Has anyone tested anything like the Extech I5 or Fluke TI 20 thermal units on human size subjects out in the open and at ranges past 50 yards?

I was able to test one on people size subjects but only at 30 yards or so at a trade show.  Since I did not get to take it out to the field I was not able to test the maximum range.
I really would like it to work out to about 250 yards or so.  My main use is the monitoring of livestock and more importantly the predators that do harm them.

I have been reading this really good NV section and I did not find anything on these units.  Just thinking out the box a little trying to adapt a test instrument for field use and I can almost afford this one.

Thanks.

For that application the device mentioned in this thread is probably going to be 10x better for you, albeit a bit more $.
