Bad eye sight
My wife has some bad eye sight but she loves to hunt. Hunting in an open field she sees deer and is a great shot. In the woods she has a hard time deciphering deer. Are there any tips of products that could help her with this. I know there are thermal imagers but they are too expensive. Any other pointers are appreciated.

I used to use a small pair of 7x30 Swarovskis for picking deer out in the woods and brush, etc. It's more of a spot and stalk type of tactic than still hunting through the woods. Is her eye sight correctable with glasses? If so, maybe she could get some non-reflective glasses to eliminate that issue.

She wears contacts, and it helps. I think its just harder for her to pick out the deer because they do not contrast enough.

Hunt in open country. Problem solved.

Thanks for the great bit of advice...well thought out. She doesnt always have that opportunity

I would get a good eye test done, maybe she has issue's with certain colors, and if so, maybe wearing a colored lens might help her see things better
that and try to get her to focus more on movement then and NOT just look for a DEER once she finds movement, have her use binoculars to ID things better than! and I woudl also make sure she is 110 % sure of any targets and what's behind them before shooting poor eye sight can be dangerous when holding a weapon! |
I don't know where you live but few states if any would allow thermal imaging for big game.

Good to know about thermal imaging. she hunts on private land and shoots in a direction no one is.

My dad doesn't really have bad eye sight but he hunts with a yellow tinted pair of sunglasses. Says it helps him see better in the woods
