I Elk hunted last year in Colorado and I'm going again this year to same ranch ( private) shot range from 175-500yards, glassing range 400 yds - 1 mile, i do have bino's the Leoupold BX-4 10x42 which i love.
I think I want a 15-45x 65mm spotter, and yesterday I booked a Moose hunt for 2022 the first question is will this class spotter be satisfactory for a moose hunt ( northern Ontario from boats)? shot range will be shorter per outfitter like 75-250 yds on avg. however glassing range will be across rivers and lakes so 1/2 mile to mile or more possible.
I am still thinking about the Athlon Ares or Maven CS-1 as my primary choices once I can look thru them personally, second choice would be Leupold SX-4.
My question on all of them is how waterproof are they in a hunting situation? I think hunting from a boat is going to present different challenges like waterproof, and on what tripod to use?
From my old days as a photographer i have some old Bogen (manfrotto) tripods but they are heavy and i suspect too tall for a boat but right size for when we are on shore, what has everybody else used in these situations?
Thanks
