Re: High Country hunting help

The best thing to do is to get deep into topo maps and satellite images of the areas you are looking into. This sounds like a new area to you, so if I was you the very first thing I would do is call the local biologist in the area you are looking to hunt. Talk to them about specific types of habitat...

Re: Packable Spotting Scope - suggestions

I actually have been pricing out the Leupold's as well as the vortex's. There is lots of good choices out there but I would hate to make a bad choice when spending this kind of money. I have a some odd needs as I need a super powerful scope to see the areas I hunt and I also do mostly pack-in style ...

Re: Literature for a new mule deer hunter

I dove into muley hunting a few years ago and the best books I can recommend are Hunting Open Country Mule Deer by Dwight Schuh and Public Land Muies by David Long.

I have looked in the forums and saw post's about spotting scopes but everybody usually has their mind made up on two similar scopes.
