When I read this stuff I’m reminded of a show I watched about these guys who shoot rats in Great Britain and make a living off it. They use suppressed air rifles with scopes and night vision and they shoot hundreds a night. The rats never hear it coming so they don’t scatter. It was like shooting fish in a barrel.
I’ve done that very thing, as well as feral pigeons in daylight sans the nv. I have three PCP air rifles, lots of fun, extremely accurate.
