    Hummed five hares and two possums tonight. Quite a few hares around. Saw five possums and n total.

    Gear shift fucked out on quad so cruised around in third. Will check it later.

    Looking at it it's nigh vision monocular, you can see what appears to be a secondary lense which is actually the lazer illuminator.
    I have a clip on pard that I sometimes use like that if I want to "proper spotlight" and it works bloody well

    Yep its a Pard handheld IR scanner (NV019). It works bloody well.

    Exactly same IR tech as the Pard NV scopes.

    I was watching some at around 250 yards last night on a neighbors paddock, the fence behind them was a good 300 yds, could see it easy

    Can you get more range out of them if you use an IR torch as well?

    Yes, im only running the built in IR illuminator. If you run one of the better laser IR illuminators it can extend it out to around 600 yards.

    Just enjoying an afternoon coffee and looked out to see this dirty bastard. Quickly ran through the options of how to ensure it didn't get away, didn't fancy my athletic ability nor the 12gauge vs the deck so opted for the trusty .177 just a little hole in the noggin left it twitching on the spot

    Nailed this flaming tree muncher (they live in the "reserve" next door, and venture over to eat the better half's new trees, despite @Kiwi-Hunter 's efforts) at 90M with the Contender 17HMR. I'm really loving this rifle, easily the most accurate rimfire I've shot (although ammo quality does still cause issues) .

    I find some rifles are easier to shoot well than others, due to combinations of balance and trigger etc. This one is just about perfect.

    Had to sit and wait for 25 min before he showed himself but a bit of effort makes for a very satisfying outcome.
