My state is going to allow night rifle hunting with lights and NV equipment starting in December. Up till now its been moonlight and shotgun only. Not really what I wanted to do.
What is the best (cheapest) way to go to get in to thermal gear. Any brands better than others or models of scopes? I read an old post that talked about a hand held thermal scanner to locate and then switch to lights for shooting instead of a dedicated NV scope. Is that still the way to go?

I just realized I posted this topic in the wrong forum, Leonard. Can you move it?

Don't matter .............. 'bout three posts and we'll be off topic (as per posting guidelines) anyway. I don't know squat about night stuff. You might also try one of the Texas Hog Hunting sites. They might be able to suggest something since they do a lot of night shooting.

Yeah, I can move it. Where do you want it, NIGHT HUNTING FORUM?
I have not used thermal, except for locating a down animal at night, just NV once in a while. Visible light works fine, if you know what you are doing.
Good hunting. El Bee
