  1. The new 007S is much smaller than old one so doesn't effect eye relief as badly & better image. Was in my local shop yesterday & they doing them at £500
  2. What price you seen them at mate? It'd have to be good bit cheaper than other options (not just pard). I've heard very mixed reports, and I'd fear it'd leave you thinking "I knew nv was shitê" when in reality it's just the unit you've chosen that isn't as good as competitor's.
  3. I use pulsr axion xm30s. That will do more than what you'd need mate, pocket size & easy to use, new £1,300ish. You can get a more basic model axion key 30 for £1,100. I've not used, but heard decent things about hik micro Pro 15mm, £950.
  4. Now you're talking! Thermal spotter most basic entry level for hmr distance, is a very worthwhile bit of kit. You just see so much more. Out last night, not a drop of light, I could see it all. Was out after fox but doesn't mean I can't enjoy watching the deer picking in hedgerows, little creatures scampering about through leaves, all without the foggiest I'm there. Pure animal voyeur!!
  5. I missed one like that tonight ? just popped up out of nowhere. And I'm not one to blame kit but was first time using quads & I just couldn't get to grips with them, annoying af
  6. I sold my icotec to Phil. I'll tell you for why - it's a pain in arsê to carry. Too big for a pocket, no sling to put over shoulder (even if you could). I think you do most of your hunting on foot SD & I remember you comment about not liking the stand & wait type shooting, which is the forté of a caller. No denying they work & I am actually thinking of getting one again as we've put few highseats up in the wood. But I'm not sure if it'd suit you Bernard. ?
  7. Like you say mate each to own. I love my thermal & nv combo but I'm still selective over what I shoot, for exact reasons you state. I use self control to keep a usable balance. Another thing I like about not using lamp is that it's not only animals that aren't aware your out and abouts. Nosey neighbours don't see nv.
  8. I'm exactly the same Si! Tighter than a nuns shitteř with most things, but a sucker for marketing & % off!!
  9. Google digex white out. Better options I think sausage.
  10. That's exactly it mate. The n470s I use doesn't have any bells & whistles. Just turn it on, Crystal clear nv & that's it. I like simplicity!!
  11. That is the epitome of wankyness though, utter shitê.
  12. I'd suggest the n450s is actually a simpler unit to use (no wifi, no built-in recording ability - less bumf) whilst giving an improvement on picture quality.
  13. Wraith takes 4 aa mate. Stav uses one, sure he can give you decent review.
  14. All ians work mate! I can't write so good stuff!
  15. Posted on behalf of IanM......cos he's thick as mince & shakes like a shiťtinğ dog!!
  16. I changed the call to pheasant distress and cracked on with that. It must of been thirty minutes later when i saw a fox through the hedge to our left mooching about in the horse paddock field. It kept having a stop and listen to the call interested but wary. I watched it for ten minutes then changed call to field mouse distress. It d to be very interested but something was holding it back. I think it was the same fox as we had seen earlier. I kept watching it through the hedge with the scope and laser switched on waiting for it to move into a gap where i could get a shot at it. It took anothe
  17. I wasn't best pleased and got down off the Jimny to go and talk to the intruder. Turns out he lives next door to the farm a little way down the lane and had heard the the caller and thought something was in distress. I told him what we where doing and also if he ever hears any such strange noises again to ignore it as it will be us foxing. At this point he went back home. My mate said i doubt it will be back tonight now but i thought it would be worth giving it another go.
  18. I kept following it through the thermal and the scope and laser where already switched on. Just then my mate drew my attention to someone coming towards us from our right with a torch flashing about everywhere. I ignored it and concentrated on the fox which was now in clear view through a good size gap in the hedge but it was sat directly in front of some sheep. I was waiting for it to move to the right so that i could get a shot at it. Minutes later it did just that but before i could get my shot off the owner of the torch turned up at our side enquiring what the noise was and shining the tor
  19. The foxpro was placed directly in front of us a good fifty yards away which is where i wanted any foxes to make for. I selected vixen in heat and started the call off. About ten minutes in i spotted a fox on the track behind and to the left of us. I was just getting ready to move position on the Jimny when it made off into the field behind us going to our right. I thought it was going to move in a circle round us towards the caller which is exactly what it did do. It actually carried on past the caller and went through a ditch to end up in the field to our left that was taped off for the horse
  20. True to his word he was at my house in twenty minutes so i walked out to meet him. Two minutes later we where at the farm, i had already text him to say i would be on there tonight and he had acknowledged the text. This farm is actually two farms that are back to back and i have never shot the side that i would be on tonight in the thirty years i have been going there. I usually come from the other farm and park in the middle of the fields next to a tidal gutter, but tonight i thought i would try where he had actually seen them. The mainstay business of these farms is horses livery and i had t
  21. Well after a dose of the Chinese lurgy (although not ill with it) i was more than keen to get back out doing the things i like. Anyhow whilst waiting in the car for my son to come out from an hospital appointment tonight i had a call from a local farmer. He told me his brother had seen three foxes this morning near to where they store the haylage bales. This farm is two hundred and fifty yards as the crow flies from my house and as i keep poultry i like to keep the foxes numbers down. SO when i got home i put the thermals battery on charge to top it up and got the rest of my gear together for
  22. That's why I don't think pard008 will suit you mate. Better with one button that twist to scroll through options & push it to select.
