Holy smack that is a nice buck! I would love just to see that class of animal.
This may teach me a lesson about not stepping up on binos. They were around $200 though so they couldn't be that bad and I'll find out tomorrow or the next day when they arrive. the Alphas look nice. The Nikons are probably awesome. Do you usiually by 7X, 8X or 10X or a combination? I'll keep you posted.
I prefer the lower magnifications for my style of hunting. Anything more than 8x actually hurts me for the environment I hunt in. An 8x32 or 8x42 is probably the best bet for most folks though I have found several 7x42 and 6x32s that are also excellent.
What happened to you guys? Our thread was on the bottom of the second page and another team has a page more posts than us!
