Hey guys. I have a question regarding scanning with a handheld thermal like the pulsar 19a vs a low intensity headlamp like the night eyes. I know it seems obvious that the thermal is the best solution to get light shy yotes to commit but I wonder how great a chance they will instead see your movement scanning the field with the thermal back and forth and choose not to commit just the same. If you instead are hid behind the light glow of a headlamp to allow some scanning movement along with getting your gun on target would that not benefit more in closing the deal. I would be using a night vision scope to shoot with so a very low intensity scan light would be all that is ever shined into the field. Do you think a light shy yote would feel that uncomfortable with even such a low intensity light? I was thinking it would be about like a full moon to them if anything. I'm thinking the benefit of being camouflaged by the scan light though may outweigh the no light at all. What do you guys think? Any first hand experiences?
