[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 819057, member: 12443"] good article but somewhat lacking in my opinion. supporting the glasses on a tripod isnt an option for extended glassing sessions its a must. im not implying the article said it was an option but i dont feel it was stressed strongly enough. for those who feel otherwise look at your watch before you start glassing. when your arms become tired enough to stop glassing look again at your watch. remember also your now not hunting. even a walking stick upon which you can mount glasses is a large plus. if theres more than one person dont be starting in the same area. determine where each will start glassing first. it speeds up the process of finding game. a few years back a guest joined my son and i at our nc pa camp for bear season. the first day we went to a spot we had to walk to to hunt. it was about 20 minits for them but almost an hour walk for me. my son and our guest both carried rifles. my son had his tripod and large glasses in a pack and the guest had hand glasses. i carried only my large glasses and a tripod on my back. when i arrived at the lookout it was well past daylight and they had been glassing. i sat down not more than 5 ft from our guest and set up my glasses. i looked at the direction their glasses was pointing and aimed mine at a different area. it wasent 1 minit till i said i have a deer. the guest looked at me as if saying your joking right. he then said where? i pointed and said right over there. it was just about 400 yds. the deer was laying down and pretty much obscured by laurel. i had no trouble picking it up as i scaned slowly past it. he however couldnt find it with his hand glasses. i had to walk him to the deer by pointing out objects he could see. had it been a buck and a week later how would he have felt? next day late in the afternoon the same thing happened on a hillside right opposite our camp. my son found a buck laying in a hollow and partially hidden at about 800 yds. this guy couldnt be led to the deer this time. my son finally said well look thru my glasses. the guy stared at that buck till dark. but guess what, he has since spent about $1200 on a better set of hand glasses. proving the old cliche about leading horses to water.
