Camo Binocular

Camo Binocular

Can I make my binocualrs have night vision?

I have a pair of 8 x 21 Tacso binocluars. Is there any way that I can make it have some sort of night vision? When I say that I dont mean James Bond spy stuff. I mean ANYTHING that I can to do to make it see ANY better when it is dark.
-Preferably CHEAP!!

Tasco bino’s are cheap. Even replacing these with a high quality pair at the same size would increase the amount of light transmitted to your eye, and therefore your ability to see at dusk. As a hunter, the rule is “you can’t shoot what you can’t see.” Optics are KEY. High quality binoculars are expensive. The lenses are perfect and the coatings are important for reducing scatter of light between the lens elements. A good pair of binoculars will cost up to $1500 without any night vision gadgetry.

Night vision is a completely different technology. You won’t be reinventing it cheaply. In addition to a series of light concentrating lenses, there is an electronic system that picks up low level light and displays it as a phosphorescent image. A good source of information if you want to learn about how things like that are made is:

Deer Hunting Gifts

Whether it is for the holidays, a birthday or some other occasion finding a gift for the deer hunter in your life can be a difficult task. Being a hunter and being around other hunters has given me the insight to know what it is we typically like to receive. This list of deer hunting gifts isn’t exhaustive, but it is a good start and you could definitely get away with something listed below. If you have any other ideas for things to be added to the list, let us know and we’ll get it updated!

• Rifle or Shotgun & Ammunition – Can be purchased at most sporting goods stores. Better yet, a gift certificate to Cabela’s, Bass Pro Shops or a local Gun Shop would also suffice.
• Binoculars / Spotting Scope – Bushnell, Leupold and Nikon are brands that typically receive very high marks in effectiveness and durability.
• Rifle Scopes – Again, Leupold, Bushnell and Nikon make excellent rifle scopes. Another brand to check out is Trijicon, who makes an excellent red dot scope.
• Camouflage clothing – Take into consideration the type of hunting that the person you are buying for is involved in and what season he or she hunts as this definitely should play a role in the type of camo purchased. If you have any questions about specific camouflage patterns, don’t be afraid to ask a sales associate. After all, that is what they are paid for!
• Hunter’s Orange – Vests and hats are always welcome as more and more states have safety orange requirements.
• Recipe Books – What better way to put your harvested animal to use than on the dinner table. There are recipe books for singular game animals like deer or elk or books covering most big game species.
• Hunting Club Membership – Do some research and find local hunting clubs with the best reviews. Also inqiure about the number of hunters per 100 acres and shoot for the lowest ratio which ultimately means less hunting pressure on a piece of land.
