Just a thought here, but the company I work for reps and sells Flir infrared cameras, mainly we sell them to power utilities companies and factories so they can tell if a transformer or other machine is overheating etc etc. I got to thinking, this would work for looking for a deer in some thick brush. Now it wouldn't work if the deer has been dead a long time and lost all of its body heat, but these cameras are pretty impressive and can find a heat source through some pretty thick stuff. I was thinking if you are running a high and ranch where people pay big bucks for a hunt having nice piece of equipment to help locate the animals might be worth it ( they are a little pricey, around $1900 for the hand held units) Im going to take one of our demos out this year and see just how good it works. Just a thought, anything to help hunter find their game.

I have a friend in the home water damage repair and restoration business. He has one of these cameras and uses his to occasionally find deer...or determine where the cows are prior to heading out in the mornings.
It's a great way to verify if there are any Deer around or bedded in an area you are about to walk into.
I hunted with him last week in MO, and it was pretty cool to scan the soy bean field in front of his farmhouse early in the morning and at night. Amazing how many critters are there, that we usually never see. And does a great job at finding water leaks
His camera is about the size of a typical office phone, and nice sized display... and bou coup expensive.
