It always gets me that these guys say hunting with a thermal is cheating then they promptly go out with a rifle and scope to hunt. Both are simply advances in hunting technology furthering our...

1justin have you actually looked at a deer through a thermal imager? I have an XQ50, and I can assure you that the images I have seen are not 'basic shapes'. I recently watched a hind grazing her...

Not that keen on targeting animals with thermals. I much prefer locating then stalking old school way. I think of thermals as a tool a bit like a dog that helps you locate game.

+1 I used a Yukon device a couple of years ago at a forum hunt and was amazed at what it picked up. Could clearly see geese in the river bed a fair distance away and they were easily identifiable.

Does anyone know of any person who was charged with a spotlighting offence when they GENUINELY weren't. I think we are reacting to a problem that doesn't exist. If your genuinely not night hunting...

Why does one assume these are used at night? I have used handheld thermal pretty extensively in day and night on public and private land legally in both cases. Where they excell is in the morning...

I used one in the bush on Stewart Island and had no trouble identifying the profile of a whitetail at around 60m looking through some pretty dense scrub in daylight

I really don't see your point.... I've spotlighted deer with a shitty headlight so the definition of "spotlight" could be pretty vague. As long as the bolts out there is no difference to walking...

The hours of the day at which you can legally shoot animals on doc land are clearly established. If you shoot outside those hours you are breaking the rules. Using a thermal or not.
