Isn't that just bloody typical of foxes taking the mick!
I get more chuffed by mine every time I use it..... if the wife catches you with it you can impress her by showing her where the CH pipes run under the floorboards. Trouble is you might land yourself a job having to insulate them!
Good stuff!

You're right about getting more chuffed every time you use it, I had a lovely long walk with the dog tonight, two hours to be precise, (funny how I can take the dog out for two hours but I'm taking the p*ss if I go shooting,)
I had to take the thermal of course,
I was well impressed how you could see through heavy wooded area's & identify deer & rabbits that I was unable to see with the tube,
I even put the powerful head torch on & couldn't see them because the cover was too thick,
the biggest surprise was watching all the field mice climbing up & down the grass stalks without a care that I was watching them,
The Icing on the cake
I had just sat down to write a little bit about what I had seen & to say if anyone out there is having doubts whether The Pulsar HD38's is up to the job & worth the money, my answer is yes it is & buy one & join the party
we had a neighbour knock our door & said that there might be a fox attacking our chickens, I grabbed the thermal, head torch & run up the garden to see what was going on, I didnt bother to take a rifle as my garden backs into heavy woods & the night vision is almost impossible to shoot in it,
my chickens were fine but I could hear a big commotion going on in the woods & also could see another fox mooching about not to far from the garden so back down the garden to fetch a rifle, on my return after a little scan with the thermal I picked up the fox, it knew I was there but was happy to keep moving about, every time I put the tube on I couldnt see the fox, I even put the head torch on, nope still couldn't see it, back to the thermal, yep there it is, I decided to quickly change to the NV & watch to see if I could get a clear shoot, sure enough the opportunity presented its self & job done, one less fox, there is no way I could have located this fox without the thermal & get a shot off, I did manage to see another fox several times in the wood, caught it watching me loads but I just couldnt pick it up on the NV, I even could see heat areas where it had been sat watching me, where it had had a p*ss & a sh*t
lets hope I get it before it gets my chickens
I know me & the 38's are going to get on just fine & locating a kill is so easy, no wonder you all love your thermals
we all know it doesnt happen like that when you do
