[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1648532, member: 6291"] Lots of $$$ mainly.:) you looking at a couple grand to get in to base model thermal stuff. Thermal is detecting heat. It can be very awesome and it can be a useless with fog or light rain. I've shot hogs and coyotes just the same with my $1K N750 as with my buddies $5K thermal. The great thing about hunting at night is animals really let their guard down so you shouldn't have to make very far shots. I rarely shoot over 100yds at night unless I'm purposely playing around. Avg shots are 60-80 yds. With any optics you are paying for zoom and clarity. The more zoom and clearer picture the more expensive it gets. With a lot of this high end nv and thermal these guys are chasing the video quality to post on youtube, not functional clarity. Like I said, I can shoot a raccoon at 100yds with a 1K scope just as easy as a 5K scope for practical purposes. The 5K scope makes a lot better youtube video though. [/QUOTE]
