SheepChaser 8,089 Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 Deffo a game changer, much easier for getting runs and an invaluable tool for fence hopping, but really can’t see why your bother with it for rabbits, that always seems a bit desperate but each to their own. To be fair I do use it for ratting a fair bit. Quote Link to post

SheepChaser 8,089 Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 It’s mad really, went out ‘lamping’ with the neighbour on their bit a week ago, him driving the buggy and shooting and me spotting with the thermal and lamping. Drove 1000 acres and a bit more, only time the lamp was on was to check something out like the head on a nice buck. Never shot anything as the lad is a proper game manager not a midnight cowboy, but it’s mad driving into a field in darkness “right there are three roe up the top of the field, buck and two does..... 4 hares over there and a pig snuffling about under that hedge”, nothing can hide. Combining that with an nv scope and a good man with a rifle and things are pretty screwed, especially if you’re in an off road buggy. 1 Quote Link to post
jigsaw 11,899 Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 i know the travellers are all equipped with the thermal yokes,drive to a gate ,have a gawk,if theres one there ,in they go ,if not off they go ..ive been told theyve gone from 2 to 3 runs a day to anything up to half a dozen..no more walking for hours to get one run ,its also been said it will be the demise of the hare as nothing is now safe ,they cant hide anymore ,the thermal picks them all out ...they cover far more ground now since they have them and miss nothing in a field when searching.... 2 Quote Link to post
