Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Compact Spotters - Any worth carrying?

I think the ED50 is great for 1500 yards but in big country its just not enough scope.

I've used the ED50 in the area shown in the pic below on a few hunts for mule deer. This is near the Snake River and I see fellas from Idaho hunting here too.

Its over 2 miles to the opposing timbered draw. With 30x you can see critters but its tough to evaluate them. And the opposing draw is "close" compared to much of it!

Luckily I shot my buck at 50 yards.
