VEOs for me
yep looking at some spotting scopes and bipods to get the glassing game down. those high desert areas are big and those deer can sometime see ya far away.My goal is to learn to use longer-distance glassing much more. And to add several new areas to my list of target areas to hit. I learned last year that the govt idiots can throw a big monkey wrench in your plans if your plans are based solely on a particular location. So going to work on diversifying the number of areas I can find that show promise. So I have options.
Think I'm going to try to learn more about the occasional Muleys I jump every now and then in the Open Country Desert Hills spot I sometimes make the drive out to when trying for yotes. In early spring/summer I've come across freshly scratched-out beds once I crest over this first tall ridge that takes a bit to climb up and over. The Does I've been seeing are nice and healthy, not scrawny/thin so I figure once I finally get to where I can learn where a couple of buck hangouts are now that I've got better glass, I should end up seeing specimens that are more impressive than the other thick place where I rely on sitting and waiting in ambush.
This will also require be becoming more familiar with taking longer range (for me) shots. Getting in some practice in quickly figuring out where on the BDC marks to hold for some of the in-between distances which are between the main reticle marks.
And definitely re-committing to *successfully* taking my first yote.

Msailor, do you have to be military to hunt at CP? I checked around and wasn't able to get in.Going to hit my stomping grounds on Camp Pendleton and a tripod is a must have. Used one this year for the first time and man what a difference. Also need to practice those long range shots too.
