Hey Everyone .

Here's hoping for tight lines and lots of slabs all year!

Quick question. I know a lot of you are hunters and outdoor enthusiasts in general. I'm looking to buy a spotting scope (not one of those $1K scopes) to look across the lake and on the lake at various wildlife. We're talking maybe about a half mile or slightly less across the lake.

Do any of you have any suggestions for scopes that will best help me check out the wildlife out there? I'm thinking a budget of no more than $250 tops.

Thanks.

Bruce
