Sounds like a good plan to me.
Don't be discouraged if you find your laser has a difficult time ranging much past 325-350 yards out here. Pdogs are small targets for the laser, and the vegetation (if any) doesn't reflect much of the beam. Landmarks, except for the occasional yucca clump, are pretty scarce in these parts.
All kidding aside, I've known (and been one) a few folks that bought spotting scopes for pdog hunting and not a single one ever bothered taking it to the field on their next trip out.
