 Agree with a lot of the others. The best effective way to glass big areas is with a quality set of bino's, then use the spotter for zooming in on what you locate. Areas like this will take you a couple hours minimum to effectively glass, without quality glass your eyes will fatigue before you can cover the entire area.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

use your eyes to look over areas while keeping the binos still...its harder to see movement with a moving bino.

Keep in mind 11-1 is the best time atleast for me....all of my big bucks were taken in this time frame...my thought is they chase all night....bed down before or at sun up then get back up around 11 or so to feed/stretch/chase does some more

I note the same pattern. I am always out way before dawn to get in my areas, but almost always notice an increase in animal activity after 11:00. Shot many deer in this timeframe.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.
