Thermal Vision for Hunting

What is Thermal Vision and Why Do You Need It?

Thermal vision is a technology that allows you to detect the heat emitted by objects. In hunting, this means you can see your prey in complete darkness or in conditions of fog, smoke or rain. Imagine being able to spot a wild boar hiding in the bushes or a deer hundreds of metres away!

Types of Thermal Vision Devices

Thermal cameras:They are larger and more powerful devices, ideal for long-distance observations and for use in vehicles.

Thermal Monoculars:They are more compact and portable, perfect for carrying by hand during hunting on foot.

Thermal Binoculars:They offer stereoscopic vision, which improves depth perception and makes it easier to identify targets.

Advantages of Thermal Vision in Hunting

Night hunting:Allows you to hunt at any time of day, even in the darkest hours.

Greater reach:It detects animals at much greater distances than with human vision.

Penetration:Go through fog, smoke and rain.

Increased security:It allows animals to be identified in advance, avoiding accidental shooting.

How to Choose Your Thermal Vision

When choosing a thermal imaging device, you should consider:

Detection range:The maximum distance at which you can detect an object.

Resolution: Image quality, which influences the identification of details.

Field of view:The area you can see through the device.

Endurance:Waterproof, shock and low temperature resistant.

Additional features:Some thermal cameras offer features such as video recording, smartphone connection, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a night vision scope and a thermal vision scope? 

Night vision scopes amplify available light, while thermal scopes detect heat. Thermal scopes work best in complete darkness and can detect heat through obstacles such as fog or foliage.

Can I use a thermal imaging device during the day?

Yes, thermal imaging devices work both day and night. During the day, they can help you spot camouflaged animals or identify details that are not visible to the naked eye.

Is it legal to use thermal vision for hunting?

Legislation regarding the use of thermal imaging in hunting varies by country and region. It is important to check local regulations before using this type of device.
