Thermal imaging – a hot topic.
Hunting during twilight and at night.
Hunting wild boar at twilight, in poor weather conditions, and at the night is becoming increasingly important. Growing wild boar populations and the ever-increasing spread of African swine fever (ASF) present hunters with ever greater challenges. Added to this are the currently rising grain prices, which are causing farmers and hunters more and more problems when it comes to damage caused by wild boar. In order to implement the measures for preventing and containing African swine fever, and to avoid crop damage caused by wild boar, it is necessary to hunt the wild boar population. But this needs to be done in an ethical manner, taking animal welfare into account. Cutting-edge thermal imaging technology helps the hunter perform this task responsibly. The use of thermal cameras makes it easier to identify leading sows and to spot juveniles in tall vegetation, and also gives the hunter the necessary precision when firing a shot.

“When hunting, the use of modern thermal imaging technology and targeting optics is not a privilege, it is an ethical responsibility.”

“I’m someone who doesn’t want to make compromises, so I need a reliable, all-round package. Especially when it comes to my hunting equipment, I look for reliability, intuitive operation, and rugged, high-quality workmanship.”
