    I've found, through my limited experience, that every few minutes you need to put the binos down and look over your shoulder. If there is nothing behind you pick up the binos and continue to glass. This gives your eyes a bit of a break from the binos but more importantly when you are glassing the neighbours dear you can see if your Mrs is sneaking up behind you!

    No. I admit to being very scared of drinking Gaykato.
    It is common knowledge it's like crack.
    but after 1 hit you don't get addicted and broke you turn gay!

    It's on the Internet so must be true😆

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Has anyone tried the Bushnell Trophy XLT 8x32 Binoculars? Was looking at getting some. Most reviews are quite good. Your thoughts?
    Thanks

    Movement is a key thing especially when looking for tahr and chamois. Deer stand out like dogs balls. They have a much more obvious silhouette and the colour is very obvious usually. Tahr and chamois blend in extremely well, first time you go tahr hunting you will probably see 100 Rock tahr. I was looking at one on the weekend at about 500m he was sitting down, didn't move a muscle for about 20mins then all of a sudden the rock stood up.... Usually if you are 2nd guessing whether it is an animal or rock it's probably a rock...

    Good binos certainly help, not necessarily with spotting more animals but you can look for a hell of a lot longer as they don't strain the eyes. Good binos might be the difference between seeing 20 tahr instead of 15 so if you are in a shitty spot that holds fark all animals you might see none with crap binos but pick up one or two with high end binos which equals a feed!
