[QUOTE="dug, post: 2833291, member: 9523"] If your hunting under 200 yrs about any thermo will foot the bill and most rifles can shoot flat enough for well placed shots. on the WY prairie i need more range so a big better faster thermo was ideal with a rangefinder built in. Pulsar unit i have works well and ranges stuff so that makes those long shots possible with first shot hits. Hogs are very easy to ID with thermo so less expensive units work well. Thermo scanner and NV would be my choice. Coyotes are hard to ID and i spend a long time studing body language before shooting. Domestic dogs will run in on a caller as well as coyotes. Having both NV and thermo helps a great deal with coyote ID. if i had one complaint about pulsar is battery life , i mostly use mine for scanning as well so its on most of the time im in the field . spare battery solves the issue. But it takes 45 secs to change out and some noise,movement to get it done . i sacrificed not going on a guided hunt last fall so i could spend the 6K for the unit , i used the scope alot over the winter and many coyotes fell to it , no regrets. if you need to see better with NV scopes. Buy a powerful IR light , its really more about the ir light than the scope itself. [/QUOTE]
