I am using a Pulsar Xg50 LRF. I've used a bunch of different brands and models, really good friends with a big thermal dealer. Nowadays they are all really good, you can't go wrong. Pick a budget and buy one. 9-10k thermals are definitely better than 2k ones, but 99% of people are shooting them within 200 yards, with the majority being 100ish, and a regular 384 resolution with a LRF will do the trick any day of the week. Pick one with a 2.5-3x base mag. Maybe more if that's your cup of tea, but 3x is perfect for me. Every click of magnification essentially halves your resolution, so the more zoomed in you are, the more blurry the image is. This is where high dollar thermals come into play. I can clearly ID a coyote 1000 yards out. Regularly am making 500 yards shots this year with much more success I thought was possible.
Why hunt foxes? Chickens?
I've heard good things about it. I'm usually a chassis guy, so we will see.
So to be 100% honest, the first one I got I had no clue it was a fox. Now, I have learned the body language and can differentiate them. But yes, neighbors have chickens. I don't think they are very aggressive towards anything else, but I wouldn't put it past them to hop my fence and eat one of my Dachshunds. I'm also kind of filling up the basement/mancave with mounts, and fox mounts in my opinion look awesome.
Yes, I have 4. All Minis, ill find a pic of the a-holes.. they are probably the main reason I have so much coyote activity because they bark at literally nothing.
My mom just got a long hair male mini last weekend.
I'm patiently waiting for my shithole state to allow us semi autos again. I miss building new ones. Free tax $ the state desperately needs so they can go blow on useless shit.
