I’ve been considering getting a set of binoculars for glassing my field for deer. I have a set of Bushnell Legends 8 x 42 and have worked very well for looking for deer during the night with the full moon however they don’t have the magnification required for picking up details from distance during the day.

I don’t have intentions of purchasing high end optics but have looked at the new Nikon Monarchs 10 x 56 mm and 12 x 56 mm binocs. Wow for the price I find they have what it takes looking at them in the store. Another set that I found very good for the price was the Minox 10 x 52 mm. Talk about clear image but twice the price of the Nikons I mentioned and still half the price of high end binocs. At this time these are the two types I might be considering. Just thought I’d pass on some info for you to look up. Good luck in your shopping...
