[QUOTE="packgoatguy, post: 2452552, member: 27192"] Thank you for your insight. I think it would be awesome to be able to tell the difference between a hog and a deer at 350 yards, however that is well beyond the capability that I need at this time. Primarily, I would need to be able to identify and shoot out to 100 yards for rabbits and coyotes. I added the additional range capability of 200 yards for coyotes, merely because that is the range at which they tend to hang out at behind my house. But, for 90% of our hunting needs, 100 yards will be adequate. As far as it goes for my longer range scouting needs, all I need the thermal to do is show the heat from an animal or object at longer distance. I dont need enough clarity to be able to identify the object at extended ranges, as this use will be exclusively during daylight hours, and done in conjunction with my spotting scope. Basically, I would scan the hillside with the thermal, then if I see a hint of heat that could be a critter, ill glass it in detail with my swaro. I just need the thermal to tell me where to focus my attention, not any detail beyond a couple hundred yards. [/QUOTE]
