Winner is @danemadden! Congrats dude! Thanks to everyone who participated in the giveaway!

[@kennykinder6221]

This new vortex optic would be perfect for black bear hunting. Lite enough to not weigh down the pack while hiking in, strong enough to find a bear at distance and not add additional unnecessary weight when packing out the meat,. You need room, and every ounce counts but not at the sacrifice of performance. West Virginia in November 🐻

[@travishisted9087]

Spotter would have been perfect on my bear hunt last week - 25 miles of deadfalls and underbrush - a little glass could've me helped me find a bear!

[@nlneal4227]

My boyfriend Lucas and brother in law Rey ran into you in AZ. You put them on a deer, yet they still missed.. they NEED these!! Would love to surprise them!

[@DialedinHunter]

Awesome!!

[@case_m]

Elk archery for sure. It’s the perfect size to keep your pack weight down but still powerful enough to glass big country.

[@outwest.hunters]

The new vortex scope would be so sweet for archery elk hunting! I never want to carry a full size scope so that scope would be money!

[@br_turtle8246]

That spotter would come in handy on any hunt for me as I currently don’t have a spotter. Honestly that think looks awesome and everything I’ve read it’s a game changer

[@Storm_walker13]

I'd try and find a way to Utilize it in every hunt applicable and scouting also. Great video I actually rescued a black bear cub this spring after a giant male killed it's mom. Longer story than that but this is your channel lol. Man look at that beautiful country side God blessed you. Beautiful shot, anyone else see that bullet vapor trail?

[@amarotovar7256]

Huge fan bro, iv wrapped by head around what u once said, “be comfortable being uncomfortable” this year packing in backcountry in 27, that new Razor will be quite the tool for Bear hunts compared to my Razor 85…

[@jimsumption9525]

I'd think that would be about the perfect spotter to take into the unlimited sheep units. The handful of times I went in I carried the 11-33x50, this one would be a welcome upgrade.

[@cjolson7948]

The new vortex scope would be perfect for a fly in Caribou hunt. Need to keep it light for the ride in and out, but want the performance to make sure you find the perfect caribou, to bring home and to help remember the hunt of a lifetime. Great video once again!!!

[@ericwiemann9186]

That spotting scope would come in handy on my and my sons Desert mule deer hunt In December. We just moved to AZ so it will be our first time chasing deer in the desert.

[@Scotty_Mac921]

Spotter would be clutch for a down south AZ Coues hunt! 🤘🏼

[@BigJohn505]

My wife was drawn for Barbary Sheep on Ft Bliss this year.. That spotter would be perfect to find her a nice ram! Congrats on getting your bear on the 3rd shot! Very cool looking bear!

[@evanmcfarland6232]

Backpack Archery Coues deer hunting!

[@trussell2505]

We do this stuff for fun. Is so true, even during a hard pack out. That new spotting scope would be great in my pack for next years solo, high buck hunt in my antler restriction unit.

[@jamers2502]

That spotting scope would be perfect for my Idaho spring bear hunts as well!

[@ryanlorenz561]

That new spotting scope would work great for my upcoming elk hunt in some big country out west. Awesome film!

[@ripplij]

That mini spotting scope sure would come in handy on my unit 22 grey ghost hunt this October. I have always wanted one but never had wanted to pack in one of those giants. Great Vortex is offering awesome glass in such a packable package now!

[@stevenwright5619]

Would work perfectly on archery bull/muley hunts! You the man Josh. Always enjoy your videos!

[@michaelmaggio5915]

Hey man. I'm going on a bear hunt in Idaho in the Spring and that spotting scope would be perfect for me. I enjoy your films and hope to meet you one day. Thanks, Mike

[@rubenramos9525]

I would use it for all of my hunts because I haven’t bought a regular spotting scope since I spent all my money accumulating the rest of my gear. BUT the forest is so thick where I hunt that you couldn’t see too far anyways so a small spotting scope would be ideal since I would be focusing on little pockets at shorter distances so anything bigger would be excessive

[@austinneice4699]

Getting after the OTC bull elk tag in Idaho! Filled my first tag last year and have had a long 10 months to think about getting after it again! 2ish more months to go, couldn't be more stoked!

[@joelternes2691]

That scope would come in handy on any hunt! From spotting whitetails here in Wisconsin, to the mountain tops glassing elk or mule deer. I just got back from North Dakota that spotter would’ve been awesome on that hunt! Great video man, I have to get out and chase a bear one of these years. That’s one I haven’t done yet!

[@ryangarver4638]

That spotting scope would come in handy on my and my sons Elk hunt In December. And its also his first elk tag. So hopefully we get two down. he’s definitely getting the first shot though.

