Kevin, not sure if you watched the video. I wasn't scanning with the scope other than trying to find the coyote that was already behind the brush.
Skeet Jones who's land we were on was using a PVS7 goggle and scanning with my lightforce with the IR filter over the end. To him it was like any other night hunting trip other than scanning with a more narrow field of view. It still worked..
I was waiting for him to give me a signal something was coming in. The one thing that we could have done better since I had no goggle was to have him with a laser pointer or something so he could show me the position of the animal. I had no way to detect them other than to get in a general area and look for them.
In that video, that coyote was less than 150 yards out and covered that distance that fast. How would I have mounted the PVS14 on the rifle that fast in the dark going from scanning mode to shooting and be able to re-acquire the target in the time it took me to shoot it?
Having both goggle he was wearing and scope allowed me to concentrate on one task instead of two.
I think the overall key is landscape. What may work in some places isn't going to work in all. I wouldn't take a corvette to a Baja race no matter how fast it is.
