I have a pair of Pentax DCF-SP 8X43's on a Bino Buddy system that goes everywhere with me........LOVE those things. Bright , clear crisp and completely weatherproof.
I started taking binos a lot more seriously when PA went to their Antler Restrictions to look deer over closer, and I wish I had bought a good pair sooner.
I look at everything with them........from long range approaching deer , to scanning after a shot, to checking out a cool Owl 3 trees over. Won't leave home without em'
