[ns200 night vision home made post working]

some people would have seen and helped me on here already so thank you. I have made my own version of this great camera it is not quite so tidy as the wiring is not my fault ta but it works just as well and is able to do a few things the ns200 cant. I am able to now get out to 200+ meters day or night I know the ns200 can do this and with out taking the scope off I am able to swing it to the side and carry on using the scope as normal the camera is mounted in such away that when in use it becomes a head rest and the screen is just far enough away that you can view it like you would a scope and all this was done for under £160 including the lamp batteries and ir filter. I know people including me asked what do you need and I also asked how do you set this all up so here is a list of the things I used including the bracket I made.

 

1 cctv camera best one micromark are the best ones I have come across or a car reversing camera these are a little bit harder to focus with the lens you need to by.

 

2 a focusing lens on mine I have a 9-22mm Zoom CCTV Video Security IRIS Camera Lens

(260988582354) from china took 2 weeks to turn up

 

3 monitor I have used a 3 1/2 inch this has a function on it that allows you to turn the pic around and mirror or follow your camera very useful also has a cable to all recording or a second monitor does not have sound though so if you wanted sound you would have to make sure it was on the recording equipment

 

4 braket is made of a few different items so I have done a drwing of how I made mine it is below this post

 

5 if you are using the reversing camera you will need a 35 mm film case see drawing below if you are using cctv see drawing below

 

6 wire it up then adjust your bracket to until you get a clear pic the best way to do this is to turn the mag down on the scope and on the camera and slide it forward until you get a cross hair mine came in to focus about a inch and half away make sure the cam is pointing straight down the scope a little off to one side will give you a image but you will not be able to focus the pic or the cross hair together as one will be a slight blur and you will not get the range either. some of you will need to cover your faces fox for sure as the screen is quite bright and lights you you.

[rabbit closed season]

I normally shot or hunt rabbits in the winter and take a few in the summer for ferret food and the pot but last autumn the numbers just dropped loads in the summer time and I did not shoot that many then they where gone took until janurary before they started turning up again done a bit of ferreting and pretty much every warren had dead rabbits in. I can not remember what the disease is called but it will kill a rabbit with in 3 days the only thing it does not kill is the young ones as there emuin system is not developed enough for this disease to attach it but they then become emuin to this disease I know it was introduced into Australia some time back and within a few months it had killed over 8000000 rabbits you can find out about it on the web it been here for a few years now but only seems to pop its head up when it is hot this may answer why some of you are not seeing any rabbits.

[shotgun for deer]

job is going well went out 2 muntjac down and 1 cub fox all in 3 1/2 hours should of been 3 muntjac but caught me off guard as I was just getting into place used 12g sg so a bit bigger then the aaa head shot muntjac 45 to 50 yards dropped on the spot and body shot the fox around 30 yards dropped on the spot and the muntjac are still edible. I have put a red dot scope on the shotgun seems to work a little better for me. will be back out tomorrow night and early saturday morning so should be able to get a few more before the week is out.

yes your right the police or rspca would be the ones that take it to court but as long as i am within the law they would not be able to win this is why I spoke to defra as we all know there are laws that say one thing then others laws that contradict the other and why these laws are there they can be used the amount of damage in this garden is substantial and my signed consent form would prove that the deer have been on that land for a lot longer then I have, I have looked at the grounds and there is a natural back stop and an area where they feed so I dont need to bait any how but I could put a bird feeder in its place as she has geese. so the management plan would work around this. The rspca and other charities use the law to try and prosecute us why can we not use it to do our job. take this case a man is stopped for drink driving he is as pissed as a fart the law says he is guilty of drink driving (NO) not until he has been processed, The law states how this is to be done and at what stages they are to be done in, in court the man was found not guilty although they had on him not being able to stand or walk on tape as the law was not followed in the processing part. the point is if there is a law that lets you do some thing regardless of how many other laws there are that say you cannot you can this is why the police can arrested you for standing on a street for more then 2min in one place but they wont take it to court as there are to many other laws that would allow you to be there., so you would be released without charge. bit off topic but hay ho. I dont think it would be in the rspca interest to prosecute either as this would make headlines and as the law is not clear cut would allow everyone that has a problem with deer know they can be shot with a 12g with AAA and the use of food is legal in the right circumstances. just my opinion. I can see the pitfalls in this every where which is why I asked the question in the first place I love a good debate to.

