[QUOTE="meathead, post: 44200, member: 613"] I was finished with my timber hunt for Elk or whatever and was driving the dirt road out of the mountains where it opens up to sagebrush and grass hillsides. I stopped and decided to glass for Mulys. It was about 4:30pm and the sun was down behind the mountains, sky clear and about 15 degrees F. I was glassing the eastern slopes and right off the bat I started to spot deer. Nothing to get excited about, just does and one forked young buck. The buck was with one doe on one high bench, and four does on a closer ridge. I decided to try lazing them. The Leica gave me instant readings on the buck at 1134 yds. I took three or four reading ON THE BUCK and got the same reading everytime! I switched to the four does and got 849 yrds and 851 yds several times! To bad I was packing the 338-06, as there was a dead calm so the little buck was doable with the long range rig. Oh well [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] Anyway, I am impressed with the Leica and would like to thank everyone on this board who recommened it. [/QUOTE]
