   I've seen plenty of photos (yours?) of cammo dudes   
   sitting near "wal mart" at night. Photos are   
   illuminated by IR(?) or night amp vision(?).   
      
   If they're sitting there in the dark, surely   
   they're watching the target with something   
   other than the naked eye.   
      
   Simple NV (amplification) is pretty common. Police agencies   
   nearly everywhere have them. Civilian hunters   
   have them. I would sure guess that cammos have   
   at least the simple versions if not something   
   more elaborate like tripod mounted, high power   
   binocular.   
      
   Yet if you've lit them up with IR and they   
   haven't hid, that sure suggests they aren't   
   IR, at that particular time at least.
