    I used one in the bush on Stewart Island and had no trouble identifying the profile of a whitetail at around 60m looking through some pretty dense scrub in daylight
    Yukon and Pengy like this.
    Hunting is relaxing just like Yoga except I get to kill something.
    If it Flies it dies and if it hops it drops.

    One day I hope to experience that for myself! It won't be this year though. Did you get anything?

    Go there every year for a week usually average two per trip.
    I got the one I picked up in the thermals but took several attempts to pick him up in the scope.
    Without the thermals I would have walked past it.

    We'll have to sell you into a thermal scope! I've experience that problem myself many times, especially rabbiting in tussock and long grass. I could see the buggers clearly through the thermal, but they were invisible through my scope. Very frustrating. Another time I was invited for a night hunt on a private forestry block, and I picked up a young stag lying up in some dense undergrowth below me at around 100m. I used a Pulsar Forward attachment on my scope, but when I brought it up to take a shot, all I could see was tall grasses and twigs around 10 m from where I was standing, I had to climb a pile of forestry waste branches and twigs to take the shot, which was pretty noisy, and a bit wobbly underfoot. The stag must have felt safe enough to stay put.

    Not that keen on targeting animals with thermals. I much prefer locating then stalking old school way.
    I think of thermals as a tool a bit like a dog that helps you locate game.

    I think if/when I can afford a thermal unit I will get a scope with qd mounts so I can have the best of both worlds

    To add some perspective to this debate, I was shown something last week which was really disturbing.

    A client popped around to grab a new power lead, he uses a Pulsar Quantum and a Pulsar Apex for shooting deer on various farms, and selling the meat. He bought the gear last November, and has using it hard-out, shooting over 200 deer. But during our chat, he showed me a PDF map of DOC's planned 1080 campaign. The map was split into red = definate, blue = maybe, yellow = not at all. The red was just about everywhere. I mainly looked at my own area, and it started at the top of the Kahurangi, and spread right down to include Fiordland. He told me that he had access to this map because he is licensed to sell venison for human consumption.

    So here we are, debating the rights and wrongs of a tiny minority, when our Department of Conservation are planning to wipe-out deer en masse, and in the process, kill thousands of protected birds. It's bloody shocking.

    If there is a map then you can get your hands on through the freedom of information act.
    DOC is a government office and if it's printed by them then they can't deny giving it to you

    Yellow denotes National Park !

    Yes, a little confusing at first glance.
