Default RE: Generation II Night Vision Monocular

meyerske,

I finally got a chance to check out the night vision. At my cabin, there is a clearing out to probably over 40 yards. All lights were off, so it was dark except for starlight. I figured that with the monocular, you could tell if a deer was a buck or doe at that distance of over 40 yards, unless it had a small rack. I don't mind holding onto this one, but want you to know that if you are in the market for one, generation II is a good balance between clarity and expense. Also, be sure you are going to use it a lot if you get one. These are the kinds of things that people don't think is worth the effort to bring on top of all the other stuff they take to the stand with them. It is pretty light and small, but just another thing to worry about, and isn't useful unless something comes close to you in the dark or near dark.
