I provide a service to cattle ranchers year around that have problem coyotes.  I also provide guided night hunts year around. I sell Night Vision and Thermal optics. The scopes I use are the NVision Halo XRF and Pulsar Merger XL50 LRF HD Binoculars

Had a couple running around my place last weekend.  It would be nice if you could shoot them at night.  Frustrating that you can't.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Why wait?  Email them anytime and all the time. Ive been harrassing them for an august 1st opener since they gave us the bear changes.  If enough people were hounding them about it, it may get some traction.

I did include the August 1st comment in my last email.  I will add the night hunting option to the next one.

You are 100% correct.  If they get 10 emails saying the same thing, that is alot to them and it gets their attention.  Then it is up for discussion.

The good thing about night hunting is your odds go up but also you can be pickier about what you take and take the larger cats that are more efficient deer killers.

Not to mention it would be real easy to notice trailing cubs in a thermal.  I actually have a nivisys thermal scope that ive never used, impulse buy.  If they allowed us to hunt lions at night i would get me an ecaller and do it, despite preferring hand calls, just to be more effective at predator control.  Just wouldnt work well with a hand call.
