Do you use your optics in a way to maximize success? I grew up hunting mule deer sitting on a cold rock in late October waiting for that magical buck to walk into my little valley. I wonder how many I missed as I sat there watching the sunrise and glancing around with my naked eyes. Time has gone by and tactics have changed. Increased pressure and decreased numbers force today’s hunter to enhance every skill in their tool kit. Proper glassing is one such tool every hunter needs to perfect.
