Thermal optics have become increasingly popular among hunters, law enforcement and military professionals due to their ability to detect heat signatures in complete darkness, adverse weather and through smoke or fog. As technology advances, these optics are becoming more compact, feature-rich and while still pricey, are much more affordable than they were just five to 10 years ago. The lower costs and more versatile technology are making them a more possible sought after tool by hog and predator hunters, as well as for possible home defense scenarios.
