subsonic ammo...

    Recommendations for a Thermal Rifle Optic

    If it's just for deer culling, any digital NV scope with a 4x base mag using an IR illuminator will work. Looking over the sports south site at what's available in your price range, I would say the AGM spectrum LRF DNV scope would be a good choice for your needs. Spectrum I advise digital...

    Finally had a chance to get out without mother nature throwing a wrench into the hunt. Had two dogs come in last night/this morning. First dog skirted the field edge in the no shoot zone and disappeared. The second dog didn't. 208 yards with the enhanced Savage Impulse .243/Rix L3. Big female. SJC

    Have heard at a distance but haven't seen any dog's over the last several weeks. We put a hurting on the local population, so it takes a little time for the Beta coyote to get around to taking over Alpha dog territory after we evict them. Finally got some dogs to answer from a couple hundred...

    Predator Season Starts October 1st

    Dropped this one Sat PM on the first set. It must've been resting on the ridge below us out of the wind, as it got up and bolted when I started calling. It didn't bolt fast enough. I always try to make it a point to keep the chatter/noise down while entering and exiting a stand location. This...

    Put out a bait pile and a camera. See when they visit and hunt accordingly. Coyote are very territorial, so it must be a pack that's hanging around your uncle's place. Good luck

    Budget thermal on the way, may surprise some of you!

    Looks like a very versatile optic at a reasonable price. Looking forward to seeing some varied range pics when the weather gets better, but it's also good to see how it performs in inclimate weather too. SJC

    No need to step up your game If it gets the job done. I buy all this gear because it gives me an excuse if I miss. It can't be me, it has to be the new fangled scope, rifle or ammo. Speaking of ammo, I loaded up some fresh 20-250 rounds with Hammer 20 cal 41gr HHT's for the new year after...

    Budget thermal on the way, may surprise some of you!

    Here's some basic thermal info. Thermal info The most costly and critical part of a consumer thermal optic is the germanium objective lens. All parts are critical, but the internals won't matter without a good lens that'll let unaltered IR transmissions through in a certain waveband. The newest...

    My buddy is deadly with his 22-250 Impulse Predator. That's the third dog he dropped in that field, almost at the same spot. It was my turn to shoot, but why mess with a 2-0 record. SJC

    The new Seeker/Taipan V2 is an awesome update to the Taipan line. Everything I wanted in a thermal mono at a great price. The 640 image of my Fuzion is great and the 2x base isn't bad, but it's nice to have the wide FOV of the TM15 when hunting in the woods. When I'm hunting alone I'll usually...

    Predator Season Starts October 1st

    Once I spot a target the mono goes into the chest pouch and I'm on the scope. Recording a kill isn't the priority, so if it happens it happens. I'm usually a one man show, so running the call, spotting and shooting are enough things to worry about doing. I don't want to risk losing a dog because...

    Went out Sat PM with a buddy. After arriving at the first stand location he picked out I knew we weren't going to see anything as we had no cover from the full moon, the wind was gusting and it was freaking cold. Nothing wants to be out in gusty cold conditions. After dropping him at his house I...

    Yes. We target dogs that are showing no fear of humans and/or are terrorizing and killing livestock or pets.

    Dropped a dog this morning. By the time this dog showed up I'd been up for 22 hours, sat in 3 hours of traffic and was fading. I woke right up when the dogs started to answer back. SJC

    Predator Season Starts October 1st

    I'll save a dog if the pelt is nice and a farmer is interested in keeping it. Usually in the colder months or if it's a dog taken on their land. Mostly the pelts are worth nothing as the cartridges I use aren't fur friendly. I'm more concerned with eliminating them. SJC

    Didn't use the call to get this one in range. It just appeared on the trail. We saw some evidence of dogs trying to get into a deer pen and figured it was a good place to sit. SJC
