Even if it’s legal where you hunt I think it’s borderline unethical to use thermal optics for western hunting. For coyotes or hogs , sure. But glassing for big game out west with thermal optics is just wrong. I want to get my mule deer every year , but I’ll never use thermal optics.
Hey there! Yeah the discussion of how ethical or unethical thermal optics are for various hunting situations/locations (particularly big game hunting) is certainly one that is going to be discussed and absolutely regulated (already is in some states) as thermal optics become more popular. I expect a lot more states to implement regulation surrounding thermal optics in the coming years. Thanks for watching!
I couldn't agree more with your statement. Where is the sportsmanship and skill in that type of hunting? I also see hunters standing right outside of a protected area with elk within a 300-foot range, just waiting for them to cross that imaginary border to shoot them. There is no sportsmanship in that.
WOW that was a Great Review! Lots of info!! Thanks!! #ZeissRep
