Thermal optics

[Snatch Napkin]

Is there anyone who would be willing to rent out some thermal optics? I would even pay you to bring it over and use it yourself, if you were worried about anything happening to it.

I've got a Chuck Will's Widow that calls all night long that I cannot find. I know which tree it's in, but I just can't see him. These are nocturnal birds with a very loud call. I am going to shoot it with a pellet gun so I don't scare the shit out of my neighbors.

That sounds like a night of quality entertainment. If I had the optic I would help you out for the price of Beer. Good luck.

I would gladly buy alcohol, if you're over 21, and dinner for anyone willing to help out.

This fucking bird comes back every year and calls right outside of our bedroom. I wind up sleeping on the couch while he's in town. Jenn can sleep right through him.

No thermal, but I have nvg. gat0r has thermal.

Typically, these birds make their nest on the ground or fairly close to it. They blend in with their environment very well and I cannot find him in the daylight. If he were active during the day I could.

When he goes to calling, he gets up about 35 feet. I'm not sure if nvg would be sufficient at that point.

Worse comes to worse Robert, just rent one. I believe these guys are local.

Man I'm a fucking miser!!

We shall see. Nationwide shipping does take the sting out a little.

A still hunt with CB shorts would be the way to go, Roberto.

I don't know how you can possibly see a little bird with thermals through all the burning napalm

Meh, I've got a .22 Ben Franklin and a .177 GAMO that will easily do the trick.

You just can't locate the beast?

Nope. I'm gonna try one more trick on Monday. I'll see if Mona can sniff her out while I stand ready with a pellet gun. She's been honing her hunting skills these last few weeks and has gotten a taste for killing her own food outside.

She even faced down a mockingbird that tried a sneak attack, talked to it with some mean guttural noises, and turned her back like a boss. You could see the bewilderment in the bird. It finally flew away.

Noice. Mona rules.

Have someone blind it with a nice LED flashlight while you peg it with the GAMO.
