Now that would be a good use for Night Vision.

Coyote. It's what's for dinner!

I would love to have both a suppressor and NV gear for just that reason, though I can't imagine it would suppress my 30.06 much.

I bet the coyote didn't know what happened either.

Not trying to make light of your topic - but toy section of my local WalMart carries the "EyeClops" night vision thingie. About $50. Doesn't mag light but does use infrared light with it's monoviewer. Might help in dark house to see without being seen.

I believe there is a place for night vision for home SD. At my family's acreage we have a pair of night vision binoculars. Mostly for viewing critters. However, we have used them once to monitor a questionable group who was walking along the road and stopped in front of the house very late at night. Was a good way of keping an eye on them without letting on.

They keep looking toward the house / cars. Don't think they noticed us in an upstairs window. He have several flood lights and we played a card and turned on the one that was aimed at them. They quickly ducked down, so we just turned on every outside light and gave them a quick blast of the siren. They took off down the road, got into a car, and took off. We called LE.

So now my family sounds crazy, night vision, flood lights every where, and an old police siren. However, there is a lot to be said for each of those items. The siren was a replacement for a bell that was used (back when it was a farm) to call people in for meals but also as a warning if something was wrong at the house. Was a good idea then, and we figure now.

It is possible it was someone we knew thinking about playing a friendly prank (there was a rumor that was the case), but no troubles (friendly or otherwise) since.

So in summary, out in the country, I think there is a value for night vision SD. Closer to city living, assuming the power is not out, I would just hit the lights or get motion lights.
