Ha ha ha...I hear ya. Maybe we can work something out.
Yeah that's what I have concluded from my research of thermal imaging scopes. It's been really frustrating....my setup is such that I can shoot hogs out to 800+ yds off my porch. All of our shooting takes place at night because it's rare to see a hog during daylight hours....except in the winter. I have lighted bait holes on a sendero we shoot down but the lights are solar powered and not very bright. The scope I use on my rig is a NF ATACR 7-35 X 56 with illuminated reticle. The problem is that when I have the reticle set on the lowest illumination setting it is still too bright and makes it extremely difficult to see the hogs at that distance....especially when they are dark colored hogs. Other than that I love the scope.
If the hogs are light colored I could make 800 yd shots. Black or red hogs....which is what shows up most of the time....forget it.
Yep...that's what I've been working on. I still haven't found a solar charged light that is bright enough. I've even tried a 12 V atv light bar hooked to a car battery which works great but is impractical.