[@Corrupted_Aurora]

Hi dad

[@ramblersedge]

Another great film! I would take the spotter on the Idaho spring black bear hunt I have been dreaming about.

[@j.r.w6623]

Has quickly become my favorite KZbin hunt show, just got back from my first montana muley hunt and before I just seen this video already had a spring black bear hunt in mind this pumps me up nice shooting josh!

[@DialedinHunter]

I SO appreciate that! Hope you had a good hunt in Montana!

[@j.r.w6623]

@DialedinHunter I did man! Pmed ya some pics of the trip on fb keep the vids coming josh good shit

[@nathanbetancur5770]

My buddy has the January deer hunt and it'd be a great help finally having a spotting scope on that hunt. Will also come in handy for every hunt to follow we draw!

[@rogerrowland9887]

That would really help reduce the eight in my bag for my high country mule deer hunt! I’m in love with the razor I currently have the full size 85mm but it’s an absolute HOG!

[@HillBilly_Outdoors]

I would use it on my Sons first deer hunt this year in October.

[@BlueshirtBrownpants]

Holy moly fun stuff. Would love you use that scope to spot buck antelope in October! Thanks bud.

[@claytonhoy3297]

That’s a lovely little scope! I’m packing tonight for my upcoming washington state high buck (blacktail) hunt with a side of black bear! That would be an excellent hunt for that glass; but I can hardly think of a hunt it wouldn’t be good on! Heading over to the NE of the state early October for the overlap of muzzleload whitetail and muzzle elk!

[@nickwysocki5311]

Be handy on any extended back pack trip but I’d say it would be absolutely perfect for my NM sheep hunt. Thanks,

[@andrewjmcgarvey]

That mini spotter would be perfect on an elk hunt!

[@johnnymathisjr3469]

The spotting scope would come in handy on my December late rifle hunt for couse deer here in southern Arizona

[@prestonorozco5564]

To shed some pounds, this would be awesome on back country elk hunts in eastern Oregon!

[@user-td4io4ce7w]

Congrats on a great Bear! Awesome film, you put out great content.That spotter would help in me my Blacktail deer hunt.

[@JSmithHunter]

Great video and nice bear! That spotter would treat me well on my solo Colorado OTC rifle elk hunt, allowing me to go deeper than everyone else!

[@Psalms73.25]

I’m getting more into long range rifle hunting so that would be awesome for shooting practice. Also bear hunting and elk hunting in southern idaho next year 🤙

[@stacybudwright8082]

Thanks for the opportunity to participate in your giveaway. This would be helpful in all my hunts. But more importantly 2023 late Archery OTC Deer. I have a nice tripod that I use for my binoculars yet I have no Spotting Scope at this time. My Girls would have full access to this and would aquire a new skill. Good Luck Everyone. \m/ Wright-On

[@konnerrussell8902]

Could definitely use the spotting scope for archery white tail hunt in Kansas

[@jamesmooney5348]

For me, that spotting scope would work best in my PNW black bear and black tail deer hunts in a 5-8 mile back pack deep hunt

[@gwhunt1023]

You’re even gooder than I thought after first seeing your videos… A key to Argali offices? Dang! Only the worthy shall enter. :). Great stuff, as always!

[@bryanearnest6262]

Great stuff man. That size spotter would be perfect for a backcountry Coues deer hunt..!!

[@nathanielmelton780]

I have 2 mule deer hunts put west and that will be perfect. The most perfect!

[@sebastianbullmoose]

The hunt that it will be most handy on: The hunt for finding my arrows I sent past the backstop at the range lol

[@intothetimberoutdoors8746]

What a color phase black bear congrats. I would use the Vortex spotter. On a hunt with my uncle who is a disabled vet with one eye sight in one eye. With the low magnification of the spotter would be like using a set of binoculars. Thanks for your consideration on the giveaway.

[@andrewgonzales7682]

Great video. This spotter would be great for my 2 boys' first youth deer hunts and wife 1st coues deer hunt.

[@Bredsun]

That Razor is perfect for my late season mule deer hunt. Low weight….many miles.

[@kellennaizer]

Honestly that spotter could go on any hunt! At that size and weight it wouldn’t be a burden in the pack whatsoever. Wouldn’t hesitate to throw that in my pack on my Elk, Deer, and Black Bear hunts. Thanks for the opportunity to win one!

[@spffishing2903]

Spotting hits at the range, and archery deer hunts

[@jts510]

2nd archery elk, New Mexico!

