RE: Your choice of binoculars?
$45 7-15X32 Bushnells for open country spot and stock. I can tell from a long way off whether they are want I want to chase after or not, but I do not need to know if it is aperfect 6X6or 5X6 or a broken brow tine to know if I want to chase them. Know what I mean? I have lost 2 pairs crawling through the scrub oaks of COand brush of Canada which means if they cost me $500 a piece I would still be crying. #1 advantage is they are tiny and light. A nice combo for hiking around all day. Just my worthless opinion though. Nice clear binos sure are nice to look through. Just unncessarily expensive and heavy for what I need.
