1. Advantages of Night Vision Scopes
1. Provides more detailed images
1. Clearly distinct features like branches, leaves, and facial features
2. Amplifies available light
1. Moon, starlight, or other minimal light sources at night
3. Optimal for open areas while hunting
4. Night vision devices consume less power
1. Longer battery life up to 36 hours
5. Compact and lightweight
1. Easier gear to carry on longer treks in the wilderness
2. Advantages of Thermal Scopes
1. Functions without needing light
1. Identifies heat signatures
2. Detects heat through dense fog, smoke, dust, or even foliage
1. Tracking animals out in the wild can be easier
3. Great for long range tracking and long distance hunting
1. Tracks targets from longer distances
4. Easier on the wallet
1. In many cases, the cost range of thermal is lower than night vision
5. Optimal for hunting in an environment that has brush
