[QUOTE="JustMe2, post: 2592093, member: 42494"] I'd stay away from digital or light intensification systems if shooting around bushes or trees. My 1st NVS was the best ATT digital/light-intensifier money could buy. Same as used by the military at the time. Hated it only because I hunted hogs around trees. On a totally open unobstructed field, they were excellent. Looking into the trees was super aggravating. Could not see hogs I knew were standing in the shadows of trees in the starlight/moon light and the illuminator reflected off the smallest branches/leaves that were near me blinding the scope. After years of being frustrated from not being able to see hogs in the trees, I switched to the Bering Yoter Thermal and now I can easily see hogs standing in the trees or in the open. Close branches nolonger interfere. Animals also are much, much easier to quickly spot with a thermal and seem to glow in the dark, whereas with digital scopes animals are camouflaged and hard to pick out from the background. I went with the Bering Hogster/Yoter over the Pulsar because during deer season the Hogster is small and very light weight to carry in my pocket as a spotter when approaching my stand, etc. Comes with a very good quick disconnect so you don't loose your zero on the rifle it was removed.
