Conversation this morning a question arose about military heat identification technology from low flying aircraft Is that a possibility ?

It’s available for aircraft including helicopters. Trick is that with deer, bears, etc., blocking objects (boulders, trees, etc.) and a very smart prey they would have a hard time using it effectively.

As the one Freeper suggested, I wouldn’t be surprised if he hasn’t set up an ambush kill zone for a “final exit”. I personally wouldn’t be clomping around the woods with those clowns; however, a small team of experienced SF, Seals or Rangers would be a much better and safer bet.

The Taliban had that figured out and used low tech counter measures like hiding among and on rocks that had heated up during the day.

It's probably already being used. It's infra red, it's called forward looking infra red or (FLIR) on gun cameras. A small camera can also be used on the ground.

Not until the leaves fall in another month. The foliage up there makes tough work for a FLIR camera.
