Night vision

[Rogue and running dog 26]

Do any of you guys use night vision binoculars when out?

 

Been interested for a while less obvious to people than a lamp could be quite handy?

 

What do you use and what's your experiences?

Ive been meaning to give it a go myself I have a monocular but how much do you want to carry with you on a night out

[suffolkpoacher 219]

Thinking of getting one myself to use for retrieving the gingers handy bit of kit I would think,hope. To hear some more opinions

[Ideation 8,217]

Been out with lads who use it, very handy at times.

I know but some of the monoculars aren't so big could fit in a pocket I know the jacket I wear for lamping it would easily pop in a pocket without many problems! Seriously thinking about getting one!

 

It's very on top nr me And although I'm on my permission I've been pulled 3 times in one night before now and although nothing came of it it wastes time I could be lamping! And most of the times it's the lamp they've seen,

 

So goggles could just limit the amount of time lamps n limiting the chance of getting hassled

there shite unless you spend strong money, buy a filter instead imo

Ones i saw were very good military spec.

I'd be willing to spend reasonable money to avoid the hassle! Like I said I'm on permission but still get pulled just for "checks"

I don't think the kit i saw was bought . . . . at least not by those using it

I've had a Gen 1 + for 2/3 years, only use it when shooting.

Cost about £125, its OK when its really black but OK only.

 

Cheers, D.

yukon tracker binocular 1x24 with infrared filter on the lamp is a good bit of kit.

heard someone talking about night vision the other day and they were spending £1200 on a set

I've used one quite alot. Pulsar digital scope of my mates rifle. its no good single handed but with one spotting with the scope and the other running the dog its pretty good. Getting the communication right is vital but once you've got it sussed it works a treat. It means the lamps only on for the actual run, no scanning the field so more subtle.

Not cheap though, his set up was a grand.
