They just don't like to stand still very long and are never predictable and like to come in from the least expected points."         I would think that the OP is hunting out of some kind of stand and could have a tripod that is heavy enough to support what ever "high" power optics he has, that is the way they do it over these beanfields etc. I am a hunter  and am not that stupid to think that wild animals just stand there.This fellow could locate a group of bucks with  his 10x Swaro and then look at them with a tripod mounted medium power Swaro or  high power 80mm+ spotter to see points on deer that could be  feeding and in no hurry. When I say high power I mean something like 20-30x not 75x etc.  BTW if I had the money and the time off from work I would take you up on your offer of a hunt.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> I agree about the Swaro would be easier and more comfortable to use I just don't think it is "laughable" to use a 80mm+ scope in this situation. BTW I hope this fellow does get the big Swaro and comes back to tell us how he likes it.:t:Best regards,Steve</blockquote>