[@NicMallo]

Drew back on a giant Whitetail just last week for the archery OTC in unit 27. Unfortunately, the wind took my moment of victory. I would use the spotter to try to pick them up again this winter and put the hammer down.

[@NicMallo]

And as always, great video

[@inspirednorthwest]

Beautiful country, awesome hunt and congrats! Would use the scope on all my hunts, it's so compact and light, why not just have it on you all the time!

[@jamesfarmer3058]

I just spent a week in NM hunting black bear and then rode mules up above 12,000 ft looking for bighorn rams with a friend of mine who has a youth hunter coming for a hunt this week. Wow that Vortex would have been great to had in my saddlebags and been so helpful for judging some rams 😊👍👍👍👍

[@royaloutdoors3984]

I think it will work great for run and gun coues when checking out rolling hills from 1000 yards in!

[@lylefredrickson8657]

Man that new vortex spotter would be awesome for my archery season hiking in many miles each day

[@chadnnorris]

This would be great on my upcoming backcountry Coues hunt in AZ this November. The size and weight are perfect!

[@TheLaneyFamily]

Josh. It was awesome meeting you at Hike to Hunt this past July in Flag. Loved this film. Looks so much more rugged than our "big" mountains here in AZ. If I win the scope, that would come in most handy for me on my elk hunt this year in unit 10. Big wide open hills and long distances to cover with that light weight glass would be handy. Sounds like we will be in CO at the same time this year too so maybe we can meet up and help each other with our pack outs. Best of luck on a good Deer

[@pruemaxwell9427]

I would use the spotting scope in Montana on my first deer hunt! Great video.

[@EnvisionHunt]

That all new vortex spotter would definitely be useful in my North Dakota archery whitetail hunt this fall! Love how packable that thing is!

[@dad3562]

Curious if you’ll respond to the gift notification. I did, wanted 64$ for shipping then 102$ for insurance shipping. Not sure if it was real or not. Only paid the $64. I asked them to call me from the cell number provided and hasn’t yet. I doubt it’s Josh to be honest.

[@remingtonbloom6210]

Would use it on every hunt I can. Great content man keep it up.

[@Corrupted_Aurora]

I could really use this on my hunt I am 14 for a bull elk tag first try really exited to go it’s gonna be up north of Arizona somewhere in December

[@ryanpeterson9838]

I think it would be really good on an Alberta Elk hunt 👊🏻

[@codymiller7019]

great video josh black bear hunting is my passion, hey josh the razor would be very convenient on the August opening bear hunts here in az you know how hot it is and I hike 4 miles in with limited water and with the razor glass you can see clear ass day also the weight is great for backpack trips

[@dylanschram2281]

Backpack rifle elk in WY! 🤙🏻

[@hunt3a842]

Love the video! The razor would come in handy for my wife and moms elk hunt in 6a

[@Galdrith]

Thank you for always providing insightful and engaging content and for being an ambassador. I’d use this spotting scope for all my hints but every time we’re out hunting the grey ghost… would be indispensable.

[@michaelmaggio5915]

Hey man. Send me your cel phone and I'll call you for info. Thanks, Mike

[@Galdrith]

Info regarding?

[@seankennerson]

Awesome video spotting scope would be perfect for a sheep hunt

[@ericshipp9483]

Three generation Mule Deer hunt in AZ this November. Already have some glassing spots picked out to put it to work.

[@msr933]

Bow hunting black tail in the Piutes

[@traverfields3768]

Awesome video man! That scope would be perfect for my Dakota deer/shed trips. 💯

[@nickorona5236]

Ricknay7 hey Josh thanks for the videos you definitely make me want to get out more and try other states and new merch thank also for showing me how to e scout. The place where I think this little spotter would be useful is on longer backpacking hunts since it’s so small and doesn’t weigh as much as a normal full length spotter and it’s distance is better than binoculars.

[@reisbrugger3070]

I would love to take it on my next elk hunt!

[@user-ry5vz5fy7n]

This thing would be great for some late archery deer hunts down south. Great video.

[@kyle6770]

I would use the spotter for all things bears and most importantly getting my oldest daughter and wife deer and elk during rifle seasons!!

[@jackmitchell541]

Awesome videos. Just stumbled across your channel. Needless to say, IM HOOKED! Just like you, i would use that scope on all back pack hunt. Smaller size. Slick and sleek!

[@dimitriwessendorf2391]

Thanks Josh for that Film. What a refreshing gem in this saturated platform. Fully enjoyed it!

[@DialedinHunter]

Very much appreciated 🙏🏼. Thanks for taking the time to watch!

