Thermal scopes are very nice, but in your case a predator call and a spotlight will serve well until they get smart. Use lightweight varmint bullets in a .223 or 22-250 to drop them on the spot.

It’s cheaper than going out to a restaurant; try one and let us know!
The Ermox rotary action double shotgun is very interesting as well.

This was too good of a deal and I like .410s, though.[emoji848][emoji16]

It has a good pattern with 2.5” #8s on a red ant mound at 20 yards….

I recently got a Topper .410 barrel for a good price because it was drilled and tapped crooked. A lot.

Used up the last of my Re22 to load some 140 gr JSP for my 7x57 Mauser. I ended up with 25 rounds and a small amount of powder which I lit and watched it burn.

Check the chamber for rust. Clean it out well.
Not uncommon on old barn guns.

It seems like other than 30-30 and 45-70, brass for lever action cartridges is kind of rare nowadays. All the WCF, .32 Special, .35 Rem, the list goes on.

From 500 to 3300 fps and everything in between.
Today I plinked with .218 Bee cast at 1600 fps and .218 Bee jacketed at 2700 fps.

In the past I’ve used .222, .223, and 22-250 and bigger calibers - and placement is important to prevent meat damage with high velocity jacketed bullets.
This one with the .218 was with a cast flat...

Speaking of muzzleloader for turkey, I can tell you for certain that a .490” rb will deliver a dinner!
