infra red filters

[stubby 175]

using a IR filter on your lamp, you wont see anything, the fox wont see anything unless your going to use it along side a dedicated nightvision scope or mono

i have a pair of NV bino`s which i use for spotting. i use an IR laser instead of the lamp with the ir filter. the laser is about marker pen size and weighs nothing. much easier then a lamp and battery.

 

spot with the NV first then when your ready light it up and let rip.

 

havent used it on fox`s but took many lamp shy rabbits.

Good bit of kit mate, you have got the right equipment to get up close to the quarry.

the IR torch working with the NV monocular will pick up the charlies eyes,an IR filter alone, will set you back about £ _£100

has anyone used infra red lenses with night vision for lamping foxes with lurchers?i normally just use a lamp and red filter but most of the foxes in my area are baulked from the gun club lads hammering them with rifles,so the foxes just look at me from a mile out and ignore the call as soon as they see the light!i thought the infra red might help get the fox into lurcher range before lighting him up. has anyone tried it out? some info would be great,cheers.

 

"Depth of view" will be important. Most NV needs to focus to see at certain ranges, to use NV as a spotter you'll be looking at different ranges scanning around, constantly refocusing will be a pain in the hole. So, something with 3x or 3x magnification is plenty IMO.

 

"Field of view" will also benefit from lower magnification, so you can see more through your screen/lens.

 

You can get IR filter material (IR pass through I think is it's correct name) from Ebay or AlanaEcology.

 

You might also consider that the local foxes are just as much "call shy" as lamp shy
