WELL DONE, LANCE ... & FAMILY Within the shadows, move softly. (Long-time member; somehow I was 'lost' after have logged 10,000+ posts.)

Agree with ALL comments on the 'Wow' factor. Mr. Jack O'Connor said it, "You can tell the big ones, .... because they Look Big". Within the shadows, move softly. (Long-time member; somehow I was 'lost' after have logged 10,000+ posts.)

As was said, 'Mule Deer Are the Best Critters on Earth'. Despite the low number shown on my posts, I've been a long-time mule deer hunter and long-time member of this group....... somehow I got deleted and am just restarting. The 'SECRETS' to hunting mule deer are to do all the typical...

Big Ol', I've NOT known of your accident/physical issue before but I, too, congratulate you on your outlook ................ not to mention your good fortune on the draw. (Despite the current 'count' on my posts, I've been a member for a LONG time. Somehow, my profile was deleted, along with...

I can't comment on the budgetary components but YES, Meopta is far better optically. Within the shadows, move softly. (Long-time member; somehow I was 'lost' after have logged 10,000+ posts.)

I AGREE!! And.... YES, Ron, some of us DO scout. It's (almost) as much fun as the hunt. BUT then .......... despite the # of posts it shows for me............ I've been on this site for years, although I've never asked for info, because I 'play' outside all the time. SOME ....... admit to...

EXACTLY Within the shadows, move softly.

The deer is more than 'good enough' for me on an archery hunt. HOWEVER, I would not shoot at that distance, because I'm not a good shot. I'm GOOD at 'sneaky', so I'd try to cut the distance in half. Within the shadows, move softly.

CAN I? Without a doubt. WOULD I? Not if I had any real confidence in finding the bigger one. I WOULD take it, if I had had a chance to hunt some but not during the first 5 minutes, if I believed in the bigger one................ LOOKING and ANTICIPATING is a Lot more fun than carrying...

Vortex IS a good binocular for the price. Also look at Pentax & Nikon. You do NOT NEED a rangefinder. I (either pulling the trigger or 'guiding' family & friends) have been there when we killed well over 400 deer & elk. Yeah, I'm that old. I killed a lot of deer before I could afford binos...
