Used the ATN night vision tonight, the rats aren’t liking this purchase. I need to do some distance sighting to confirm trajectories out to 150 yds but at 30 yards it appears to be dead nuggets.

Good morning fellas. A nice day expected for early march, maybe a bit breezy from time to time and about 70f.

Some of these hedge logs are 35’ long..

I'd love to find some big 'uns like that! Awesome haul!
Good morning y'all.

Are you getting different weather reports then I am? Here they are saying 20-30 mph winds with possibly higher gusts.

Yeah I had to rocks in my pockets to keep from blowin away. Lead ans steel wasn’t enough today.

What is it mounted to

Ruger American 17 HMR

 

[JimBear]

I was going to put it on a 22 but after much deliberation, some research & testing the 17HMR seemed to be the way to go. 22 LR seem to pass thru most things that rats, coons, rabbits, skunks & such, the 17HMR with ballistic tip hits & explodes generally leaving no exit

17HMR has better range & accuracy at least in my testing.

The ir light that came with the ATN is good out to about 125yds with fresh batteries.

SniperHog lights makes 4 ir lights that have spectacular reviews, with the 66 & Coyote Cannon being claimed & confirmed out to 500-800yd effective range.

If I get into yote hunting I will upgrade the ir & then move the scope over to something with more of an AT&T philosophy.

I want to get acclimated to the scope & functions before mounting in a larger caliber as well.

Thats my line of thunking anyway.

FWIW: An old Remington model 12 using shorts makes less noise than a pellet gun.

Very impressive lumber for hedge logs.
Looks like you got pretty good cuts, what blade size & hook angle are you running?

No idea..

I just call wood mizer and get their medium fodder.

Very scientific.....lol.
I ask because the little 8" hedge log I cut a few weeks back didn't cut at all nicely with the 4° .045" blades.

I will find out..

FWIW, I opened up the log with a dull band that was at least still cutting straight..
It started diving about 3 cuts after..

I put a new band on and it cut way better.

Thanks.

Yep, dull blades like to dive in super hard woods.

You run lots of water lube while cutting it?

None...

My water tank cracked and I never replaced it..
