    I recently read a sniper book which had a whole chapter on glassing. Applies to war not hunting of course , but they had a system:
    Hasty search first. A quick look at the most likely spots,; cover them al in a minute or two.
    Careful search next. Look again at the likely spots but very carefully for small pieces of (deer). Still not looking at unlikely spots.
    Then do a complete search of every spot until you see something or have to leave.
    Only glass for 30 minutes at a time and preferably rotate with another person and between optics eg binos to spotting scope to binos if you have more than one with you.
    Common sense is to look at the good spots close to you first then the places further away.
