[QUOTE="Sako7STW, post: 741055, member: 2112"] I use a grid pattern where I go in a up and down pattern moving from left to right. when I go as far out as I can I move, say a tree, from the right side of my view to left side. Then I go down (or as close) as possible and go back up to that tree agin. Find a new object that is now on my right side and move it left. And on and on. I too like Toddc said use different glass. When gridding like in my example I almost aways am using a tripod or car window mount. so every once in a while I stop and eyeball it over then glass it with my 8x Bins then on to my 15X Canons or back to my Spotter. I will also switch things around and grid in different ways and directions. The big mistake I see most make is giving up mid day. When the sun is on one side of the tree the deer is laying under is now on the other side, the deer will often stand up and walk around the tree to either stay in the sun or stay out of it. Sometimes this will cause them to move to a second bed as well and you might spot them in transition. I spot more elk at 11 A.M. than just about any other time of the day. [/QUOTE]
