Bruce,
The only ones that may be able to help you are in Texas. I wish I could hunt at night, and always wanted too, but you can only hunt coon at night here with a single shot .22 if you are using dogs. I guess they just don't trust the good 'ol boys from LA. Probably with good reason though
It is even illegal to shoot a hog in a trap at night here. You have to sit and wait until legal daylight.

I don't have one myself but I know someone that has one of the lower powered ones that is supposed to be good out to 100 yds. They didn't like it at all. I think they had a poor quality scope on thier rifle so that may be why they were unhappy with it. I think it would work fine if you have quality optics.
I used to shoot nutria rats at night. I took a ratchet style welding band and mounted a 12v aircraft landing bulb to the top of the welding band with a big hose clamp. That thing will shine well past 200 yds. Nowadays I use it for bowfishing/bull froggin.

Legal here in Maine to shoot predators at night certain times of the year.

I see the ones that are suppose to work out to 100 yards.The one I'm looking at is more powerfull and suppose to be good out to 350 yards.
