If I'm having a run of clear weather, like now, I'll leave the scope and mount set up too.
If only I could do that all the time. sigh....
Not having a fence around the yard, my gear is in full view to anyone who passes by. So if I have to go into the big smoke, the whole lot has to come back inside again.
