I am snooping around at some compact binoculars,and am in need of some suggestions. I will be doing alot of ground hunting in search of elk/blacktail, so close range stuff mainly. I' ve done a fair amount of research on them, and it seems the Bushnell' s (12x25) are dang near better than some of the compact Steiner' s I' ve looked at, with fully-multi coated lenses, etc..

What do you elk hunters (and blacktail) hunters suggest in the way of manufacturers/magnification/size/etc..

Thanks in advance.
