The foxes and munties can both see I/R as can Badgers ,due to a recent cull around here any brock does a runner as soon as he,s spotted but the solaris lazer doesnt seem to bother them atb I use a Solaris SRX and don't have a problem spooking foxes. I have used LED i/r torches in the past with AS pills in them and they definately do spook foxes that are lamp shy. 1 Quote Link to post

Longshanx 832 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 It may be the answer to why Stav and I had a fox the other week and it was very uneasy? We both had NV spotters and it could be that the IR was spooking it? It came in twice to the caller but as soon as we spotted it, it was off quick sharp across the field. (and no it's not my blue Stratoss scaring it before you say it ) 1 Quote Link to post
