Thanks for the advice. We will be hunting on the southern end of the Rincon mountains. I went scouting recently and those deer are going to be hard to find. On a good note though, the four of us (i have the only tag) all have quality optics. Swarovski, leupold, Zeiss, and Nikon just to begin with the binos. We have one awsome swarovski spotting scope and a fair Burris spotting scope that we will carry with us at all times. I will be shotting my new 257Wby Mag. If you havent shot one yet I'm telling you it is scary fast and extreemly flat shootingas well.

Wish me luck, Couse deer are tough!!!!!!!!
