If I have missed your point, then you have also missed mine....The Op considered that a thermal gave an unfair / unsporting advantage over those hunting without one. IMO it does. My point rephrased regarding a dog is that a dog requires a lot of work to train, care for and exercise, - hundreds of hours.
If all those hundreds of hours were instead spent just hunting, that hunter would actually shoot ( tally up ) more animals than the hunter with a dog. A dog is more than just a tool that needs its battery charged, it is a companion more than an advantage.

Frankly your point was hard to miss.. but it has no bearing on what I was saying....

After all you sort to qualify my comment, not the other way around.
