[QUOTE="wapiti13, post: 102202, member: 2212"] Dink, It depends on your hunting methods. Not as important for elk, but necessary in open deer country out West. You can not hunt deer in the open spaces like you do back east where shots are usually closer. Your Leupold scope is not bad, just a little low in power, but would probably work for locating deer. Just wouldn't be as good for trophy estimation. Lots of guys use the 25X version of your scope. You do need a good lightweight tripod for your scope. Hike to a high point and sit for hours looking for your deer. Especially important to get there by dawn to catch deer out. After they bed, you can plan your stalk. Good luck.
