How To Glass For Mule Deer, Elk, And Pronghorn
With the start of hunting season, I thought it would be appropriate to talk about how to glass for game. This is an important hunting tactic for spotting game all over the world. After all, you can’t shoot game that you can’t see. Proper glassing techniques will help you on virtually any big game hunt, but this is an especially important skill on the pronghorn, mule deer, and coues deer hunts I’ll be on this year.
Now, while glassing is much more complicated than simply taking a quick look around with your binoculars, it’s not extremely difficult to do either. However, I guarantee that on many hunts, there’s a lot of game out there you simply will not see, and therefore can’t hunt, if you don’t know how to glass. So, today I’m going to share a few tips and techniques you can do to take your glassing game to the next level.
