After checking they told me that is says in Alabama Regulations 220-2-.02 section (e) it is unlawful to possess any equipment that uses electronics to increase the ability to see in the dark while hunting any species of wildlife, both protected or unprotected species. So I understand that a lot of people use them, I just wondering how many know they are unlawful to use or if they are in there state ?
I would hunting and training/competing are considered different ? You are not using the thermal to take the coon, just find it. In Ohio they’re 1000’s of folks using thermal scopes to shoot coyotes. I would think me using a thermal monoculture would be ok, but I never checked the rules myself.
