It really depends on the type of hunting and terrain. Some places out west require that you "glass" for hours on end an at distances most people in the east and south couldn't dream of. Using lesser quality binocs in this environment is a sure recipe for severe eye strain and a killer headache. Try them. If they work, great, if not save up the money for a quality pair.

As for the thinking that binocs aren't that important because you don't look through them when you squeeze the trigger, this is true at short distances but not when you will be looking through the binocs for multiple hours at ranges up to 1000+ yards. At these distances, you won't have a chance to bag the trophy because you won't be able to find him with lesser quality binocs.
