In the hunting world, there is a passion transcending seasons that remains deeply rooted in the hearts of those who dedicate themselves to this noble tradition. This is the case of Saray Blanco, a passionate huntress from Madrid, who in this article shares with us her love for hunting, her experiences in the field, and a connection with technology that has undoubtedly transformed the way she lives her passion."

Saray Blanco currently practices hunting in the vast mountain ranges of Cuenca, a province very close to Madrid. Most of the year she is dedicated to big game hunting, especially stalking and waiting, with an occasional foray into small game hunting, being the roe deer hunting what she awaits with greater expectation and excitement when April arrives. 

Equipped for Success

When venturing out on her hunting expeditions, preparation is essential. Her equipment is thoroughly selected to ensure comfort and efficiency in the field. She wears Swedteam clothing, which provides the necessary comfort for long days in the field. Her loyal companion is a Bergara B14 Crest rifle in .308 Win caliber, equipped with a Delta Titanium 2.5-15x56 scope. In her backpack, an Olight flashlight is always present, her best ally in low visibility environments.

In addition to the Falcon FQ50 monocular, her equipment includes binoculars, a digital day and night scope Alpex, and an IR flashlight. All these elements come together to offer a complete and effective hunting experience.

Impact of Thermal Technology

As an ambassador for HIKMICRO for the past three years, Saray has witnessed how the brand has evolved in parallel with her own hunting experiences.

In the world of hunting, thermal technology has had a deep impact on its approach to the field. The huntress confesses that she can no longer imagine hunting without these devices and feels strange when she does: "Thermal devices allow you to locate animals more quickly and accurately, helping you select and avoid mistakes when shooting."

The use of thermal technology provides our hunter with a deeper understanding of her surroundings. The ability to select and recognize animals gives her a new level of control and certainty in her actions. Hunting becomes a more refined and conscious dance in which respect for nature and its inhabitants is fundamental.

The Chosen One: Falcon FQ50 Thermal Monocular

When asked about her favorite HIKMICRO device, the answer is concise: "The Falcon FQ50 thermal monocular. The image quality, usability and reliability it offers are unbeatable."

Regarding image quality, Saray is very clear: "The high resolution and clarity of its OLED screen, along with its microbolometer sensor, provide exceptional details."

At significant distances, Saray ensures that the Falcon FQ50 allows her to see crucial details clearly for successful hunting: "The quality of the FALCON is truly awesome; it's lightweight and easy to carry. In the areas where I hunt, there is a lot of mountains, and when making waitings for wild boar at night, the HIKMICRO device allows you to clearly see if the animal is male or female, or whether it's accompanied by young ones. This makes it unnecessary to shine the flashlight, which it’s good, as they don't give you many chances.”

Regarding usability, Saray highlights its ergonomics and the layout of the buttons that allow comfortable operation, even in the dark: "For me, it's a positive tool when heading out into the field, both for waiting and stalking, as it reaches 1,600 meters." One of the things she likes most about the device is the two removable batteries that can be interchangeable, when the device runs out of battery, with an approximate autonomy of 5 hours.

Finally, in terms of product reliability, the hunter from Madrid always pays close attention to the product housing when choosing the most suitable thermal device: "The magnesium housing is water-resistant, so you don't have to worry about it getting damaged or rusted." She also highlights the product's warranty, which she refers to as "an added and very interesting advantage."

Hunting Is a Part of My Life

For Saray, hunting has been a part of her life from an early age. Hunting has led her to explore nature, learn about animals and plants, discover new places, and meet people from various countries. According to Saray, "this is a journey in which hunting becomes an extension of oneself and a deep respect for the beauty of nature."

"For me, hunting is the most beautiful and purest hobby I've taught since I was a child; it is a part of my life."
