Thread: A question on your shooting using nv techniques

I've been using NV for a couple of weeks now, bought a nv007 primarily to try and get a pig problem under control,
So far I'm finding that I have 2 or 3 spots with a good overlook onto the paddocks where pigs are causing the most damage, generally where there is a large fence post to use as a rest when scanning or shooting, I imagine this would only go so far In a hunting situation rather than pest control, I'd likely be more mobile If I had a handheld thermal/Night vision unit,

when walking between spots I've just been walking slowly in the dark, I know my area well enough that I don't have any problems navigating without a torch as long as I can see the sky I do always bring a torch with me though just in case,

A thermal hand held would certainly make things easier and probably change my method quite a bit but with the cost of a thermal unit it'll take a heck of a lot of dead pigs to justify, so far I'm up to 10 pigs over about 3 hours of hunting an hour or so for 3 nights, pigs have gotten a bit too easy to spook now so might give it a rest for a few days and switch to possums.
