[QUOTE="Double Naught Spy, post: 2303078, member: 55410"] Thermals don't care if it is day or night. That is 100% true. I have done a goodly amount of daylight thermal hunting over the years, but for hogs, that isn't my most productive time. However, I will often start an hour or so before dark and if hogs come out in daylight, it isn't a problem. With that said, there is a period of time called thermal crossover when the heat of the ground and vegetation matches the heat of your targeted animal and the image may not be so perfect. This is mostly a warmer weather issue and usually happens in the evening just before sundown. Technically, it should or could happen twice a day, but I have only experienced it in the evenings. It is usually of short duration and generally will not be an issue for most hunters most of the time. Thermals with better thermal sensitivity will be less susceptible to this issue, but I have experienced it with thermals from several brands. The better the thermal sensitivity, the less of a problem this will be because the thermal crossover will be relegated to a more narrow range of heat that the thermal sensor will have trouble discerning.
