I'm more impressed with the 8 hours sleep. I'm lucky if I get 6 a night.

Just my 2 cents and worth the price charged.

I got to my vantage this morning by moonlight. Getting through some of that lava rock was a chore. Temperatures are a little cooler this morning with 5-10 mph breezes
Going to be a good day!

I just watch someone blow a stalk on a mule deer buck. He moved WAY to fast. He had him at 30 yards and the buck didn’t know he was there. The guy kept moving left and right real quick looking for a shot. If he just would’ve been patient that buck would of been done.

My spottter just took a chit!. I pulled it out of my pack and the focus dial broke off. The micro dial snapped which holds/sandwiches the big dial on. Going to have to Jimmy rig this one . At least it’s a Vortex and they’ll replace it but that does me no good right now.

Someone just let off a rifle shot not to far away! There is no rifle season here right now. I think somebody is cheating haha.

C’mon Vortex, you can do better than that! Until their lifetime warranty includes drone delivery into the field, it doesn’t mean a whole lot in a situation like this.
