How many of you had experienced fogged up scopes right at the crucial moment ? Interesting technique from somebody who had 700 kills in 100 days ?

Quite the body count

I keep the rifle in the car, to avoid thermal shock, coming out of an overheated house. But even that isen't allways enough. I allways have a pack of Kleenex handkerchieves in my pocket, and check regularly for fogging. I am told that some photographers have a lotion to avoid fogging, but I am too scared to damage the coating on the lenses. Bushnell claims to have a fog/rain proof coating on their Elite line, has anybody tried these ?

Tried rain x on a cheapie and it works along with split or detergent but what this guy does makes sense , it's cool and with proven results !

Ghubert next time you see me on a high seat with an umbrella an iPad and a mouthful of snow , don't laugh

I am going for the big boy

Well, "at the crucial moment" depends if the scope "fogging" is on the inside (equipment failure) or on the outside lens (mostly a snort of exhaled air at the wrong moment).

#1 is really expensive or warranty work and #2 is usually incurred by folks who sufer from an extra bad case of Buck Fever and need to learn to control their breathing.

Can you get vaccinated for this fever ?

Is it contagious ?

What Gerry said, and it isn't helped if you wear a scarf up over your nose while you shoot in cold weather.

The hot exhaled air rises from the gaps either side of your nose and you get an instant white out.

Of course you can get the same effect depending on what films you are watching on the I pad while in the high seat...

Put a piece (ball) of toiletpaper in the objektiv take it of close to shooting and wipe if needed.

Nostrils Kiri, we call them "nostrils".....

Given I've watched you eat a few times that would explain why your nostrils apparently point upwards...
