Robby hosts today’s Rokcast. He covers high-level glassing for big mule deer, and touches on Travis Hobb’s recent episode, “Your Angled Spotting Scope is Holding You Back.” here
Robby also covers a popular thread in the optics subforum, “Zeiss Victory SF Review,” here recently renewed by Rokslide member B_Reynolds_AK on the superb performance of the Zeiss SF 32 mm binocular platform. He makes the case that the SF bumps up against the venerable Swarovski NL 32s. Blasphemy to some, but go check that thread yourself. You can also save some weight and save some money by jumping on that thread.
Robby also gives a scouting update: two trips with zero deer sightings, but another trip with six bucks spotted and a shooter! Kind of expected in the years following winter die-off.
He goes on to explain the concept of Scout Big Hunt Small here and why plan B doesn’t always mean switching areas.
Rokslide’s Best Hunt Photo contests are now live for Mule Deer, Sheep, Elk, and Whitetail on our hunting forums here
Sponsored by Kryptek, Stone Glacier, Kifaru, and First Lite, members stand to win thousands in some of the leading gear in the industry including three Kifaru ARK frames with bag of choice, $1,000 in the Kryptek Store, a Sky Solus 1P Tent, and the First Lite CORE Jacket and Bib. Photos must be from a 2024 hunt and don’t necessarily have to be grip ‘n grin photo.
Finally, Robby jumps into his extensive glassing chapter in his book, Hunting Big Mule Deer. He covers glassing technique from archery range to five miles. If you’re glassing for big mule deer, this episode is for you.
