Thermal Scope

I have some dogs but me wife is afraid they'll get hurt or they'll run after the coyotes and something will happen.
I am not sure what dogs you have, but the livestock guardian dog breeds (Great Pyrenees, Anatolian Shepherd, Caucasian Shepherd, Maremma, etc.) are bad arses. Sorry, it is not what your thread is about. I am fascinated with them.
I bought the DNT 635R. Thanks for the advice.
Excellent! I am looking forward to your review and success.
 
On the brighter side:

You might want to try some high output LED lights with motion sensors. I've got them all around. My dog will easily trip them. When he walks down the yard at night, the whole property lights up. They stay on for about 10 minutes and then they reset.
 
I've had a 25-384 rattler for a few years now. I recently bought a demo Agm v2 19-256 clip on for $600. I use it in front of a mk5 2-10 and a nxs 2.5-10. I just use them to keep the coon and fox populations in check from time to time from my deck.

If you don't know animal movements and shapes then positive Id with either of these is 150-200yds+-. In all reality id'ing a deer is easy out to 400+ yards.. but telling the difference between a dog and a coyote (especially if a dog breed is similar to a coyote) is more difficult. That's where knowing body language comes into play.
 
I'm happy with my AGM Varmint V2 35-384. The LRF works well and the 35mm objective allows a nice base magnification for those ranges. I can ID the difference between coyote & deer easily (based primarily by size & behavior) at those ranges, also.

Any canine running around my livestock at night, no need to differentiate the species.....oh well. And my dogs will be with me.
