"Hunting is not just a hobby for myself, but it also plays an important role in my lifestyle,

providing me with a deep connection to nature and the outdoors.

—— Nazaret Jiménez   

 

Who is Nazaret

No matter where she finds herself, this huntress from Toledo – a privileged province of central Spain in hunting matters – enjoys her time in hilly ground, open land or forest areas. Disciplined and tenacious woman, committed to the conservation of nature and passionate about this lifestyle that is part of her essence as a person.

Depending on the time of year, she adapts to the season: “I love the roe deer; I also enjoy a good waiting too, but without a doubt, the dear rutting season is the most special part of the hunt for me. If I had to choose a favorite species, I would say that the stalking of deer in the rutting season is something that I’m incredible excited about due to its spectacular nature.”

On a regular hunting day, she assures she can never go without her Bergara B14 Timber bolt-action rifle (338-caliber) and a Delta Titanium 2.5-15x56 scope. Although, for stalking and waiting, she just bought a Bergara B-14 Wilderness Thumbhole carbon model bolt-action rifle (308-caliber), with an Alpen 2.5-15x56 scope, less heavy and more suitable for long days in the bush.

When she goes hunting with a bow and arrow, Nazaret always takes her binoculars with a rangefinder, headlamp, and a short-arm flashlight for the bow, Olight brand model Valkyria Pl-3r.

In her 35-liter backpack, she ensures always to put her Delta 9x45 binoculars with rangefinder, two Bat Vision flashlights, a knife, and a first-aid kit for any emergency.

HIKMICRO Brand Ambassador

Nazaret has represented the HIKMICRO brand since EI Calden took over the distribution in Spain several years ago. During this time, she claims to have witnessed a great evolution in the brand and its products: “Since my beginnings as brand ambassador, I’ve seen how HIKMICRO has constantly strived to raise quality standards. The commitment to innovation and quality has been reflected in every release. It pleases me to know that I am endorsing high-quality products.”

"Now, for me, it’s essential to take a thermal device to the wild boar waitings at night to improve the accuracy and efficiency of my shots."

The hunting industry, like any other sector, it is always evolving and this is why the Spanish woman hunter is in favor of taking advantage of the technology: "Thermal technology has revolutionized hunting, providing a completely new vision and making us enjoy the night waitings in another way.” Before shooting, the thermal devices allow us to observe the behavior of the animal and details such as its complexion, morphology or distinction between male and female, something that, in the opinion of Nazaret, "allows me to know if it’s really the animal I'm looking for, thus contributing to a more ethical hunting.”

The Versatility of The GRYPHON GQ50L

“The long-range detection of the GRYPHON GQ50L has definitely improved my ability to detect and assess animals, even at a significant distance.”

Based on her experience with HIKMICRO devices and considering several factors such as the type of game, the species, the distance and the land, Nazaret feels confident with the GRYPHON GQ50L thermal monocular: “the combination of key features makes it a versatile product and quite effective in any hunting scenario, whether it be stalking or waiting.”

"The clarity and detail of the image are perfect for identifying and assessing animals, allowing you to gain information on their behavior and location - whether it's open land, forest areas or mountains - in any weather situation."

The fast and accurate zoom is another aspect that she finds extremely useful. When the night falls, the perception of distances varies a lot, reason why this huntress from Toledo appreciates the feature of the rangefinder - its intuitive and quick activation at a time, when it’s important to know the distance between us and the target before shooting.

The capacity to record high-quality video is also a benefit: “Exciting moments can be captured and shared but also, I can review and analyze those moments later if I need to.”

Passion for A Style and Way of Life

For Nazaret, hunting is much more than an activity. Besides her passion, it is also a very important part of her life: “It is rooted in what I do every day since my company creates hunting clothing, which allows me to remain close to what I love".

Moreover, hunting not only gives her moments of personal satisfaction and effort, but it has also become a source of food: "It’s a way of connecting with nature, of commitment taking care of the environment and an activity to obtain food in a sustainable and responsible way”.

 “Every time I go into the mountains, I have a feeling of peace and calm that I can't find anywhere else. Being in the countryside, surrounded by beauty and wildlife, not only gives me the chance to learn from nature, but it recharges my energy and provides me with a safe haven where I can escape from stress and everyday life".
