Affordable Night Vision Option for Varmint Control

[Radicalman64]

I need an affordable option for some type of night vision rifle to take care of raccoons that are eating corn at deer feeders or tearing up the feeders. Thanks for your suggestions.

Night vision scopes have gotten cheaper but still probably in the 500 dollar range. Might be cheaper to just use a gun-mounted light or spot light depending on how far away you will be shooting from. You could use a magnum 22cal break barrel air rifle if close enough. You probably would want as close to 20FPE at the muzzle as you could get and take head shots or no shot at all. Otherwise, use a 22cal HP in a powder burner if you already own one.

Five Z-traps, dry cat food and about two or three nights and you'll be rid of them....for a while lol.

I would look at thermal instead of night vision. Not sure of what kind but I think thermal is the way to go.

Light em up, shoot em up, cook em up.

Barbecue Raccoon, a delicacy done south where I grew up. Making my mouth water thinking about it.
