bino recommendations for western hunt
reposting from optics for additional thoughts--
Heading to wyoming for elk, mulie in fall. have pair of nikon monarch 8x42 love them. need another pair, as my son will be joining me-- thinking about going bigger, nikon 10x56-- a lot heavier, but want some advise onweather the extrapower and lightisworth the extra size,weight? We;ll be on horseback, buthiking quite a bit too. Glassing appears to be much more important in the woods here in new england-- already have a leupold sequoiaspotting scope, so we'recovered there.
Would welcome any advice, suggestions-- I hear Minox may be a step up, but not put me over $1K. trying to figure out the who 10x 42, vs 10x 56, etc. thx.
