Thread: Thermals. Whats the point of no return.

I have used one......and thought it was great. Spotted a deer at night from the hut that I wouldn't have seen before..But still it didn't matter as you can't shoot it anyway!! However, the reason I don't see the point is this.........

Say you buy a model that costs $5000. Well plenty of places charge you $100 to shoot a deer on their farm. So therefore taking the money you would have spent on a Thermal device you could go and shoot 50 deer!!! That's a hell of a lot of animals and venison!! And if you spent the $5000 on the thermal you would have to shoot a hell of a lot more than 50 deer to make it viable. Plus, how many of those deer that you have shot that you had located with a thermal would you have been able to pick up with Bino's anyway???
