[QUOTE="Buffalobwana, post: 2668140, member: 123662"] We set the blind 100 yards from a bait pile. Since he would only come in at night, I used my Pulsar Thermion Pro XP50 on a 308. On the second attempt, when the moon was dark, we discovered a problem with our plan. It wasn’t practical to keep sticking the gun out of the window to see if there was anything at the bait. During a full moon, you could use binoculars. So, I bought a wireless driveway alarm. I put the sensors on a pig trap next to the bait pile. The receiver was in the blind with us. Still needed to see what was there. So, I used a LaRue detachable scope mount. The idea was to use the scope to glass and reattach to gun when ready to shoot. It’s a hassle, but it worked. That mounts “return to zero” claim is true. Great mount. After 4 days of sitting, he finally showed up. The shot was uneventful, nephew got buck fever for the first time, but powered through it! He’s proven to be a very good shot on game out to 300 yards, but this one tested his abilities. Perfect shot and Stag ran 50 yards and piled up in a juniper tree! Almost straight up! [/QUOTE]
