Semi Live Backcountry Blacktail Hunt 2019

thats a lot of glass for an area where you cannot see more than 50 feet in any direction

i know it is different in some areas up high... so i am only sort of kidding. I am curious how much use you actually go out of the spotting scope.

I glass all day and use the spotter all the time. I usually glass areas that are from a few hundred yards to a a couple miles. I wouldn’t go into the Alps without a spotter.

You get a pic of this monster Doug? Would love to see him.

I tried several times, but it would never focus well through the spotter well.

yah once you get up high where the trees are thinner i can certainly see it being effective. The biggest problem i have with a spotting scope up in those elevations though is it allows me to see into areas that there is no way in hell i could get to.

That it does, but if you find a big buck you will find a way to get over to it.

Especially a 150" blackie!

I will be back there in a few weeks to look for him. I will give him a week after the opener to settle down and then hopefully make a mistake with me nearby.
