Thermal scopes.

Any one who has not yet used thermal scopes for all types of shooting, all I can say it is a real game changer in a big way.
You must try both white hot and black hot settings for best results depending on your type of quarry.
I will also advise you to nuke it yourself rather than set them on auto nuke as this can at times ruin your photo or video when you least expect it.

I use a Thermal Pulsar rifle mounted scope and as you said..Absolutely,devastatingly Effective Period!
A few months ago at night on one of my permissions,farmer requested me to thin the rabbits down a little.
Well I got 80 - 90 all taken with my trusty 25 Fac Rapid!
I could have shot a lot more,but as it was in a sensitive area,i was under strict instruction..not to leave any lying about to be found by antis...

Oh and forgot to mention have had a hundred Foxes  Last year in abouts 7 months.
This years total stands at 44 and counting...
Unfortunately our friends of the travelling community have put a stop to shooting at night for the foreseable future!
They have been trying to break into the fields and farmers put all sorts of barriers up and effectively put a stop to my night time activities...lol

Nice to hear you are enjoying the world of thermal.
Keep us updated with any video footage you take in time with yours while out in the field.

To be honest i haven't fully used all the functions it has..I'm not into filming but what the most amazing function i discovered was motion detection!!
That just blew me away as i tested it and whilst playing about,setting it to small size as i was watching with thermal via WiFi could send the live happenings sent to my iPhone and it beeped and made me aware some thing was in approaching in my arc of fire in line with a safe backstop.
It was a hedgehog scuttling about at 60 yds.because i tend to spend a good few hours just parked up in ambush points, it has alerted me to several Foxes,which were neatly accounted for..

That sounds a good bit of kit you have there.
