Everytime if I just bought a nice oneHaha. Seriously though like I was talking to you about I have trouble glassing for long one eyed so I'm running 15x56 instead but I completely realize that means I can't check the shadows as good or score an animal from as far (but I'm not a trophy guy at this time) so I'm leaving a bit on the table. But as long as the freezer stays full I'm happy for now. When my motivations change and budget allows I'm sure a nice spotter will find its way into my gear pile. Whether that ends up being a 15-30 compact, 15-45, 20-60 and what objective is all TBD for now.

I try to bring a spotter with me most of the time. Since 2012 the only spotter I had was my 85mm 4+ pound Zeiss Diascope. Its a pain to carry at times and sometimes I question bringing it but generally glad to have it.
However now that I have the new 55mm spotter from Kowa and comparing it heads up to my 85mm Zeiss....for most hunts that weight is a factor the Zeiss is getting left behind especially if its not needed to determine the legality of the animal. Deer, bear, caribou, and mountain goats would all qualify for that. I do like having the big/little spotter options now for sure, now that I have found a little spotter than is actually worth hauling around.
Been awhile since you did an optic write up, think it's about time now that you have the 55mm Kowa![]()
