Hi I am somewhat new to hunting, this being my third year out. This year I am hunting in the Wasatch Mountains here in Utah, where as the last two years I hunted the flat desert. It seems a lot easier to spot moving animals in the desert than it is in the woodland mountains.
I know a lot of you guys long range hunt in mountainous areas. Can you offer some tips on how you spot animals in the mountains?
Do you glass the deep pockets of the canyons or the side hilltops, what time of day do you glass? Do you glass the thick timber or the open meadows? etc...
By the way I use my 8x30 binos and my Leupold 12-40x60 spotting scope to spot. I mostly use the binocs unless I spot something that needs a closer look.
