Thread: Thermal for daytime

Can’t be arsed with P endorsement crap. I periodically use handheld thermal during daytime. They are surprisingly effective in the bush which is my main hunting for goats on DOC estate. And before anyone nuts off, handheld daylight use is ok. Hot day in open/broken country not so much. You get to recognise heat signature of rocks etc with practice. Anyhow, using thermal/NV is a very useful tool. The ethics of using for recreational? hunting is up to the individual. For me it’s oftentimes a hunter hours/numbers game.

Think saw that thermal being used in an Aussie pest eradication contractor vid hooked up to an Ipad in the Truck. Used in conjunction with a Lightforce Spottie. Great set up. Must get link off Instagram.
