Some great info here. I'd also like to add the way an animal moves can be an indicator as well. Tonight I watched a family of 7 raccoons from my back porch 225-250 yards away with the IR Defense PatrolXR. I can say with 100 percent surety they were raccoons. That's positive ID. I knew they were raccoons by their size, their shape and the way they moved. Everything about them helped me ID them positively. Now, if I would've had the regular IR Defense Patrol, I only would've seen heat signatures. At that distance, there's simply no way I would've known what the heat signitures where without getting much closer. Knowing your quarry and knowing your gear is muy importanto!
