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

What to do ?
Mount that thermal scope on a PCP .177 air rifle and hunt mice !
It's good practice during the off season and your killing tick carrying mice, Win Win.
This is a video of my first mouse kill with the backup RIX L3 Thermal / Fusion II air rifle.

Coyote are big animals compared to a mouse and the trigger on the Fusion is a lot different than the Impulse predator, so I was a little shaky lining up the shot during the first hunt, but it didn't take me long to get back in the saddle.
Sometimes you need to take an insurance shot.

This Vole eluded me for awhile.

Was having some accuracy issues, so I switched to a heavier pellet and it seems to be working.
It takes a lot of patience waiting for a clear shot when hunting mice, but sometimes you need to throw caution to the wind and let it rip.
This was a beautiful night for using thermal and it looked even better with the HD feature turned on.

Being I had the opportunity to hunt all night, I made the most of it by dropping two mice.
The neighbors down the street were having a party, so it made perfect cover for my nighttime escapades.

These mice weren't invited to the party.

Im using my thermal mono for turkey hunting but since you are speaking of air guns,,, here is my new one. She is semi and full auto and I like it. I shoot the deer coming out of the woods and crossing the street, on the way over to eat my arborvitaes

Funny there "J" we know you don't shoot at the deer.

You are right,, they jump 6ft in the air and run back into the woods because I told them " Shoo, get out of here "


My pee shooter doesnt have enough energy to do more than sting them in the ass. 430fps

I hope you guys aren't baiting those mice or having some kind of illegal prize award for the most kills.

Just for the taxidermy....

This one slowed down enough for me to get a shot.
