Do you enjoy watching thermal videos?

I enjoy watching both. Of course, some are better than others which is to be expected. I video every stand for educational purposes for myself. I also enjoy making and editing the videos for YouTube viewing. I'm not being paid for it nor am I sponsoring any products or trying to sell something. The wonderful part for each of us is that we can select what we want to watch.

If I didn’t night hunt I wouldn’t get too many opportunities. I still have to work for a living and the day job doesn’t leave a lot of daylight for me to get any hunting done except on weekends.

It's just another productive way to hunt for me. I will see more coyotes in one night than I would in a whole season trying to get hunts in Saturday or Sunday during the day. I like to see the lit up image coming in from a thousand yards away when during the day I wouldn't know the coyote was there. They do enough damage I like to see the upper hand.
 
I hunt with video capable thermal equipment, but never “record.” I’ve watched a few thermal kill thermal kill videos and will watch some more. But it’s sure not on my list of must do things.
 
I guess I'm in the minority camp. I like watching thermal videos, it's the only was I get to see them. I have never seen a daytime coyote that wasn't sick or dead. They get a lot of hunting pressure here in Michigan. Anyone and everyone takes a shot at them during the day so they don't come out. With thermal being more popluar now they are even hard to see at night out in fields. This is something I don't enjoy. It takes all of the fun out of calling and hunting them. Before I went to thermal I spent about 2 years trying to use red lights and also never saw them, only heard them. I will say though that the quantity of coyotes I have seen with thermals is increasing as my technique improves.
