It better be alive, doesn't he find it with thermals? You know how fast that heat signature is going away after a critter is dead when it's cold?
Lmao. I love his posts.
Sorry to post this cause I don't like the dude.
But animals retain heat a long time, hours, after death. We use and have used thermals to find them.
I MUCH prefer our dog. But thermals can work and hours later too.
That said lots of things block thermal from working too.
Down south I was amazed, that cactus flat block it. But after thinking, they are full of water that heats up during the day, it takes a long time to cool. Not even sure if cooled thermal could see through it.
Like I said not really relevant but there it is. Its how I find wounded hogs here at night to finish them off cause I ain't risking the dog on a live pig.
