I can "see" deer/hog sized objects 5-600 yards away without too much issue. Positive ID? Not so much.
I'd say my idea of positive is different than others. Given a little time to observe the animal movements and habits I believe I can differentiate between what "should" be a deer and hog to at least half that distance. House dog and a coyote, not a chance. |

here is a good example, the subject in these photos is approx 5'9" and it is compared to the other FLIR products on the market. I hope this helps. |

House dog and a coyote, not a chance. I can spot things pretty far away with my Breach; knowing what they are is a different story. However if you have the time to observe, if they're moving I can get a good idea at distances of half that. I've spotted coyotes at about 200 yards where I was very confident it was a coyote. But that was based on movement and observation. |
