Can't see at night? How about "night vision"?

I have been a hunter for years, most of my life actually I come from a long family history of hunting enthusiasts for a sport that is as fundamental to our way of life today as it was for many before us in the quest to provide food to feed the family through long winters. We still do it for the food as any thing we take while hunting is eaten, but it is not as important to our survival as was for my forefathers. I definitely helps with the food bill during the year though so in that sense it still is very beneficial.

Well, even though it's illegal to hunt at night in every state that I know of for deer, it is very important to know their habits and since deer are very nocturnal and do much of their traveling after dark, it would be very interesting to know what those habits are during the pre-season scouting that one does for deer. Many people go and do what is called here in Michigan "spotting" using high powered lights to see which fields the deer are traveling around.

Well another option for this is one that many do not think about are night vision optics. These used to be so expensive that they were never a consideration by most hunters, but with the prices coming down so far now, there affordable to most average hunters today. The ability that night vision optics give you is that you now have a way to see the animals after dark but not disturb them in their natural surrounding the way that "spotlights" do. This gives you the chance to watch them do what they normally do and where the normally go, which is great information for when hunting season does finally arrive.

Optics of many types be they binoculars, hunting optics and scopes, range finders or many of the other types of standard optics that most hunters use and need for their sport, you can find them many places on the web at good prices. Good optics can mean the difference between having extra meat in the freezer after hunting season or not. The have become our "advantage" or the animals we respectfully hunt every year. There is nothing more important when hunting deer which is my favorite sport, than a good pair of binoculars, range finding equipment, and a good quality rifle or shotgun scope. To you success and good vision!
