Hahaha, maybe not shameful, but should certainly be on your list. One with a nice zoom capability, and portability for field use. You would find it quickly part of your top 5 desired to have list to take camping or even hunting for quickly scouting the area, or even identifying and searching for the (very occasional) searching.

That's my only regret, that I didn't get the one with thermal camera (well, not yet at least). I'm sure my next one will have it.

Seriously, you'll be amazed at what interesting stuff you will find to explore on foot that you haven't noticed before. Or even for being able to remotely check the view and future hide locations and angles.

Lol, there I go selling it to you again. Just cause I know you'll want two of them.....
Cause two is one and.......
