Thread: Thermal monocular - thinking about buying one

My point is if I shoot something just before sunset and 3/4 hour later when using a headlamp to recover it, the animal jumps up wounded I am technically not legally allowed to shoot it to finish the job, with the wording as it is.

Although I really can't see how using a hand held thermal as a spotting device during the hours of daylight (which would be BETWEEN half hour BEFORE sunrise and half hour AFTER sunset as stated by the DOC website) is any different to using a spotting scope or binoculars. It really doesn't make sense to me.
