I picked up the 16x48 spotter and vortex carbon summit tripod from optics planet for $1,000. This was back in september. I negotiated a little bit with them.

Wilderness areas are a good bet, just be prepared to deal with meat in hot weather. If you want to get a general season B tag that is good for archery and rifle you need to
Make the purchase early, like in July. There is a limited number of tags and anymore they sell out before the season...
Bag is plenty long enough, but I can barely get it zipped around my shoulders. The bag is certainly well made, and pretty light considering its size and temp rating.

I am six foot and 300 pounds. I have the zero degree long wide side zip slick bag from kifaru. It is very difficult for me to close the zipper fully. I am looking at maybe doing the quilt thing. Center zip might be easier to use for a bug guy.

Your explanation makes perfect sense. Sounds like the rotating body is a must have. How about the fine adjustment feature on some models, is that really usefull or is it just a gimmick? My experience with a spotting scope is limited to a 10-20x40 leupold compact mounted on a monopod.
I think I am close to getting the ok from the boss to make a spotting scope purchase.
What do you guys think about the Leupold gold ring 12-40x60 vs the vortex razor 16-48x65?
Are the HD scopes really worth the extra money? If anybody has experience with both the straight and angled versions I...
