Gen1 stuff are the only things in my price range...are they worth getting or should I just wait until I can get later generations? Who uses them for coyotes?

I have a Gen 1 nightvision device ,
it's not the best image quality , but it's ok for general game viewing .

I am not sure of your state , but in Ohio you are to have a white light beam visable for at least 1/4 mile . This messes up night vison scopes , I tryed unless you point the beam straight up
