You took the words out of my mouth Torleif! But, I am always curious how many people take total strangers advice as to the "where and when to go hunting" haha. Nice pic's Torleif and I doubt you took any strangers advice on a forum to be successful!
The Vortex High Country seems like a solid tripod for $110 clams. I plan on using a Zeiss Diascope 65mm and the vortex looks like it would support it, any thoughts. The spotter is in the mail now and I would rather not drop a couple hundred on a tripod at the moment.
