[QUOTE="lazyMlazyK, post: 422337, member: 1697"] Anyone here use a thermal or IR monocular for scanning in the dark? Trying to get an understanding of what I might be getting myself into as far as cost for what I expect to be able to do. After a half-mile hike into my ground blind yesterday morning at 4:30am, I settled in and started hearing a strange sound that I couldn't place. Got home and googled it, and I'm about 99% sure it was a mountain lion "chirping". Real weird. The deer at this area aren't showing up later in the light of day yet, so hunting here later on wouldn't make sense. I'm trying to learn what it'll cost me to see decently well a couple hundred yards away in the dark, be that with thermal or IR. Anyone here familiar with either of these technologies, especially the handheld scanners? [/QUOTE]
