wyn Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 In your other thread someone said the 450 uses 850nm ir and the 455 uses 940nm ir. 940nm ir is supposed to be less visible. So the foxes might not notice it as much on the N455. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I have used both 850 and 940 spectrums. The foxes noticed them both (eventually) although the 940 is not so 'bright'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Hopefully they only notice it once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancer425 Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Yes they can see it and it educates them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 They do have a last look at mine sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornfree Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I find 95% of them take absolutely no notice of IR but the other 5% can be extremely awkward. A moonlit night can sometimes be the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOXHUNTER1 Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 They can become IR shy just like being lamp shy. Its probably the older , wiser ones though that's been around the block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpy22 Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Without doubt they can see it. But as with all foxes and nature they act differently. Not so sure about the whole lamp shy. I just believe some foxes will be more wary of a light going on them than others. I am not saying they cannot be educated by people shining a light at them from the other county and then throwing lead at them from same distance. I just found that foxes can be off at the slightest noise/light when others can be complete opposite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) They can see all sorts of light and many get used to all sorts of light and take little notice. Others can turn at the slightest thing. Lamp shy is a thing in my experience, but I wonder why very often, as I don't give mine a chance to get used to any light!

FOXHUNTER1 Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 If a fox has been lamped then ran by a lurcher or shot at and missed they very quickly associate the lamp means danger and scarper. I once went to a farm where a lad had been running them with dogs with no success so I went with the rifle which was futile, as soon as the lamp lit them up from 400 yards away they scarpered.
