I have a pair of the 10 x 42 Nikon Monarch binocs,
There very nice in quality .
They are a little pricey compard to bushnell or ??
Well worth the money, Will be your last pair unless you want to go bigger .
If I was in a area as you are I would buy a slightly larger pair .
My local Gander Mountain has them at 20 % off right now.
