Having a thermal-imagining monocular at hand can solve a lot of problems. They are excellent at spotting and tracking game, as well as detecting other hunters in the field.

(l.) Whether on Kenya guinea fowl or Kentucky doves, the author’s Westley Richards .410-bore “Federal” model is an enjoyable gun to shoot.
