I have 8 X 32 Zeisse which due to small size is my choice for turkey hunting. I like them because they are small, fit into the vest with quality glass and useful looking for toms roosted at first or last light.

I have a Nikon Monarch 10 X 42 with a good halter support that I use deer hunting in New England and when I go out west for elk. Good glass with a cheaper price tag. I have used them for several years without any issues.

I have a Nikon 10-22 X 50 variable for use around the house. I live on Lake Champlain and often use them to zoom in on things out on the lake like loons or eagles in the trees. They are too large to hunt with but have good clarity especially at the lower magnification settings.

If I were to pick a good size for deer hunting I would opt for 10 X 42 in the best glass you can afford.
