Thread: Thermal for daytime

@The_bbb if you pop across to the 'Introductions' thread and introduce yourself people seem to be a little friendlier on here.

Most questions get met with people voicing there morals on the subject(sometime very strongly) and you will get helpful answers too. This has been asked before so have a look at this https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....hermals-72529/

I don't have a thermal but if I could justify the cost I would definitely buy one. I have looked through one during a sunny day and many things could be mistaken for an animal as the sun has heated them up, in some cases this is even a problem in the early evening. What I did notice using a thermal on a sunny day is I could see my mates dog as a bright heat signature moving through the bush.
On a early-ish morning hunt on a cloudy day where we had two groups looking at one dense bush face, one with a thermal one without. The thermal crew spotted 4 deer using the thermal and the other saw nothing. Rocks were seen using the thermal and discounted when confirmed using the binoculars. Based on that if you don't get out hunting often it seems like a really good tool to help spot animals.

And it can take a while to learn to 'read' (for want of a better word) the images and understand what you are looking at, especially if the image is cluttered with hot spots .
But they can be very useful during daylight and will definitely help spot animals you wouldn't see without one once you get your head around them.
And rocks don't move....

Thanks for the info... yep not sure if I can justify one either yet, but interesting to hear the replies. Cheers
