I live in northern Idaho, we have about the same, lots of timber, clear cuts, and some feilds. I bought a pair of Leupold Olympic 10x50mm binoculars last year, they work great. They are part of Leupolds cheaper Green Ring line, price is about $350. By far the best binoculars I have ever owned, the are exceptionally clear and work great at dawn and dusk. I would highly recomend them to anyone. They also have a lifetime warranty.
