I was just reading this while you posted and was thinking the same thing, because he couldn't really be suggesting you just glass with an aimpont, right?
Aimpoint makes binoculars?
This year I drew a tag on my first try and it was my first mule deer hunt since leaving Iowa and from my limited experience I have found mule deer to be easier to pattern than whitetails.
It maybe different in Iowa but I grew up hunting deer in WI and in those years regularly saw the same deer on the same trail at the same time day after day. I have hunted mule deer in 4 states and one province and don't think I have ever seen a mule deer do the same trail 2 days in a row. I have not hunted them in agriculture though so maybe that's the difference. Anyway, in my 30 years of experience whitetail are way easier to pattern.
I have a Leupold Spotting Scope and a pair of 10x32 Oculus Binos. Take both? Also what is your target pack weight?
