Night Vision hunting
I want to hunt at night because i need to be extremely stealthy where i hunt. And for various other reasons, ie the cool factor.
If i got some insanely expensive night vision goggles, does anyone think i would still be able to be accurate with a compound bow? This is a semi serious idea, but with prices on goggles in the $1k range, its something i would have to commit to. So please, give me your thoughts and ideas and shoot, if anyone has actually done this give me your experiences. Thanks alot |
What are u trying to hunt

might want to look into your local or state laws before you drop the coin on goggles.
My state says that you can take a deer 30 min before sunrise and 30 min after sun set. |
While it could be cool it is not legal where I am probably in most states.
It would be awkward with a pair of googles like that. I have used a milatary pair before that it might be possible . The price of them will be a lot higher than that. It sounds like you are bordering on doing something illegal |
In Texas it is legal for hogs only, I know in a few other southern states it is also legal for hogs only so don't plan on deer hunting.

I don't think you have to be that stealthy no matter where you hunt... and I don't know if it's just me but I don't think I'd feel cool hunting in NVGs... I'd feel cheap. Nightime is when the deer get a chance to relax from hunters.

put on some regular goggels and see how you shoot. Sunglasses don't work for me.

Am I the only one who thinks this is poaching?

we nite hunt all the time...we use a 22-250 though...and the scope has the nite vision on it...you would have to get a 2 eye set, and get yer draw length taken down at least 6 inches...then ya have ta figure out a good anchor point....then ya need to mount lites and batteries to yer bow some how.....and then at that, night vision sux for depth perception...and ya would have to point yer bow at what ever you are looking at , unless ya mount the lites to yerself per say..
i say it aint worth it..if you are nite hunting, shine the hogs up and do it that way...its way cheaper, easier and more effective. |
