Nope. Literally.

Just closed on 48.5 acres. Prev owner said she has been pulling problem yotes off the property periodically. Need to add a nightscope to the armory. NOT looking for the best of the best tougher than navy seal version, just a basic NV scope for coyote hunts.

Suggestions?

Just get a PVS14 to mount behind your favorite red dot.

I know this isn't what you are asking for, but it seems what folks are using. Seen the question on other forums.

I read about these long ago. It is a light that projects a color beam the coyotes can not really see. Mounts on top of the scope.

or amazon has good reviews on these

I've personally used a predator light on a standard 3x9 red field scope..... Makes it look like a night vision scope, and eyes light up nicely. I could make out a white tail at 125 yards perfectly. Much cheaper alternative compared to a true night vision scope.

Host a shoot/hunt and people can bring out their PVS14/thermals/etc.

I'm needing more than 100 yds to road test mine, it's decent in an urban environment

Still hauling crap to the property. Gotta paint the inside of the house this weekend before all the furniture goes in. Set up the house for function...

Then taking a break to spend time shooting on my own property. :) I am about straight north of you Kazoo. I will have you up to try your setup this summer.
