Sounds like a question for your local officer. Tennessee did just approve night hunting with thermals/night vision and electronic callers last year. Only negative is it's with shotgun. You may be able to get some type of permit saying otherwise though. I think it opens on Jan 18. I help a buddy in Mississippi with his predator issues and it's some of the most fun hunting I've ever done.
Interesting.
We put the call right on top of us. Almost felt like self defense.
I've heard that. I had a coworker tell me he actually got nervous because they came in so close and so quickly.
Me and a buddy experienced the same thing. You can kill them easily with turkey loads! He's been hunting them in Georgia so he's pretty good at it.
I use a thermal monocular. It's expensive to run a monocular and weapon mounted thermal but it's a game changer not having to stay on your weapon thermal to scan.
Do you have any recommendations or experiences with any? I'm looking for a high quality one- either a monocular or gun mounted scope. Thank you.
I personally have AGM 640 resolution thermals and I've been very happy with them. Guys I hunt with use either AGM, Pulsar or Iray. It really comes down to personal preference like anything else but try and get your hands on some different brands before you actually purchase one. Several new ones came out at shot show last week that look very good.
Thank you sir!
I contacted AGM about this not long ago. Different manufacturers have different specs but mine can withstand approximately 36 foot pounds of free recoil energy. They recommended using this energy calculator.
Try Tacswap for deals second hand. Kenzies optics is a reputable dealer and in GA. There are so many thermal options out there now.
