In three more nights the new moon will be bright enough to illuminate a target early in the evening with each night getting brighter as the moon nears the full stage on June 26Th.
A couple more tips that I have thought of in addition to the previous entry to practice looking through the scope in the moonlight , is firstly to make sure the backdrop of the target ( e.g. a 40lbs hay bale ) is lighter than the target. This will easily outline the target.Bushpigs normally appear black in the moonlight,so the backdrops of most bait sites are lighter than the pigs.
The second most important tip here is to make sure that there are no shadows on the target such as from tree branches or other structures.Trying to see something in moon shadow will be difficult for most people.
Obviously the less cloud cover there is the better to see something in the moonlight too.
The distance is always important too, anything further than 100 yards starts getting difficult for anyone when looking through the scope in the moonlight.
Lastly....keep eating those carrots!!!
