  1. Was out last night after muntjac and took a pair of Bushnell infinity for spotting in woodland. Pretty good for the price I paid £0.00. If its a high seat or more open I'd use Leica RF hdb 10x42.
  2. We had 2 years lockdown which in my opinion affected all, even though we didn't realise it. I started to become so un interested in just about everything. I decided to give myself a kick up the backside and get out the wife's way. I decided to take the rifle out and just sit out in the truck and watch the world go by, it was enough to kick start the interst I had before. I lost 3 really good perms, in that time of moping unfortunately.
  3. I think he'd rather do time for shooting deer illegally than have his name changed to RIMMER 😃😆 Hello Christian Sutton
  4. I understand peoples concern, but i would be very surprised if any prosecution ruled over animal welfare even IF it was an illegal act. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1991/54/crossheading/offences-relating-to-deer?view=plain
  5. Hold on with the lighter for that Ceeeeegar Deer act 1991 (2)A person shall not be guilty of an offence under section 2 or section 3 above by reason of any act done for the purpose of preventing the suffering of an injured or diseased deer.
  6. I've got 2 pairs, the oldest must be 20 years old now, there a tad rough looking now but OK. Used round the garden. My best pair bought off here ages ago, new as far as I could tell..also have a pair of Chiruca 10inch Boa for the really wet days. Scarpa have always been my 1st choice.
  7. If we don't do anything we accept what we get. I'm happy just trying. You will never prevent the scrtote type but there's a couple that walks their dogs that may think twice. Probably more so after they hear a rifle shot. 👍 We'll have to wait and see.
  8. Every piece of glass has an effect on clarity when compared to the naked eye. What matters is the quality of glass and coating. It's all about work involved creating the end product. Hence cost generally gives better clarity. Compare cheap camera lenses costing £50 to similar lenses costing £10,000 . So answering your question, yes it will make a difference. How much depends on your window glazing and your binoculars.
  9. Need more info really. Nets. Curtains. Blinds. Shutters. Day. Night. Just trying to help. 😃
  10. The thing was, even with 2 of us spotting deer with thermal, neither of us saw him, it was like he was dropped in by helicopter.
  11. I once pulled up the truck having seen a munty go into a wheat field. Got the rifle on the sticks and waited, as expected 5 or so minutes it came out about 70yds and cleanly shot. What I hadn't noticed a cyclists had waited till for me to take the shot. He was behind me, he stopped had a chat, he told me he didn't want to spook the deer so kept back. Nice chap, there not all weirdos 😆
  12. Ooops. No a random bloke appeared from nowhere.
