To spotting scope or love life?

[WRO]

The fov on the ATC makes me love that spotter, generally fov is why I hate spotters. But yes Binos are always easier to look through.

I love my STC, my 95 is sad in the safe since I got it most of the time.

This is a no-brainer. The people saying to
keep it all USE their spotter. If this post was in the general forum, and you didnt ID what the gear was, but simply asked “i have this piece of non-safety gear that Ive used twice in the past 4 years, and I have a stand-in that does 80% of that that I use all the time, would you get rid of it?”…is there really anyone that would answer anything other than “if you dont use it, dont bring it”?

This… emotions are controlling the decision. Either positive idealized/romanticized perception of using it and the flip of negative remorse/fear of selling.

OP said he used it twice in 4 years. It appears that he really wants to love it, but actually doesn’t.

The scoreboard says he won’t use it in the future.

Those who use a spotter apparently have a completely different approach to hunting. Seems like their “must have a spotter” creates a doubt in OP.

Those like me who don’t use a spotter hunting apparently have a method more closely aligned with OP.

I was in this situation with guns I never shot and gear in would never use. The mental/psychic energy keeping it wasn’t worth the money I freed up to buy stuff that I actually use and love.

Spotter has saved me a lot of hard miles over the years. And I like digiscoping a lot now.

One question for the original poster. How much are you gonna sell your spotting scope for? Fatrascal.

Things happened fast. @hereinaz talked some sense into me. I posted it this morning for 2,500 and willing to negotiate. It’s near perfect condition Swarovski ATS 80 HD
