Wild boar populations are on the rise – in Europe as well as in the US and other parts of the world. Increasing populations mean more game damage and problems. Therefore, in their role as wildlife managers, hunters need to remove more wild boar. Additionally, in response to the outbreak of African swine fever, hunting at night has become an important practice to keep their numbers at bay. With new technologies emerging and more countries permitting the use of thermal imaging technology, night hunting has become an efficient, responsible hunting method.
What equipment do you need for hunting after sunset?
Thermal imaging devices, such as the tM 35.2/tM 35+, help you to detect game before being seen. Observation in the night – simplified. However, the tM 35.2/tM 35+ is not only an observation device. You can also use it to turn your rifle scope into a thermal scope. As a clip-on device with 1x magnification, the tM 35.2/tM 35+ provides absolute accuracy. Combine it with your SWAROVSKI OPTIK rifle scope via the tMA adapter and together they form a reliable, complete system requiring no additional sighting in. The tM 35.2's/tM 35+'s shape allows you to intuitively place it in the right position – even when it is pitch dark.
If you use the tM 35.2/tM 35+ as a clip-on device, we recommend rifle scopes with a low initial magnification (1x to 2.5x). You’ll find that you’ll enjoy the best field of view at a magnification ranging from 2x to 6x.
Potent packages for your night hunt
General tip:
Use the tM 35.2/tM 35+ in combination with a compact and lightweight rifle scope. Its low starting magnification is ideal for the clip-on. Plus, the entire system (rifle + rifle scope + tM 35.2/tM 35+) will still be easy to handle.
