Optimal Mule Deer Optics Setup

[Hnthrdr]

Sweet, I’ve still found a spotter handy for mid day picking things out in the brush/timber gaps. If I had a set of 14x nl lures that’d likely all I’d bring but I think that’s a year out.

For sure my Md glass set up is ATC and NL 12’s. ATC is great for looking cross drainage into shadows midday ect and getting a better idea before bombing off on a mile plus trek

As long as you aren’t trying to really field judge over a mile or need to see a frame closer to 2 miles it’s a great set up, saw your stated goal, that would work great. Heck you could probably leave a spotter at home if you are looking for any deer

Also, yeah we have 5 days is all. Then on friend is coming from KC, I’ll pick him up in Missoula on my way out. That said, as long as it isn’t a fork, we’ll be going for it lol. I’m honestly not a huge mule deer guy, but we drew the veteran tags so hard to turn down a $36 nonresident tag lol

Yeah that exactly what I’m looking for.

Preference. I like how easy it is to go back and forth with my binos and how the straight stores in my pack.

With the Kestrel ring it can rotate, but I don’t use that a ton…..but every time I switch from binos the appeal of a straight spotter immediately is clear.

I’ve never had a straight spotter, and I’m not sure why I even like angled, but this certainly seems like the best reason for straight. The only benefit I see to an angled for my hunting is running the tripod lower. I honestly can’t think of another good reason but still want to buy the Atc lol

It’s really nice to digiscope with, which is why I primarily bought angled (kids have easier time seeing it). Not sure I’d do the same today…..

The stc is superior and I have a big angled, the stc has the same hinge point as your binos which makes it super easy to switch back and forth and stay on target.

Yeah makes sense. I may give the stc a try instead. Thanks for all the help everyone
