If I had turned around a nice Prognhorn buck would have busted me.

LOL!
One day I turned into our driveway and saw a couple of deer in my rear view mirror in the field across the road. I stopped and looked in my mirror with the binos and could count points on two mule deer bucks. I had used the binoculars in the mirror a few times before.

When i told the story in the office coffee room a couple of guys did the jaw drop look and said "WHAT! You looked at deer with your binoculars in the rear view mirror????"

They had never thought of doing it or that it would work.

That will only work if they are NOT Vampire deer.

Otherwise you would never see the in the rear view... that's how they git ya!

And another cool mirror trick is looking in one with glasses on and you can still see yourself. Freaks me out everytime!
