Hi. I was wondering how people carry their spotting scope when back packing and hunting. I just bought my first spotting scope, a Nikon pro staff 80mm with 20x62 eyepiece. I am not sure if it would be best to attach the eyepiece at home and carry the scope as a single unit, or pack the eyepiece separately in the styrofoam box that it came in and attach it only when I'm actually ready to do some spotting. Obviously I don't want to damage either one or get condensation in the lenses.
Although I have plenty of room in the pack's main compartment, I was planning on carrying the scope body in a side pocket on my pack, just for ease of access. The pocket seems to be fairly water resistant but probably not water proof. All the lenses have covers.
Thank you for your advice.
