    Easy to order, easy to use.

     

    Tell them:

     

    1. The phone you have

    2. The Optics you have

     

    Decide if you want one that fits your optics, or one that is adjustable to fit all optics. They come in two pieces. the case that your phone snaps into, and the piece that slips over the eye cup of your optics. Those two pieces connect to each other. Easy to use. Great product.

     

    Enjoy.

    Really funny to hear that I'm not alone..... First off, I love to help hunters in the field. I do a lot of scouting and as I meet folks, I usually ask them if they are meat hunting or horn hunting? If they are meat hunting, I will ask them for their phone number and tell them that if I see anything i will text them and give them a heads up. With that said, there are some folks that are just dumb as a stump and are beyond help. Last year, I was hunting a ridge I like. For a few days I had noticed another hunter on a parallel ridge to the east. He spent the majority of his morning and afternoons standing in the middle of the road on the ridge and only glassed the tops of the opposite ridges... don't know why, if he did see a nice buck, it would have been a 1000 yrd shot. One day a really nice buck busted out on us and headed into a wooded area on the slope away from where this guy was. After some time, we expected that this wise ole fella could have doubled back and headed down the west face of the ridge we were on. To cut him off, we headed up to where this guy usually stood around. We had not seen him, and thought he wasn't there that afternoon. Unfortnately he was there... so when we got to the top of the ridge, we went the opposite way from where he was to see if we could catch this ole crafty buck moving.... we didn't. We decided to go over to where this guy was and appologize for coming up on him. He was not a nice fella and when we asked how he was doing, he told us "Not all that good, you guys spooked off a big 5x5 I was watching all morning... I was like really? I have seen you up here for several days and all you do is stand around or sleep on your quad? How you see that so called 5x5.... anyway, we left. The following morning, I went back to my ridge.. this guy was in the same spot.... around 1 pm, I saw a really nice 3x4 (no including eye-guards) about 100 yrs below him. I headed up the ridge I was on to get a better look at him. When I decided he was a shooter, I was like I cant shoot him with this baffoon there. So I stood in the open on a big rock.... glassed him and when we looked my way, I started waving at him. He got PO'd, got on his quad and left. I moved down my slope facing and took my buck at 275 yards.

    Some sound advice from ylclaret (JIM).... Just to add. A lot of bucks that feel secure in the hills also like to spend their nights in the flats. The smarter bucks will start moving towards the safety of the slopes just prior to the crack of dawn. If you can, position yourself where you can catch them as they start to creep into canyons or the slopes. They will feed along the slopes up into the ocatillo line and bed down during the heat of day. They will start their trek back to the flats in the afternoon.

     

    Best advice... get the best optics you can afford. I can't tell you how important a good set of optics are. Where I hunt, I talk to hunters every day during the season who tell me they were out all day and didn't see anything. I actually hunted the same area one of those hunters did the same day and glassed several bucks and over two dozen does.... I know you said you have 15x, but make sure they are quality optics.

     

    Good luck this year.
