Nope, just 1 coyote and 1 fox. I thought i heard another one vocalize from a ways off, but never seen it if it was, lots of domestics in that area
Thank you
Nice, I was wondering if you was ever gonnna shoot
Cool.
Got a couple of dumb questions for you. Assume you are using an IR illuminator? Notice your scope is ATN and I purchased an ATN from Cabellas probably 10-12 years ago. It was last one of a closeout. Took it out and could see the target frame, but was unable to see a 100 yard targets on the frame. Called ATN and they said it was defective; to send it back and they would fix it. Since Cabellas has a liberal return policy, I called them to see if I sent scope to ATN and it still did not provide positive ID beyond 100 yards could I return it to Cabelas. They said no, so I returned the scope to Cabellas, thus ending my interest in night vision. Now for the questions.
1) Assuming you were using an illuminator, I noticed you kept the target in the fringe of the light. Is the IR beam visible to coyotes (but to a lesser degree) than a regular spot light?
2) I'm now wondering if perhaps an IR illuminator would have improved the scope or if it was defective? Had nothing to compare to back then.

Yes using an aftermarket I.R. on the ATN 4K pro, most digital night vision benefits greatly from an upgraded I.R. I can spot targets at a lot further than i will shoot with mine using the nightsnipe NS750 I.R.
I dont believe they see the light, but can see the glow of the I.R. bulb if they are looking at it.