That person is wrong . Muntjack are called a pest by forresters. BUT are classed as Deer in Law and are covered by the Deer Act. If you are baiting then your claim of Damage is rocky to say the least as you are attracting them to your land.

Even if it is for a safer shot .

 

Remember the law in the UK is Black or white . If you are not obeying the law you are breacking the law . Only politicians and Very rich folk are allowed to bend the law.

Please read the first few post as you will see I am quite clearly not baiting as i have not shot or even put food down on any ground the deer are already there but to make sure the deer are in a safe spot to be shot I would be-able within the law to put food down on that land to bring them in to a position for a safe and human kill and in the eyes of the law this would be no difference to having a deer lawn in a wood. Shooting deer around a pheasant feeder is legal as long as you are using the feeder for feeding your birds and not using it to purposely attract deer that would not normally be there. I am sorry but the person I spoke to seemed to know the law inside out and as they work directly or are part of defra I find it hard that they would be wrong as they are the people that write or at least enforce the law. the person said they are covered by the deer act but are considered a pest and are none native to this country. any damage they causes can be minimal but if it is believed they are going to cause more and are freely walking on your land then you have the right to shoot them with a 12g of no less then a AAA. other then for the reasons I have already mentioned.

[shotgun for deer]

Ok I will post the act on later but baiting for sport would be attracting deer to a area where they are not present by using things such as smelly things such as aniseed oil and putting feed out to keep them coming back another eg real case although done by poachers was jam sandwichs put by the side of roads when cars came along they would scare the deer into the roAd then take the deer this is classed as baiting although the poaching one is extreme and breaks more rhen one law. Munjac according to this person are classed as a pest and are not indigenous so if they are on your land and damage has been caused once even to a plant then it is safe to assume if on your land again they will cause more damage giving you the right to kill it with said calibre as it has already been said the land will not be passed for a legal rifle I would be in my right to shoot the deer how ever if the land has been passed for a legal calibre and you own one you would not be aloud to shoot it with a shotgun unless you where out in the field with it for what ever reason and it was ausing damage at that time. I hope this makes sense

[shotgun for deer]

Like I said I will be using ballistic tip with back stop but I have spoken with natural England/defra as I still wanted to know the answer to. The question and the answer is anyone that has permission in writing can shoot deer in season with a 12 gauge with a min of aaa shot if it I'd believed they are going too or have caused damage be it a field or a garden they consider a coppies of trees to be any thing more then one and damage can be anything such as a hedge plants, baiting is illegal if this is done for sport but used in a management plan is not and is seen as no different to a deer lawn in a wood or forest so now we all know the law o one other thing you still need to have deer on your certificate before you. Shoot one with. What ever gun you choice

[shotgun for deer]

i will give this ago then but i would like to know if anyone can give me the answers to what i was asking in the first place just so i know for the future many thanks all

[shotgun for deer]

am i right in peanuts are a good food source for muntjac

[shotgun for deer]

got know mates that shoot with open ticket and there is know way the fao would say it clear to shoot a 223 I am unsure they would clear it for a .22. high site with straw sounds like a safe bet just been looking at different ammo the ballistic tips look good but the silver ones look better i doubt i will be shooting them more then 50 yards out how do ballistic tips work on ricochet if they miss or pass threw the animal.

[shotgun for deer]

what about balistic tips ? limeted chance if any of pass through to upper rib cage from a downwards shot from a high seat !

some meat damage , so what its pest control , they need gone and loin and haunches will still be fine ?

you could as suggested put up feed stations with bales of wet straw as back stops to absorb any fragments that might pass through .

other then trapping which i do not think is legal that sounds like the best thing i have read so far I did not think of ballistic tips and i must say i have never used them how do they work compared expanding ammo which i do know how it works. not to worried about meat damage just need to get the job done.

