Im wondering-am I barking up the wrong tree with nv and should I be looking at a thermal monocular to find them? Would something like a leuold lot be the go for this?
Was also wondering id a pulsar n455 may be better with 4.5 as base mag but with larger lens should give better field of view.
thanks in advance

2.5 base is high enough
I am using a 455 at moment and it not good on Monkey's up a tree
Thermal for locating a definite yes
Then a torch on scope for possums is all you need
