Thread: Thermalling deer

Guys in Zambia are using them on the crops for pigs.
First conversation I had with the hunter went like this .
F--k off what if its not a pig?
If anyone has been to Africa they would realise that village people walk everywhere including across crops and farmland.
He told me that you cannot mistake the shape for anything other than what it is.
Cool bit of gear but like anything not fool proof nor should it be used on public land at night.
Its no different to spotlighting on private land in my eyes and if I could justify the cost and had private land to hunt on a regular basis I would give it a crack.
Its a lot of money to spend on a set up most hunters would use 3-4 times a year?

What makes you say that? My old flatmate had one and I looked at everything through it and the novelty didn't wear off. Interesting how different materials retained heat (cool looking back at the house and the Windows pumping out the heat) and did you also know that a dogs butt hole is the hottest bit of it??!!!

I'm not sure how people could only use that experience 3-4 times a year

Possible if your over ripe but hole was there at the time magnifying the thermal effect.

A large number of hunters just don't get out that often in a year.
Then chuck in the expense of the unit plus battery life and lugging it around.
Nor does every hunter enjoy sitting and watching for deer style of hunting.
Some people were questioning the ethics of it and I was pushing that in my eyes as long as it is not at night on public land it is not much of a threat to the deer population as you may spot them but you still have to get in for a shot.

Also Dougie are you saying that on a cold winters night we should be cuddling the dogs ass?
