[QUOTE="gamehauler, post: 281903, member: 9720"] I can tell you did allot of thinking on your wording And I believe you did a fine job:) A lot of variables to be considered about what to carry so I am having a very hard time making a reply to the topic. When I am going to be in a ground blind or tree stand for Archery I only carry my inexpensive Nikon 10X25's For ALL of my other hunting I have my Swaro 10X42's. If I am packing in some ways it depends on the terrain and which gun I will be carrying. I may only take my Swaro 15X56 if I don't expect to glass over a mile or so since I can get a good feel it it is worth checking out at a closer distance. If I need to cover a larger area the Swaro spotter is in the pack. We will not even go into tripods and doubler's in this forum. Now,:rolleyes: back to where I think Len was headed with this topic:) We do allot of team work hunting in AZ meaning MORE than one person spending allot of time behind GOOD glass. If I am not the shooter and do not have to pack the rifle I am fully stocked with all my optic since we never know. So yes I hunt only with my optics and enjoy it. I was hunting,,:) and my hunting may have harvested an animal. ?Would I only hunt with optics and not a gun? Not right now but as my body ages I may be limited to that. (DANG:cool: THE EYES ALSO ARE FADING) Anyway, if I can not pound the hills I pray I can help another hunter to harvest the trophy of his dreams:) [/QUOTE]
