I have developed a coyote problem on my land and need to get rid of them. I am considering getting a night vision or thermal scope, but don't know much about them. I would use it on a 223 bolt gun or possibly an AR. I live in a climate that is hot and humid most of the year, and often foggy at night and in the early morning.
I would anticipate all shots would be at 150 yards or less, probably more like 50 to 100. I would do most of my hunting in woods, and around the edges of open fields. I would like something fairly compact. I would rather not break the bank. I do not really care about some of the features that some scopes have, such as bluetooth to phone, video recording, etc. I just want a scope that can let me see in the dark so I can kill the coyotes.
Will I be better served with an IR nightvision scope or thermal? What are some good choices to consider?
