You can get a 256res AGM Taipan these days for about $550. To bump up to budget-ish 384res is about double in price. Some would say that you might find yourself using the scanner for other chores than bloodtrailing, in which case the extra $500-600 may be money well spent. If not, the $550 unit is still pretty capable at closer distances. I tend to use my scanner during deer season a fair bit on morning hunts before daylight, as it lets me locate bedded and moving deer to be watching for when shooting light arrives.
