Dual binocular/spotting scope setup?

What is the benefit of binos vs mono other than ease of packing around? If you were glassing valleys and canyons, do most prefer the stability of a spotting scope on a tripod over shaky binos? Or is the thought to deal with the instability for easy of hauling around a pair of binos?

Sitting water for archery mule deer wyo

Definitely worth sitting near a water hole. I've seen a lot of bucks get their early morning drink on. The big fellas do tend to be off the beaten path for water in the evenings.

Hi all, I drew 1st rifle for unit 62 as a newbie. I've scouted a fair portion of big Dominguez Canyon and areas West of Wagon Park. After 17 miles on foot and another 20 in the truck looking for open trail heads, I found a few decent areas with lots of poop around dried up water holes. My...