[shotgun for deer]

do you have a licence to trap them then and relocate them is the wood fenced or open sorry but i whave to ask and will not break the law for any one

[shotgun for deer]

Put it this way, Do You think You could defend yourself in court for your actions ?

 

You would be sailing close to the wind with the Deer Act, Wildlife Act or would you keep your FAC and SGC if you were charged under Animal cruelty for wounded Deer.

 

If it was me, I would not risk my FAC for another persons garden plants. And from your questions you proberbly feel the same, Drives me Mad when i shoot a Muntjack to find shot gun pellets ot a .22RF bullets in them

 

i HAVE FOUND PELLETS FROM A SHOTGUN IN A RED STAGE I WOULD SAY ABOUT A NUMBER 5 REALLY PISSES ME OFF TO. YOU RIGHT I DO NOT WISH TO RISK MY FAC OR SGC FOR SOME GARDEN PLANTS BUT I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO DO THE JOB AND IN DOING THIS JOB IT WILL LEAD TO A LOT MORE LAND AS OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IF THIS JOB CANNOT BE DONE WITHIN THE LAW THEN I WILL NOT DO IT BUT THERE MUST BE AWAY OF CONTROLLING THEM IN AREAS THAT ARE NOT SAFE TO USE A FA i WOULS SAY IN MY AREA OF ABOUT 1/2 SQUARE MILE i HAVE SEEN SOME WHERE AROUND 20 MUNTJAC ON A REGULAR BASES. sO I WOULD SAY THERE ARE PROBABLY A FEW MORE ON TOP OF THAT WE FIND A COUPLE OF DEAD MUNTJAC ON THE ROAD EVERY WEEK ON A 1 MILE STRETCH.

I could make you a cage and remove them for you if this will help pm me

ALWAYS BELIEVED TRAPPING DEER TO BE ILLEGAL UNLESS UNDER LICENCE AND RELEASING THEM IS AGAINST THE LAW UNLESS IN AN ENCLOSED AREA AND RELEASED MUST BE WITHIN 1 MILE OF CAPTURE WHICH WOULD BE NO GOOD SO IT WOULD NEED SHOOTING ON SITE AND I BELIEVE THERE IS A LAW THAT SAY YOU CAN NOT TRAP TO KILL BUT I ONLY HERE THIS BIT NOT READ IT.

[shotgun for deer]

AAA ARE A LEGAL ROUND FOR DEER ALONG WITH A SLUG BUT THAT IS A FAC ROUND AAA ARE NOT IF I HAVE READ THE LAW RIGHT I WOULD BE FINE IN COURT IF I WAS TO WOUND A MUNTJAC BUT WHAT I AM NOT SURE ABOUT IF THE LAW COVERS ME TO SHOOT A MUNTJAC UNDER THE CONDITIONS I HAVE PUT UP ABOVE I THINK I AM BUT NOT A 100% i AM A GOOD SHOT AND HAVE KNOW PROBLEMS IN PLACING A SHOT IN HE RIGHT PLACE FOR A CLEAN KILL THE PROBLEM IS WITH A BULLET WHEN IT COMES OUT THE OTHER SIDE.

[shotgun for deer]

I COULD IN THE GARDEN BUT I WOULD NEED A FREE STANDING ONE AND I DONT KNOW IF A THREE METER HIGH SEAT WOULD BE ENOUGH IN ELIMINATING THE DANGERS OF THE BULLET TRAVELLING AFTER STRIKING THE ANIMAL

