Outside of your firearm and boxes of ammo - what's your top 2 favorite things you go on vermin patrol.
It could be a serious item like survival equipment. It might be something simple like sun screen.
I'm really interested as I'm sure there will be some things that might surprise us all ... and some things I might need to buy !!
Here's mine ... my Harris Bipod and my Leica 10X25 Ultravid's. Have some fun with this ... cheers PJ

My bum bag that neatly carries ammo, knife, survival blanket, allen key, radio and a couple of spare batteries. The bag cost a whopping $5.
Next most important would be two slightly modified (aspheric lens and smooth reflector) torches. Buy UltraFire WF-501B Cree R2-WC 250-Lumen LED Flashlight Black (1*18650/2*CR123A)
Jesus, you love these two item things!!
Since it's a long time between shots I like to have to have the local phone sex number on hand. That kills the two bird thing, phone and credit for it.
Hey Wirehunt ... I do because I know that I'm a creature of habit and I always have my 'go to' things. I want to know what other people have as theirs.
I was expecting someone to say condoms and KY ... I think your comment will be the closest.
Locator beacon and swiss army knife. . . :)

But my favorite accessory for varminiting is my mates Beta Mag
No need to adjust your shooting position to reload cause you don't have to, Reload that is!!!!!!!!!!

You misunderstand, Its not that you shoot anymore rounds at the pasky varmints just you only have to load once and it doubles as rest.Quote:

Might be some stuff for sale soon
#1 - Video camera, everyone loves seeing small critters exploding at range, the 204 was good for that sort of carry on.
#2 - Vehicle, I hate walking to shoot varmints, drive, see something, stop, shoot, drive
#1 - Shit load of ammo so I don't need to aim, just spray and prey.
#2 - Good mate to talk shit to and give heaps for missing, plus they usually better at spotting than I.
I would shoot more rounds, hence i dont own a semiQuote:

How is yours going? Mine seems happy out to about 550m. Way further than I'm ever likely to shoot.Quote:

Old phone is old way back in 2010 !
Have dropped it onto rocks so many times it probably thinks it lives there, gets dragged through the dust and dirt and still performs. I use it as a spotting scope on bunnies from time to time too, easier than using the scope sometimes.
my lta 750 and my ar15. makes life fun and interesting
along with my 22hornet or the 222 usualy just a couple of osm and some water
My dodgy mate shoots bunnies with his 30 06, "not enough gun" I keep telling him!Quote:

The second thing is hard as there is a few contenders, but probably the scrap of closed cell foam i cart around in place of a shooting mat.
Range finder and Harris bipod.
If bipod is counted as part of the gun, then next is phone too take pictures of my victims.
Need to get a video camera sorted so can video plovers in their last moments before they explode.
No.1 bucket. No.2 of bullets:D
My acculong range quick detach bipod and my Leica 10x25 pocket bingos. The bipod takes 10 seconds to clip onto the base and is very steady
binos and rangefinder
started varminting with 8x32 Steiners and 1200 Niklon
now use 10x42 Kahles and 2400 Leica

Nikon & Steiners now stay under the seat in the truck . . for when i forget one of the others, sadly done that a few times.
1) Homemade quad sticks - wouldn't be without them!
2) Maxtoch red LED torch.
Water bottle 1.5L + candy bar
