[QUOTE="Country Bumpkin, post: 1559775, member: 92230"] I used to look down my nose at guys looking through Bino’s on a tripod (“silly rascals”). When I bought a pair of Leica 15’s I quickly realized that I was the limiting factor in the relationship. I used my cheap vortex tripod and, as has been said numerous times, it was a game changer for me. It completely changed the way we hunt. We used to sit and glass off our knees for 15 minutes, quickly “picking apart a hillside”. We’d spot a few does, pick up our gear, hike to the next vantage point (which was silly because we could see the next spot just fine but we thought we needed to get different angles or minutely closer). We would hike miles and miles each day during the daylight. During mid-day we’d take naps, play washers, anything to pass the time away when “nothing’s moving”. This year we stayed put for anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours picking apart an area before moving on. We couldn’t do it any faster because it took that much time to rule out ALL OF THE DEER WE WEE FINDING!!! We have hunted this same area going on ten years and have never found so many deer. Bedded, feeding, thick timber, brushy hillsides, 50/50 snow/earth hillsides..... we found deer everywhere we looked. It was incredible. I will NEVER hunt without my tripod and 15’s again!! I too use an Alaska Guide Creations harness/bag. I love it. Wish I could afford to step up to an outdoorsman tripod but my Wife’s jaw is still on the floor from the Leica’s. [/QUOTE]
