Sounds like thermal might be the better choice for you.

Quoted: I’ve been drooling at the thought of night vision and I think I want thermal. Is this a good idea? Would be for possible coyote hunting and just for fun looking into the woods. Next, what’s out there in a moderate budget. I’m not cheap, but I’m not going to blow a fortune on one. Also, I see many can record. Any recommendations? A lot depends on what distances you want to see and engage at. While thermal is great to detect and NV best for ID and navigating while head mounting. With thermal you'll also have to get your prey closer to positive ID. With thermal on the gun only also requires you to point your gun at everything you want to look at which can be very tiresome at times. Price will also play into the thermal game with moderate pricing for a 320-384 system while tje 640 systems command a much larger investment which leads to the bottom line question of what is your total budget? Feel free to PM me, our sister company NightGoggles also has some good economical themal choices as well. Hope this helps. |

NV is best for navigation, thermal for detection, and what you shoot with depends on need. For coyotes specifically, a thermal scanner and a thermal scope are hard to beat. The exception is if you have a huge concern over potentially shooting a fox or medium size farm dog. The bigger the issue of that possibility, the more you may want to look at NV. For me there is almost no issue or consequence of this took place, so I use thermal for both.
If you just want something to walk, hike, drive, etc then NV may be just what you are looking for. This video is from my last coyote hunt. I shot 4 coyotes on one stand. I was scanning with thermal, and shooting with the new Super Hogster from Bering Optics. Night Goggles has these for sale and they are a great value for coyote hunting.  Four Times The Fun |

What about the brand ATN? I’ve seen their stuff is cheaper but are the any good? I guess thermal would better suit me, maybe to a range of a couple hundred yards
