Half the fun's working in the dark, but how good's your outfit and is it hands free?. You could possibly scan the field first, but if the light you look at is bright you could spoil your own dark adjusted sight. Possibly however it could be of use. I've never seen one far less used one.

i use a night owl explorer g2, handy bit of kit and very compact,i just check the ground over before i drop the net so i,m not wasting time setting a net for nothing

Bloke i do a bit with had a monocal and had some fun with that so he bought the bigger set up .And he would use it as i drove round and say put the light on NOW and he could fire right away as he knew where the prey was it sure helped fill the bag

when i had a lurcher i used a yukon exelon gen1+ monocular while lamping,i thought it was very handy.

the night vision i got is a bushnell stealth gen 2. i thourght it would be handy just scan fields before dropping nets as there is not a lot of rabbits around my area!

hey bullet

 

does that mean the grand old long netters would hate the idea of quickset long nets or would they think this is easier and quicker way to catch dinner??!! im all for keeping the old traditional methods!! but sometimes when you need a rabbit for the pot you just do the easiest method!!

 

i have not even used my nite vision with the longnet, only for the research before i go out netting so i can see which way the rabbits naturally run at night.

like will cox i use mine to have a look about days, weeks before dropping the nets.

 

not took it with me netting..got enough tackle to carry..so leave the night vision at home.

 

i have a yukon ranger mk 2...excellent tool.can see rabbits very easy at over 100 yards..

it was just a statement, good luck on using it mate, but then again like you say there's not much game about now
