Dark Night Outdoors
Dark Night Outdoors, based in Milan, Illinois, makes accessories for thermal, night vision and infrared optics. These are the small parts that fix the annoyances hunters run into on real nights in the field: a focus ring you can't feel with gloves on, screen glow on your face, a battery door that pops open in the brush.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Dark Night Outdoors located?
We're in Milan, Illinois. Everything ships from here to US addresses with free shipping on orders over $399, and orders sent outside Illinois pay no sales tax. Real people answer the phone at (309) 781-8421, and they use and know the thermal and night vision gear we sell.
Is it illegal to own night vision?
Owning night vision is legal for US residents. Using it to hunt is up to your state, and some states restrict which animals you can hunt at night or with what equipment, so check before you go. Night vision and thermal also carry export restrictions, so we never ship outside the USA.
What is the best thermal imaging scope for the money?
The right one is the scope that matches your distances. For hogs in timber, a smaller lens and wide view do the job; for coyotes across big fields, step up in resolution, lens size and add an LRF. Whatever you choose, DNO eyecups, focus levers and battery protectors make it easier to use at night.
Is it legal to own a thermal camera?
Yes, in the United States you can own a thermal camera or thermal scope. The limits are on taking or sending them abroad, because many thermal devices are export controlled. That is why Dark Night Outdoors ships thermals and accessories to US addresses only.
