Thread: FLIR Thermal Vision Gear

I think humans have used "technology" since the beginning. a sharpened rock, a spear or a rifle... its all technology.

If technology helps to dispatch the animal in a humane way and quickly, I have no issue.

To me the difference lies in using technology to find the animal, and here I have similar views to R93. If you do the hard yards, learn animal behavior and sign, and find your quarry using skills, then to me that is an ethical hunt. If you use technology such as IR to locate game, I do not consider it ethical.

I guess in a way binocs and scopes help me find animals, so kinda hypocritical depending on how you look at it

Obviously other people have different views, and how you choose to hunt is up to each individual.

The FLIR is really good for gripping poachers
