I have had a prototype Super Yoter 35 for a few weeks. The weather has not cooperated, and our night season is now over (although I still have the last month of the season to publish). I put together a quick review video filming some deer as well as two coyote stands using the Super Yoter 35. The humidity in the review video ranges from 75% all the way to 100%.

The Super Yoter 35 is exactly what I expected. The image is very comparable to the Super Yoter 50 but at 2x base magnification vs 3x and 11° FOV vs 8.5°. It will be a great option for people who hunt tighter terrain and/or shoot at larger groups of animals. It will be a very universal type of scope with the lower base magnification and ability to maintain image quality using digital zoom.





Bering has informed me the first batches of units will be shipping any day. Night Goggles has them on our website.

$3,995 is the MAP pricing with the LaRue mount. This thermal is going to be very popular. As always, PM members should contact Night Goggles to get free shipping and any applicable PM discounts.

Without taking this thread into a ditch, I will say from early indications the accuracy should be similar to the SY50 and leave it at that. I am not aware of any changes made to firmware and the mount is the same as the SY50. It was zeroed by the 2nd shot, used it on two stands and shot at two coyotes and hit two coyotes exactly where I was aiming.

I'm leaning towards a thermal, had one a Pulsar worthless, I'm a little gun shy I want to make sure my choice is right. I shoot from 50 to 75 coyotes a year with just a Wicked Coyote Light, most shots would be usually max at 150 , I'm hoping this might be an option. The Pulsar was way to complicated for a piece of hunting equipment. And the thermal I had as far as sighting in , left me totally turned off with thermal. THX
 
The SY35 is a compact, easy to use thermal. I think it fits your situation well. However, without knowing more about your situation, if you don't own a thermal scanner, I would start there. You can't shoot what you can't see and detecting them earlier is so helpful.
 
I would do the opposite. Scan with the thermal, then when coyote is close enough, use the light to identify and shoot.

Scanning early will enable you to watch coyotes while coming into the call. This will help with identification later if you use a thermal to scan and one to shoot. I have not reached the point of identifying and shooting solely with a thermal yet. Too many dogs close to my calling areas and I don't want to make a mistake.
 
This new Bering Optics Super Yoter 35 model (= Infiray Saim SCH35 640x512@12micron, F35/1.0 ...) seems very interesting to me. You already know that I have Infiray Finder FH35R (= Phenom 640R, with rangefinder), to observe and detect and Infiray Saim SCH50 (= Super Yoter) to shoot. This is a very great combination that is extremely powerful, but also quite expensive (2999 + 3999 = € 6998, which I managed to pay € 5950 with a 15% discount, still a lot of money ...) In your opinion, Korey, you could save by buying only the Super Yoter 35 and use it easily, with a quick release attack, both to observe and to shoot? This would represent a nice saving of money ... Or, in your opinion, is it always a botched solution, which would make night hunting too complicated?
 
Ernest, glad to see you back. It's been a while. While waiting for Kirsch to respond, I think it is entirely dependent up the type of hunting one is doing. I don't believe the method you describe would work very well for coyote hunting. Shooting from a stand or blind, or even on stalk for hogs, it might work. I can't imagine trying to put a scope on at the right place with coyotes coming to the call at full throttle as they often do.
 
DoubleUp said it well. It can serve a dual role, but I try to discourage people who want to use them as two devices when a quick change is required. Yes, a QD mount does help, and for me, the LaRue mount has returned to zero very well but I would not want to try to mount in total darkness where time and a lack of movement is critical. The more an animal is distracted, where the movement of the hunter is concealed, and the animal is most likely going to be in the area a long time (such as a bait pile), the more this is feasible.

For those that scan with the scope while mounted on their gun, the lower base magnification of the SY35 in comparison to the SY50 could help. I prefer the flexibility of a scanner. It is the last thing I would give up for my style of hunting.