I have been asked to shot some muntjac in a large garden and on a small holding, garden is about 15 acres and small holding is about 5 acres the surrounding areas belong to a game estate which will not allow anyone to shoot on it and will not control any of the vermin in and around this area as they do not shoot this part they do not feel it is safe to do so with a rifle I have looked around this area and can see there point as there are lots of people with live stock horses and lots of out building one mistake would mean damage of some sort. The only real choice I have is to use AAA in my 12g I have read the different laws with regards to this but can not work out if I am allowed to shot them or not as I own a 270 which would not be safe, the garden I dont think I would have a problem with as they have damaged plants trees and fencing and the lady has given up in trying to do anything with it as the deer just damage it the next day but I am still not sure as this is not a commercial set up although she does have some sheep and geese and the law was brought in to help farmers and thatchers that did not have a firearm to hand. The small holding may be a bit different as the damage they are causing to the tree and vegetation does not affect her directly but they are on her ground and although the stock fences does seem to get damaged quite a bit it is not all down to the sheep as the field next to her has horses which have been found tramping it down and the odd sheep has also been found doing a bit of damage to. I dont no if this makes a difference the fences are hawthorn hedges which over time have been pushed aside to make opening by the muntjac and now the roe which some of the live stock are now using to get into other fields if the horses come along and push it down. There is no real way of putting any real strong fencing up as it is all marsh even in the drought before the rain came there was 3, 5 inches of water setting in places. the sheep are not standing in water as there is a little higher ground. any help in what laws I can use to do this job would be much appreciated

what's the range and how does it do with high powered rifles

[first night with the cam night vision]

Hi I am after just a little more help please I have a set up which I can focus the cam and get a good pic out to hundred yards at night but I lose the cross hairs I focus the cross hairs and loss the pic it is so close but have I done some thing wrong in my set up please help some one. the cam is a car reverse thing I have taken out the lens and replaced it with a manual zoom lens 4 to 22 times my scope is a 4x12 mag but every thing else is fixed focus I really do get a good pic but no cross or cross and not a very good pic the cam is housed in a dark tube no light I have tried holding the cam up tight to the scope to about a inch inch and half away. help

...............This is a problem I am having some scopes I have work better than others .At the moment I got an ok picture with a blury cross hair a blend of the two setting you discribe.I will try to get it better I have not messed with my object lense on the scope yet .The picture in the scope and the blury cross hair are still as good as a gen1 night scope or better with plenty of ir light.I focus my camera to about one and a half feet then I put it about two inches from the object lense .the scopes with thick crosshairs and low magnification seem the best so far.I also take a lot or the colour of the monitor screen there is a setting hue and saturation?????.I am not saying this is how to do it ,it is what i have done so far .

Well I am sorted now thanks to every one that helped I can get a good clear pic with clear cross hairs out to about 150 meters shot a rabbit at round 60 meters straight between the eyes. I will tell you what the probs I had as this may help some other to. Focusing prob was due to the camera not being directly down the scope although i had a good pic of either the quarry or the cross it was a reflective image from inside the tube and it only has to be slightly off centre for this to happen, If your pic looks clearer in some parts of the screen then it is prob what I have just said. the other problem I had was getting the camera the right distance from the scope to close meant I could not use the full zoom properly causing the zoom function not to operate fully, I found that once I had made my new bracket zoom the scope out to it lowest setting zoom the camera in to max then slide the camera along until the image became clear then fixed it off mine is about 2 inches. The other problem with distance was the lamp although my lamp has a 400 meter beam and is adjustable at 100 meters I was losing the pic it was getting darker the beam could not go any higher it turned out it needed to come lower so adjusted it to a 200 meter beam at 150 meters I can still see the cement lines with a bit of detail in it. so I am very happy just got to work out now how to judge distance I am taking a low level flash light with me at the mo so once I have found the quarry I flick it on and get a glimpse then I no what it looks like on the screen at that distance if this does not work I may just by a cheap range finder.

When your putting the gun away in its case you say it's a tight fit are you letting the barrel cool completely cold sounds like the padding in the gun case could be holding the barrel left or right which then cools in this position common fault with free floating barrels and thick sponge cases

fair point never considered that. On a down not thought once the gun starts to warm up would it not start to change the impact point as it would have cooled under stress and once warm over a few shoots start easing back. The thing i find interesting is all theses faults it could be I hope we get to know the problem once found.
