Someone mentioned sticky-ing a guide for how new hunters and visitors can hunt in New Zealand, so I figured I’d make a start on one. I see this as useful mainly to new hunters who don’t have...

Get one with a RF you won’t regret it ,judging distance is hard in the thermal. Better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it
