Hi All,
What do you sacrifice or not when it comes to bringing optics on your backpack hunts?
Can you share what type of hunt those choices are for?
This year for CA deer and WY cow elk I ended up going ultra simple, leaving the small spotter/tripod at home using my trekking pole with my 10x42's. Had a great year, spotted a good number of elk 2-4 miles away and thankfully filled my tags. That said, I were a number of times I did want for more magnification with the binos, so am going to try 15x56's this year and bring along a light tripod, but still forgo the spotter.
Curious how many are leaving the spotter at home and for those that do, how many are still bringing a tripod?
Cheers and happy 2020 season!
