Thanks for the advice. I'll give optics another look today and should have some time to get something off line before the hunt. I havent seen the location where i will be hunting but from what i hear i probably wont have a mile visibility so i probably wont need something like the 300 dollar optics.

This is my very first hunt ever. I will will also be taking my rifle but will not take it out with me the first day. I will be using this to get my feet wet so to speak. There is a lease looking for members not too far from my house. Its 1K acres and they only want 500 bucks for the year. I didn't want to pay the money and get out there with only what i have seen from the outdoor channel.
