This is my first post here, but I've reading the threads here for about 2 months. I can tell you might be able to help me out a little bit. I've been hunting coues for about 10 years and have been able to harvest 2. Both in the last couple of years. I'm starting figure the little guys out. Heck it took me 8 years just to get a shot at one! I thing that have learned about is glassing. A couple of years ago I bought a good pair of 10x42 binoculars that have increased the number of deer that I'm seeing know. However, I still think that I could be seeing more if I had a spotting scope. I have a couple of questions:
1. Do you think a spotting scope is necessary? I hunt in canyon country. A lot of up and down and both of the deer I have shot I glassed up and then had to take 200-250yard shots.
2. What do you look for in a spotting scope?
3. What spotting scopes do you recommend? I can't afford a Swarovski, Zeiss, etc. I'll need to take out a 2nd mortage on my house for and divorce my wife!
4. Back to price...I looked at a Winchester ($200). It was a 15-60, small and compact (packable). Does anyone have any experience with this model?
Sorry I'm so wordy! I'm just trying to gather as much information as I can before I buy. Thanks for helping out a newcomer and good luck this fall!