[@neilfleming77]

Great film to capture the essence of backpack hunting. I have enjoyed your productions for sometime now. I have an archery elk hunt coming up in AZ. More than just the hunt is the time I will be able to have with my boys. Nothing like getting old and having younger and stronger body’s to help out an old gray haired man dream his dream. Now that my son-in-law, Eric, has moved to Idaho I will be able also pursue Idaho bear as well. Seems like this Vortex would be a nice addition to my experience. I have been motivated since I was drawn for elk to get this old body in better shape. I have lost over 20 lbs. and walked almost daily. So far since April I have logged over 320 miles of walking. At 67, I know I’m playing on the back 9 of my life. None the less, one day at a time and put in the pain to hopefully enjoy the gain. Thanks again Josh.

[@sarcazmo]

Az archery deer. The bigguns are always in the thick nasty stuff

[@tylerstein2728]

A small spotter like that would be super useful for hunting muleys in the rut.

[@scotthall4166]

My first mule deer backcountry hunt this year!

[@Backwoodsfried]

That spotting scope would definitely help me get eyes on my target whitetail buck I’d like to kill this year also what would be my first whitetail buck last year I struck out time and time again on him because I just found the spot and him last year this year I’ve put in many more miles and hours into finding his area but being able to watch that from a further distance and not get my scent into those spots would hopefully keep my odds of catching him off guard higher and hopefully it would help in many other hunts in the future bear season ends here at the end of September first season putting actual effort into it not very big woods in Massachusetts so if I find a fresh trail I’ve gotta go full steam ahead to get on it before it crosses a property line

[@jasonjohn1978]

Definitely could use the weight savings of that little spotter on my high country muley hunt. I think using that little spotter would allow you to go to a lighter tripod too.

[@MrPharmer25]

I would use that thing for when I finally track down a big old boar in the Arizona back country. Will need to save all the ounces I can while not skimping on the glass!!!

[@novascotiapsearcher4497]

I have finally been selected for a moose tag after 33yrs of entering our moose draw here in Nova Scotia. This spotting scope would come in handy scanning the Cape Breton highlands for a big bull to harvest.

[@Gripandgun]

Great video as always buddy!! Hopefully I can use that new spotter for some late season mule deer!

[@Andyram_18]

Spring bear!! Backpack hunters dream. Thanks for all of your good relative content. Always willing to answer DMs and give back!!

[@MrNovaAddict]

Love this!! Would certainly use this for elk hunting in the fall. Gear weight is the primary reason I only carry my binos in. Sadly there are so many times I spotting scope would be clutch! Awesome video, Josh!!! You're the man!

[@michaelkasulaitis7928]

Honestly, the first circumstance that comes to mind is using it on a window mount on my truck. Something small and nimble I can keep in my console. Great video as always!!

[@jwchunts8712]

I would honestly keep it in the center console of my truck with a window mount so it’s with me on every hunt!

[@shadmorefield427]

Any hunt that you are going on in the back country and camping for several days or just quick hunts!! It’s size makes it ideal and perfect for backpack and back country hunts!!

[@WildeeProject]

Awesome hunt and awesome film! That mini spotter would definitely be used showing my newborn daughter wildlife and teaching her about the outdoors once she’s older.

[@nathanielmelton780]

What a shot. Man, I think I could use that new Vortex on all my hunts. Amazing bear, congrats!

[@arizonadiyhunting5253]

I NEED THIS…..for my AZ Desert Sheep tag in December. 😮

[@chrissanchez2623]

Hey man!! We met at Hike to Hunt in Flagstaff after you did one of the courses. Super happy for you as you mentioned this hunt when we talked. Great production and overall story! I would use that little spotting scope virtually on any hunt that allowed for some glassing as its not so bulky and heavy as I tend to leave my other one due to weight. Keep those films coming!

[@drakestaheli1648]

That spotter would be perfect on my Idaho deer hunt that I’m backpacking in for!! Lighter weight gear helps a ton!

[@christianharkness7241]

A small scope that that would be awesome for those high country mule deer archery hunts when ounces really count!

[@GreenEagle1983]

Conrats Josh! wish I would have watched this before heading out on my CO fall bear hunt. I unfortunately didn't see any bears (wondering how much cattle in the area plays a part) Thanks for sharing this as it adds inspiration for OCT in ID!

[@DialedinHunter]

Thanks! Man, that's a bummer. Best of luck in ID!

[@evanleaber8296]

Awesome film and beautiful landscapes man! Your videos inspired me to start bowhunting, so please keep them coming. The vortex spotter would be perfect for an archery elk hunt in Wyoming.
