I shot 3 more down on a ranch in CO doing the night sniper & just waiting till they came on their own. It was not easy picking them out under a full moon using my binocs & gun scope w/the full moon for light, my night outfit until my laser lights get here.
Had I had my green lights I would have had at least an easy 7 shot in one night instead of trying to find them in my day scope in the moonlight.
I have a hay stack blind/house that overlooks a sweeping creek bottom that fingers to several directions and of course a dead pile.
I saw more than three sets of hands could count, but Id be more closer to 12-14 since these were coming & going as they got my scent or felt something was not right like the giant new haystack/blind 120 yards from the dinner plate.
COLD it was, I had on 2 shirts, 1 sweatshirt, over shirt, down liner & sweater shirt under my insulated snow camo & a m2d coat over that. I was warm except for my feet even in sorrels they were just cold, my foot heat packs could not keep them warm. It was in the teens w/very little winds if any.
A pal came up friday night and shot one & went back home due to his weekend priorities.
He left me his Sub Zero setup & I put it on my gun to use sat night.
