Depending on what you are after this unit is a fun hunt. We have hunted it in the past and had a great time watching bucks and being picky. You should be able to shoot a 170" buck fairly easy from what I have seen in the past. Has been dry all summer until this last month we have got quite a bit...
We have a rifle tag in the family, got a phone call on a turned back expo tag. Didn't even know that was a thing, but we will take it. Looking forward to getting out there, it has been a few years since I have hunted the unit. Good luck guys
Member, COZY25, shared this pic in a good POLL thread going in the Mule Deer Forum called, "In what state did you take your biggest buck?" See the POLL here...>>> https://www.monstermuleys.info/xf/threads/in-what-state-did-you-take-your-biggest-buck.188037/
Doesn't the ATN have an option for an external battery pack? I have done this in the past and it works well. I am not an ATN fan though, you will be happy with the Halo.
Trij is the best but for the money Behring optics and Halo are plenty good.
A more budget friendly option would be a behring optics scope. They are high quality especially for the price. Still expensive but like Bigbob said buy once cry once.
Anyone have any Vihtavuori N130 that they would part with? I will go through my reloading room and post what I would trade or sell also. I have quite a few powders that I do not use anymore. I have primers and a lot of 6mm leads in various sizes.
