Thread: A question on your shooting using nv techniques

I use thermal for night pest destruction from rats up to deer.
I have an old H7 Lenser headlamp that I colored the lense with a red permanent marker. On its lowest setting it gives just enough light to see well enough to walk and doesnt disturb animals.
I mainly walk the properties, on bigger properties I sometimes use the quad/Suzuki Vitara ( 2 door) to get to different areas.
I use a hand held thermal to spot likely targets, try and ID them positively with the Pulsar rifle scope and stalk in to a max range of 100m.
I also have a thermal camera which I can plug into my Tablet. The camera can be tripod mounted, mounted on the quad or I have a swivel mount on the Vitara's roof rack. Only use it for staking out areas when the weather is crap or scouting properties on the first visit...

The thermal scope will go on one of 3 rifles.. T1x in .22, T1x in 17HMR or a T3x in 243 depending on the target species.. Have taken deer with all three calibres. Normally wont shoot anything large thats more than 100m away.... Culling deer off Horse farms its easy to allow the mind to be tricked into seeing a deer when its a horse at anything over 200m....I treat every deer sized animal as though its a horse until I get close enough to positively ID it.
