Buddy has a raccoon problem along with a jack rabbits over population so I went out last night and did something about it.

Not all animals are pictured I shot two coons in some thick stuff and left them and also shot two stinky skunks along with 4 more rabbits on the way out. Total was 14 jack rabbits, 5 coons, 2 skunks, 1 fox and 1 set of antlers from last yr. called the coons in with nutty nuthatch and called the fox in with lightning jack and shot them with my 6.8 SPC SBR using the Armasight Vampire NV. The jack rabbits I just drove through the pastures shooting them with my weapon mounted light and my 10/22 good times.

How do you like the Vampire? Big step up over a Gen 1?

it's actually pretty sweet other than being pretty heavy. As long as you have a good IR light is some of the best NV I've used. I can easily see 400-500 yds from high ground. Shot that fox last night at 120 yds heart shot. I'd say for 800 bucks it's worth the money and it's even more worth it bc I won it in a photo contest.

Good grief Sapper. Keep this up and your going to need an ammo sponsor.
