Night vision

[tac0]

Hello fellow nwfa members, I am new to scopes and I dont know much about night vision, I want to be able to hunt coyote in my backyard at night. The problem is I don't want to spend $3000 on a night vision adapter so... What are my options, a friend told me all I have to do is buy an inferred light and install it on my gun. Is this true? If not please reply with anything helpful.

An infrared light aids an already-installed night vision device/scope. Alone it is worthless.

This is probably the best bang for the buck in Night Vision right now. Gen1 buy it gets the job done. Has a light on board.

IR light is not visible to human eyes.

I don't hunt, but use spot light or flash light with red filter, it will not alarm predators.

Honestly, Using a weapon mounted flashlight would serve you better than any Gen 1 tube stuff. They can claim 75 yard visibility all they want, but all you will be able to see is pupils.

I disagree, although I am no night vision expert admittedly. I have one of the Yukon Gen1s and it shows a pretty clear image out to 50-75 yards. The point is remaining covert as the shooter, the game doesn't get spooked. Or of course SHTF there are those advantages; a bright light giving away your position.
