I borrowed a buddies Iray RICO 50 last year and went out several times with my uncle. It's a ton of fun. Hunting with thermals is.... different. I can't tell you the last time I've missed a day time yote but that's not the case for me night hunting LOL. I need more practice.
I just bought a RIX Leap3 and it's awesome. Love the simplicity of the scope and the optical zoom is nice!
If I had had to choose between day hunting and night hunting I feel like I prefer day hunting but night hunting is a blast! Definitely call more in at night.
