    Found this quite interesting as I use the cannon sx60 as my spotter. It certainly out preforms the binos and the scope at judging animals at long distances. Spotted a cracking chamois buck with my binos and couldn’t even see his horns. Got the camera out and was able to judge it to be a very good animal at 1-1.5k away. Sometimes you do have to wait for the horns or antlers to silhouette on a rock or something to get a better view. It’s certainly saved me some walking over the last couple of years

    Yeah me too
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
