I believe hunting once you have the field craft is best kept simple.we all made mistakes while learning,but now those mistakes and how to rectify them has become the basis of our field craft,so making the odd mistake is not a necessarily a bad thing as long as we learn from it and do not pass the blame onto i.e the weather,the equipment or any other such thing ,as the knowledge of this we should already have and understand.The important thing is to allow our selfs to learn thus expanding our field craft enabling us to keep it simple.that being said,the way that is simple for one person may not

I prefer all my equipment to be compact and as multi functional as possible.I only ever hunt alone,as then i only have myself to blame if mistakes are made,which i am glad to say is rare.Never use a vehicle except occasionally i have been known to use a bicycle.i look upon the outdoors as natures living larder and only take what i need and do whatever i can to help preserve the rest and above all i am always humane in the dispatching of quarry.i completely understand the need to take large numbers of quarry were one's job is pest control,but believe the quarry should not be wasted.So in a nuts

This is so true.As you can often look over a gate or through a hedge and discover more hunting possibilities,and sometimes new access.

i have been for a night time stroll the last two nights taking advantage of the lack of moon,both strolls proved to be worthwhile as the first night i came across a meadow well populated with rabbits,which i spooked to watch them through the NV run for home thus locating the rough location of their warrens.Then walking the ground i passed through a stand of trees and came across another well populated meadow where i commenced to do the same.A stroll the second night in completely the opposite direction produced a field of plough which was well populated, where i went through the previous proce

Sounds just the thing for you then Mr Wilkes.I prefer all my equipment to be compact and as multi functional as possible.I only ever hunt alone,as then i only have myself to blame if mistakes are made,which i am glad to say is rare.Never use a vehicle except occasionally i have been known to use a bicycle.i look upon the outdoors as natures living larder and only take what i need and do whatever i can to help preserve the rest and above all i am always humane in the dispatching of quarry.i completely understand the need to take large numbers of quarry were one's job is pest control,but believ

Hello, good evening and welcome (the older members like my self will note how David Frost like this welcome is)

I must confess i have not seen one with a screen (are they bulky)so therefore use what i have(D3MK fits nicely in pocket).On the point of eye strain it is important to focus exit pupil and objective lens like you would on some rifle scopes. I have found putting a piece of bicycle inner tube (like a rubber band)over the adjusting bezels helps stop them being adjusted accidentally when returning NV to it's case or your pocket.NV aside, there is no substitute for field craft as it enables you to work without NV.I think night vision should be viewed as a useful addition, not a necessity.I have not

i have two makes of night vision,my preferred one is a Yukon tracker but as that is on the blink(waiting for Thomas Jacks to reply about repair),i used a Dipol D3MK,always take one when working the ground as you can see exactly where to set,so no wasted drops,since night vision became available it has alway's been my way to take it with me,but i do not see it as a substitute for good field craft more an addition to good field craft,i would not solely rely on it because should it stop functioning you can still work the ground if you have the field craft or knowing ( as my grandfather used to sa

Just got back from a stroll with the night vision looking at the ground in this area where i now live.Some open ground warrens,but mostly hedgerow warrens as you would expect in this type of country.Because this new moon is a daytime rising and setting moon it was obviously pitch black so they where feeding well out,so had to spook them to get rough locations of warrens.I will take some daytime strolls to confirm the warren locations and access points to the ground.I will take further night time strolls up to probably next Tuesday to establish their feeding pattern being careful not to spook t
