Title: Living on the East side
Post by: Griz231 on December 19, 2016, 05:47:15 PM: Man I love living over on the East side. I took a look out the window this afternoon and spotted this guy about 3 miles out. I headed over and got some decent video of him. This is my first time using the phoneskope with my Vortex Spotter. I ordered the bluetooth shutter remote a few minutes ago which will help a ton as it's tough to get any pics without making it fuzzy.

that is true. Just figured I'd give the Bluetooth a try. My dang phone kept shutting off I'm assuming cause of the cold. Had to have it plugged in even though it was over 50% batttery. Thanks Apple.

That way you can take pictures without having to actually touch the screen. Just a thought, might be cheaper for people that already have a set. :twocents:

That's a good call!! I ended up buying the phone skope BT remote and it works good. Comes with a lanyard. It was $25 but the ear bud or timer will work just as good.

My issue now is this dang iPhone battery not lasting in cold weather. Spent 15 min doing video and pics off and on and my battery went from 90% to dead. I have the 6 plus and is 2 years old. Sure is disappointing.

I still like the West side though. When I look out my window, I see moss. Who doesn't love that?? :dunno:

yep he's in an area not huntable but who knows where he goes when he heads back for high country. There was a yote circling him and his buddy yesterday but the yote ended up taking off. Hopefully he survives the winter.
