That is unfortunate JLF.

While these things are interesting and useful, we hunted successfully without them for thousands of years. My first hunt with night gear was just a few months ago. While I've become a little obsessed about experimenting with these new bits of technology, they represent a departure from the way I prefer to live. I don't like to own too much 'stuff', and I value simplicity and self-reliance. I doubt that my greatest hunting memories will involve infra-red technology. Using a range-finder and a hi-tech scope to make a perfect shot at midnight is nothing compared to shooting a pig with a bow made from a branch and an arrow formed from a bracken stem. It would take a lot to make me feel more elated than the time I snared my first rabbit.

I guess you are probably permitted to use game cameras in Argentina. I've enjoyed using these for a long time. The images recorded on my camera have been quite a revelation. The camera is an indirect night-vision hunting tool and a relatively inexpensive bit of technology that helps to make a hunter's life interesting.
