I posted yesterday concerning the combination of rifle, scope and ammunition and receive excellent advice from many people. Most suggested that in order to increase my chances during the hunt, I would need to get a spotting scope. After talking to everyone I could find at work who had an opinion about spotting scope optics, I thought I would ask for opinions concerning what the people at work said. Some suggested a large 20 x 60 x 80 scope (such as the Vortex Viper series). Others suggested that I wouldn't need such a big scope nor do I need the weight to carry it (suggesting a 20 x 40 x 60 model). Another person (an older gentleman) suggested that I don't need a variable scope and that a fixed scope (and he suggested a Leopold Gold ring 25 or 30). I am new to the state of Utah and have had three days of experience hunting mule deer so any advice will be very appreciated. Thank you.
