Went out to my lease to do a little pest control. Unfortunately, allowed my feeders to run dry so headed out for a little walk about and came across a Coyote mousing out in the pasture. Popped him at 90 yards but didn't judge the distance correctly. Think I hit him low and decided not to follow it into the brush. My brother and I went out to collect a few cotton tails and boy was that fun. There were rabbits everywhere. We quit after harvesting 8 of them. Man with the thermal they really don't have anyplace to hide! Here is my set-up, AirForce Condor with a Custom Valve, Hammer, Spring and a .257 cal barrel. Here are the bullets I was using. ![](http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a568/edgeer1/WP_20170515_11_00_20_Pro_zpsqd2ohaak.jpg)
They make ammo specifically for hunting for a reason!

That is a nice piece of equipment right there. I come from Louisiana where all we did was run dogs and use shotguns. Since coming to TX I've really wanted to get into thermal with a good piece equipment. Great job!

Any baffles in that barrel, or is it solid. Looks like it might be loud.

That's a R&L Shroud with 4 baffles over a 28" TJ's 257 cal barrel. Very quit. About 60fpe at 65 yards.

Not cheating, just a sweet budget!
