Night Hunting

[Clark]

I may be shooting deer for a good farmer friend under a depredation permit. He has them on camera mostly in the wee hours. There are houses around so noise is a factor. My usual 270 and traditional scope are not well suited for night hunting or limiting noise.

Any recommendations for an appropriate setup for night hunting deer? Hopefully without breaking the bank. Thanks!

At what range do you expect to shoot them?

200 tops. Probably ladder stand. They are coming to a planted field.

I had really goood luck with the ATN X-Sight scopes. For 'cheap' digital night vision, they are very good quality.

and a suppressor of course.

We use x-sight, 556 soft points and sico omega. You can usually shoot several in the same field before they understand what is happening.
