With all the types and prices of thermal and night vision optics available to hunters these days I was wondering what Predator hunters are using as their primary and backup optics.
Not looking for brands, just the type of optic.

Well I progressed from hunting only at night with snow and a bright moon, to hunting at night with red lights, then digital night vision and now thermal. For coyotes, I cannot see going back towards where I started for any reason other than wanting to frustrate myself! :ROFLMAO: But honestly, If I had the desire to get after fox again, I would go back to using red lights without much hesitation. It's slightly more challenging than thermal, but still loved watching those glowing bouncing eyes headed towards the call!
 
IMO if you want a one and done then go with a dedicated thermal. You don't have to spend $5,000-$6,000 on an expensive 640 or 1280 to go out and have fun and kill critters. You can get a good quality 384 for less than half of that and go out and have a good time.

With that said, if I know I'm going to be hunting open areas/fields I still like to take my NV out.
 
I assume Pole is asking what 'shoot with' use on the rifle ?

Rifle shoot only with gen3 NV . two NV units . clip-on, and with dedicated NV scope .
Scan and range with 640 therm . Foot travel using pvs14.
