Sorry if this has been asked a million times, but I recently got it in my head that I would like a good set of night vision goggles for coyote and hog hunting. I need to start my research. I don't want a crappy set of gen 1 goggles I see at Cabelas. What I would like is:
1) Monocular with head mount for my right eye (dominant), easy to see in the woods at night with possibly a very low illuminator.
2) Be able to use NVG with existing rifle, scope, maybe backing up a little from my normal cheek weld; the ranges will be 200 yards max so I'm not worried about the slight loss of accuracy. My Vortex PST is night vision compatible on low reticle brightnesses.
3) Enough resolution to be able to tell a hog, coyote, from my 5 year old wandering through the woods. For obvious reasons.
Are there good sites/threads that you can point me to for research? Any good units that you guys like for the application?
