BEAVERTON, Ore. — Leupold & Stevens, Inc., introduces the LTO (Leupold Thermal Optic) Tracker, a hand-held thermal observation and game recovery tool, one that no hunter should be without.

With its state-of-the-art thermal imaging engine, the LTO Tracker provides exceptional image quality, fast 30hz frame rates and detection of heat sources out to 600 yards.

“We see thermal as a vital tool in any hunter’s kit, just like binoculars or laser rangefinders,” said Tim Lesser, vice president of product development for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “For observation and recovering downed game, the LTO Tracker will help hunters find success in the field.”

The hand-held unit features a 21-degree field of view and offers a 6x digital zoom. Five different thermal filters allow the user to choose the view that’s most beneficial. With more than 10 hours of continuous use from a single CR123 lithium battery, the LTO Thermal is up to any challenge. A user-controlled reticle allows the user to pinpoint a thermal source.

Nothing is more frustrating than making a stealth approach to a blind or stand, only to spook a bedded buck or flush some roosting birds. Using the LTO Thermal, hunters plan their walk in to their stand or blind with minimal risk of scaring off game.

Where legal, varmint or feral hog hunters can use the LTO Tracker to identify where the pests are located, leading to more successful control efforts.

Even perfectly place shots sometimes fail to drop a game animal on the spot, so hunters can now use the LTO Tracker to follow their quarry’s heat trail to more quickly and efficiently recover the downed animal.

With a fast start up time, powerful sensor that’s effective from -4°F to 140°F, and waterproof to IP67 standards, the LTO Tracker is always ready to go. Built in the United States, the LTO Tracker is another in the long line of Leupold’s rugged, durable Gold Ring^® products.

Day or night, wide open fields or dense brush, the LTO Tracker will help hunters anywhere in the world find success in the field.
