If you whoop out the thermal and dont find the coon it’s a automatic minus strike and tree.

Dang right, as it should be, no coon equals minus points. Lol. Dave

They already have a rule. If you whoop out the thermal, you are scratched.

Last year a friend of mine showed me the one he owns...never seen one until then and it was phenomenal...it cost about 6000 bucks...one of the first things I thought was...it would be an excellent tool for competition coon hunting...

The one I was looking through had the ability to make everything cool look white and the higher heat object look black...but by far everything cooler black and higher heat objects to glow white...awesome technology

I agree. Now where a thermal doesn't work is if a coon is inside a den tree and not close to the hole. But I agree if you look through the thermal and don't find the coon and don't find a hole it should be minus both ways. No relying on circle points. Its either there or its not.

Hunters should be able to use any technology they have to assist in locating the quarry....I say quarry, because some of these pot lickers are not after coons 80% of the time....lol.

I'm a firm believer if it is there you can find the coon a very very high percentage of the time. The best thermal imager you can have is the dog snapped to your leash. No amount of technology gonna help ole slick
I can see it being useful if allowed in night huntd

i am all for using it,but still have to see it with naked eye.but if all cast members say it is ok,then has to be used on every tree made not just by 1 person dog.also must allow judge to use it.

If you've ever been on a cast with another handler using a thermal you'll definitely understand that..............









It's not a big deal.
