I've been looking into getting a NV spotter, I know people will say go thermal but haven't got £2000+ needed to get a decent one so I'm looking at digital NV spotters and just wanted people's opinions on what's good and what's not. I'll be using predominantly on foxes so need something with decent vision at distances. I've been looking online at the various pulsar models and the digisite 860 RT looks good being able to record and have built in wifi.
Just wondered if anyone has experienced with these or similar models and what they think of them, or are there better options for similar price. Ideally not looking to spend more than £500 on a spotter and an IR for it.
Thanks

That's the think I haven't got a spotter at the moment so I will be using it for that as well...

My mate had the n750a and he said it runs out of juice quickly just using Batteries in it hence the battery pack, my other option would be to fit the battery pack to the rifle stock...

Thanks very much, I will have to see what the thickness of the scope tube is and see if it will fit as there is no free rail to put the rail fitted one on.

Hi folks, I've brought myself a pulsar n750a and have also got the additional pulsar battery pack to fit into the side mount. I have tried my mates armasight ir and it works great with the n750a but as I have the battery pack on the side mount I have nowhere to attach the ir to the scope. Can additional mounts be purchased and fitted to the top of the scope?
Cheers

This is my first gundog. Had lurchers and terriers. Doing part time keeping now so needed a new addition!
9 month old cocker and she's coming on really well. Hopefully She'll be ready for next season.
Whether you get a cocker or a springer my main bit of advice is don't rush them and ensure basics are right I.e. Sit stay, heel and recall. I was told that your better to have a great dog working with you for 8 years than a hinderance for 12 years! You don't want a fast gundog, A fast dog misses birds, you want a steady one with a fast mind and all spaniels have that, not all of them are steady!

How did you get on Jarvis?I'll use it for spotting, I do most my lamping, foxes and rabbits from my truck (.22 & .243) got the 67mm red, green and white leds. I use at the moment a lightforce lamp plugged in truck cigarette lighter. Just wanted to try something with no wires!!
Hi mate, tried it last night. Was impressed! The 3 brightness settings works well. I took my old lightforce lamp to compare and the beam reached just as far. One issue was to get the beam to reach as far it had to be a real tight beam so for flicking around spotting it wasn't as effective, but I've ordered the 50mm lens and that apparently will enable a wider beam at distance. I am impressed with it though and the different colour led's worked well.
If you are local to Northamptonshire your welcome to come and have a look and try.

nice one Jarvis how's them traps doing
The fenns doing their job well mate, catching plenty of squirrels at the moment. Moving the camera traps about at the moment to find some more fox runs then the snares will be out again!

All started Thursday evening, last two blocks of wheat was being combined so bound to be some foxes in it. I was still at work when first block was being done but managed to get up there ready for the last block. I arrived to see they had only just started so had a quick drive round to check feeders and walk birds in. Get the 3 pens done then get a call, where are you one just ran out! Oh bugger I'm on my way, sit for three hours nothing until very last strip and a cub runs out bang it's down. That's 12 been had whilst combining so not bad going. So plan was to get back out Friday night and get the one which was missed.
Get to the shoot at 10:00 lovely cloudy night with a light breeze. First one I saw was about 150 yards away. I squeaked it into about 50 yards, got the rifle onto it, it walked to the hedge and stopped, would have been a perfect shot but couldn't take it as there is a house other side of the hedge! One two houses back into the the shoot and this bugger has to stand next to one! Drive on 500 yards spot another sitting next to a strip of game cover, get the rifle up to it and just as I do so little sod turns and strolls into the cover ? a bloody annoying evening! Spotted two barn owls and about 7 roe which was nice to see though...

No exactly what you mean! Always get more calls in the summer! If I can't get to them to ferret I cage trap, snare, .22 lr, fencing etc depending on the environment. At least you are seen to be putting the effort in!
-
Cheers mate. Give me bell if you still have my number. The caller is working well, the jackdaws round here love it!
nice one Jarvis i'v got a golight that will help for that setup remote control and a dimmer switch ,i will send you it

I've had a cat in a trap before, bloody wild thing it was! Must have been a feral from a nearby farm. Nearly took my fingers off getting it out! A week later I caught it again! Let's just say there won't be a third time.... I find best results are when baited with carrot sliced length ways.

Doesn't seem to bother the badgers and foxes near me, I've had them come right up to the camera and give it a sniff...I bought one and took it back. I thought I had lots of places to set it to monitor wild life passing through. But when you factor in it needs a clear line of site with no branches waving about which is not easy at this time of year. But also to be hidden which isnt helped by the silver led panel. So I decided I couldnt justify the dosh
was more worried about it getting stolen lol
Oh haha, I don't have that problem. No footpaths on the shoot Not that people stick to them anyway! Bloody right to roam!

Made this up out of some old angle iron and two old chairs. Bolted at the front and lifts off in a second. Out on the foxes tomorrow night so will see how it does. Nice padded seat should cushion the ride!

It's great when you find a spot like that!
-
There is no glow from what I've seen. Not an issue for me as not set anywhere near footpaths or where members of the public would go and well hidden. The night footage isn't the best but lovely and clear in day light. I set one out trying to find a fox run and instead I got 103 videos of badgers, deer and rabbits!

Typical! They are good little cams. Included in price was batteries and sd card, which I though was really good as the more expensive ones I've brought in the past had neither included.
-
If anyone is after a good cheap trail cam they are selling some in Aldi at the moment. £69.99 they are good quality as well.
