    just finished reading "forgotton years" by Brian Conroy and friends
    reading how many thar they shot AND RECOVERED in a day with choppers back in the 70s it struck me how little some things have changed and just how far other things have.
    a comment was made how some of the long range guys of today set up with thermal gear could wreck havoc in a straight out CULL type shoot.... then I read how these jokers used to SPOTLIGHT deer from choppers....thermal from choppers at night would just about have to be the absolute ultimate weapon of mass destruction for our game herds... they cant run and sure as shit cant hide... using bolt action rifles might slow them down a bit...but not that much,same with mag capacity.
    1080 for possums????? yeah nah shootem out of trees at night,shotgun or .22lr wouldnt matter for search n destroy.
