Do you carry a spotter? Why? When do you use it? For what?

[BlacktailTracker]

I have a spotter now and I debating whether I should return it or not?
I have a pair of good binos already.
Are spotters worth carrying?

IMO a spotter is good to carry when scouting but I usually leave it when it's time to hunt and take binos.

Really depends on what you're hunting.

If you are just looking for any deer or elk, you probably don't need to carry one. If you're looking for specific size bucks or bulls, it's a must have imo.

I personally would not hunt without one.

I'm generally looking for 3 pt or better blacktails and mule deer.

From the truck/sxs yes. Packing in nope

Depends on terrain. Could be my middle-aged eyes but I cant always see antler yes/no, big/little with 10x binos even at pretty normal glassing ranges. I got back from wyoming this fall and immediately traded in my “Id never carry that anywhere” spotter for a “I would bring that” spotter.
