Thread: Thermal gear. Should we have it?

Tweed coat and top hat??????? You have obviously never met me And if showing respect for animals through measuring and trying to define a line in the sand is classified as old school then guilty as charged. But tweed? It would make me itchy. Well thought out comments though mate. Actually I think there has been a change in the way some people view game animals since they were re classified legally as a pest. I have seen the same thing in Aussy. When there are plenty about then a few people who just love killing stuff will always come out of the woodwork. I agree that if the goal is simply filling the freezer then the person might apply a different set of morals and use whatever means necessary there, compared to if it is sport and recreation. I think that as with everything in life there will always be people who like to cut as many corners as possible and focus purely on the result rather than including the journey as well. It is definitely a slippery slope when it comes to technology and everyone has their own 'sweet spot' somewhere between thermal gear and a spear. I think as we grow and develop as hunters that sweet spot might change for a variety of reasons too and that is OK. Each to their own as they say.
