I used to not carry them, but now I feel naked without them. You will be surprised by how many times you will use them or wish you had some. You may see a good deer out of range and still have the pleasure of seeing him up close.

Binoculars are also helpful in locating game after the shot. It is a good idea to view them as long as possible and if they go down within your sight you can tell more about the situation using binoculars. They can save alot of leg work if you see something that you think is the downed deer and so forth.

I got some Pentax for Christmas last year. I can' t wait to hunt with those. They are great binoculars!
