Hunter Attempts Impossible Shot w/ Next Gen Thermal (1280x1024) | InfiRay Outdoor RICO HD RS75

In the first part of a multi-part series Team iRayUSA and Night Crew's Chris Robinson introduce the InfiRay Outdoor RICO HD 1280 RS75, the first commercially available 1280x1024 resolution thermal sight ever created.
Can Chris take a coyote at 500 yards, or farther?
Find out the real capabilities of the RICO HD as the team puts it through the ringer and pushes it to it's limits.
The Rugged Infrared Compact Optic(RICO) HD RS75 is the first commercially available 1280x1024 resolution thermal sight ever created. You read that right, the legendary thermal image quality produced by a High Definition(1280x1024) thermal sensor is finally commercially available to night hunters in the form of an advanced weapon sight. The RICO HD RS75 has an incredible 1,310,720 pixels processed by InfiRay’s proprietary MATRIX III algorithm to create an image so clear, it is almost unbelievable.
It’s been more than a decade since the leap from 320x240 resolution to 640x512 resolution thermal sensor technology, but the inexorable advancement to 1280x1024 resolution has been approaching quietly in the background. As night hunters we have always wanted more performance out of our optics, but the problem was we couldn’t do that with existing technology which had reached its limits. Through years of research and development by an engineering team of over 500 devoted to sensor innovation, InfiRay Outdoor has unleashed the capabilities that night hunters have only dreamed of.

Why hunt coyotes?
Coyotes are presently the most abundant livestock predators in western North America, causing the majority of sheep, goat, and cattle losses. For example, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, coyotes were responsible for 60.5% of the 224,000 sheep deaths attributed to predation in 2004. The total number of sheep deaths in 2004 comprised 2.22% of the total sheep and lamb population in the United States, which, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service USDA report, totaled 4.66 million and 7.80 million heads respectively as of July 1, 2005. Because coyote populations are typically many times greater and more widely distributed than those of wolves, coyotes cause more overall predation losses. The United States government agents routinely shoot, poison, trap, and kill about 90,000 coyotes each year to protect livestock.
Coyotes typically bite the throat just behind the jaw and below the ear when attacking adult sheep or goats, with death commonly resulting from suffocation. Blood loss is usually a secondary cause of death. Calves and heavily fleeced sheep are killed by attacking the flanks or hindquarters, causing shock and blood loss. When attacking smaller prey, such as young lambs, the kill is made by biting the skull and spinal regions, causing massive tissue and bone damage. Small or young prey may be completely carried off, leaving only blood as evidence of a kill.
In the absence of hunting pressure on coyotes practiced by rural people, urban coyotes are losing their fear of humans, which is further worsened by people intentionally or unintentionally feeding coyotes. In such situations, some coyotes have begun to act aggressively toward humans, chasing joggers and bicyclists, confronting people walking their dogs, and stalking small children. Non-rabid coyotes in these areas sometimes target small children, mostly under the age of 10, though some adults have been bitten.
