[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 974190, member: 13632"] I typically don't see much mirage during prime hunting times so I don't spend a whole lot on it and concentrate on other indicators so in my area you can hear the wind in the trees change very well and I really pay attention to this. If I do get some mirage I take the scope out of focus and slowly focus it through the range to see if the mirage is consistent or switchy. Another very important thing is to know which wind to spend time looking at, the near wind is the wind that most affects your down range correction this is where that up draft will kick you in the butt if you miss it, the mid range is important in a lot of our country because that is where your bullet gets into the strong steady wind higher in the canyon or basin. The far wind is much less critical to nail, I'm at the point I just make sure it's heading the same direction then put the time in on the near wind and it's made a huge difference in my cold bore shots.
