My first thought was as an aid in recovery of an animal it would be an awesome tool.My second thought was on a day that I was convinced there wasn't a deer within a hundred miles of me,this item would help me confirm or negate my thinking.My last thought is that it goes to far and that some things should remain a mystery or be left to the power of experience and wisdom.
As an aid in recovery for permitted enforcemetn officers I would be for it.Other wise it takes to much of the hunting out of hunting.

I'd like to do a fly over on some of my hunting properties with a police helicopter equipped with that technology. I bet you could learn a lot about bedding areas. I would like to do a fly over(something I have thought about a lot)but I doubt I ever would actually try and buy one of these products. Come to think about it I wouldn't mind just doing the fly over with no technology other than a good camera.

So you guys are saying if you had one you would only use it to retrieve game and scout? Come on you know if you had one and you were out hunting it would be with you cause you would just die wandering what would be there if you would use it! Its kind of like Pennsylvania saying hey you can use your bow at night while spottlighting, and I me saying well I will use it only when hunting. Sorta I guess ....you get my point[&:]

LOL Steve! ..And I thought I was the only one that did that!!! I do it when I'm fishing too ..

I wonder how many of you guys that said ban it, use game cameras, food plotsor bait

I think it would take the hunt out of "hunting", and I do use a trail cam at times to see what "might" be in my area when I hunt. JMO

I think it would be a great recovery tool. I wouldn't use it to take the animal, though.

Come to think of it, this would be a great tool for finding trespassers!

I watched a hunting show the other day the guys had IR scopes on there rifles huntings hogs....I thought it was cool idea...I think they said the scope retailed for $13,000...It was an outfitter in TX I believe....I would never use it on deer, but I feel it would have a purpose somewhere and time, like for hogs and yotes

It might be nice to track with, but I don't see where it would help me any in a hunting situation. I mean I don't see where it would help me actually shoot an animal unless it was mounted on my gun as a scope or something.

If I had one, no I wouldn't use it to actually hunt with. Looks like it would be a bigger pain in the butt than what it would be worth.
