How To Choose the BEST Glassing Spot

Choosing the right glassing spot can make a huge difference when you're trying to find deer. A good position isn't always the highest point or the place with the biggest view - it's about getting the best view of the country animals are actually likely to use. In this video, I break down how I choose a glassing position when hunting new country, from reading the terrain and identifying likely deer habitat to recognising dead ground that could be hiding animals completely from view. I also touch on concealment, wind direction, and thinking ahead to what happens after you actually spot an animal. Because finding deer is only useful if your position still gives you options to make a move. Whether you're hunting red deer, fallow deer, or simply trying to get better at glassing open country, the same basic principles apply. Sometimes moving your glassing position only a short distance can completely change the country you're able to search. The goal isn't necessarily to to see the most country - it's to get the best view of the right country.
