The best hunting spotting scopes are those which have the zoom eyepieces and are very easy to carry. These two features can easily make sure that you have the best experience with the spotting scopes.
Spotting scopes are nothing but modified telescopes which have smaller magnification range than the telescopes but more than the binoculars. The binoculars that as a hunter you use have a very limited magnification and the spotting scopes can help ease this restriction and they have magnification in the range of about 15-45 or 20-60. The spotting scopes have an image which is upright whereas in the astronomy telescopes the image is reversed.
The spotting scopes are best used in conjunction with the normal binoculars and other optics. The normal binoculars will allow you to see the nearby animals however with spotting scopes you can spot a deer in a herd very easily. The challenge however lies in the span of view. The bigger the magnification the smaller is the field of view and that can cause can issue when you are using the spotting scope for the first time.
The spotting scopes have a very large magnification which means smaller field of view and that in turn can cause you to only see the target and nothing else. Because of bigger magnifications you can also see the haze, fog and the mirages very clearly. That is why the best time to use the hunting spotting scopes is early morning and late evening when the air is calm and the sun at your back.
The design for the spotting scopes is either straight body or the angled one. The straight body has the barrel and the eyepiece in a straight line whereas the angled one has these two pieces at the 45 degrees angle. Based on your needs you can choose either one.
The other major thing to consider is the ease of carrying and you can select one based on whether you will be carrying it in your back pack or not. If you are not carrying it in your backpack then you can easily buy a heavy one whereas if you are carrying it in your back pack then you need to buy a smaller eyepiece scope.
Always buy the tripod as the spotting scopes are heavy and you just cannot hold them in your hand. You can a buy a window mount if you intend to use them while driving in your truck
