    Fellas, has anyone ever tried to take a pic with a digital cam, through a spotting scope? It seems to me that I've heard it is possible, and I'd love to get a pic of a big one this weekend I've been watching. Any one have any experience?

    There is a Bushnell running around out there that is somewhere in the neighborhood of $80 and it seems to do a really good job. Also, you can pick up a Burris for a good price on ebay.

    I think the less expensive bushnell's are the spacemaster and the sportsman....
