RE: What size binoculars are best for hunting?

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quotequote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> I aslo find them useful to study the arrow after the shot, study the animal after the shot.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> Now that PA and most of NJ follow QDM rules it's necessary to get a better look at them to decide on my course of action. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

OK, I can understand those reasons. I used to carry binos into the woods with me during archery season, but I found myself never taking them out and using them. So I stopped bringing them, and never really had the need to use them. I do remember, as PA Bowyer has stated looking at the arrow after the shot. But, I also found myself sitting tight for at least 1/2 hour after the shot anyway before getting dowm and examining the arrow. As far as calling in deer from far away, I stopped trying to do that a long time ago. There are too many people in my area calling, and I feel it is more of a detriment in my area. About the only time I call is if I am trying to stop one. And I do that with only my mouth. I guess what works best for me is sitting tight and not moving much. If I was hunting in PA though with the new QDM programs, I may use a set of binos. But, usually I would say that I can count points on anything within my range. What works for one may not work for another. I defenetely wouldn't say don't use bino's for archery if they work for you. But for me, at least where I hunt, and the way that I hunt (mostly the thickest stuff I can get into) ,they are not a necessity.
