Hunting with Glasses
 

Just had an eye exam and got a mild prescription. Don't need anything for close-up, reading, etc.... but they brighten things up for distance. Great for watching TV and driving.

I figure they would really brighten the woods up and be great for hunting. My question would be, do they reflect the sun and do deer spot them. I would think that two pieces of glass up in a tree would be easy to spot.

What's the deal? Do deer spot them?

They can reflect the sun as well as the frame also. I wear a camo net facemask that I position to cover the lenses almost all the way and a wide brimmed hat that helps keep the sun off of my face.

deer don't typically go around looking up in the tree tops. If they spot your glass, it's because they seen you move first.

Yeah, if the deer is close enough to spot your glasses he is probably so close that you have either already taken the shot or decided to pass.

I wouldn't worry about it.

I've been wearing glasses and hunting with them since 1977. Never noticed a problem.

That is why I wear contacts.
Glasses fog up, the reflect the sun, they fall off, etc, etc.
I hate wearing glasses.

Check out contacts.
They are way cheaper then glasses.

I use to wear glasses while hunting and the fogging up while looking threw my scope was always annoying.loseing your glasses in a tangle of snow and bush is no fun either

I have to wear some kind of corrective lens..or I'd be blind as a bat...I prefer contacts though just because they don't fog up like glasses.

The only real problem is sun hitting them and reflecting. If you can avoid that, you will be OK. But then again, having yourself lit up like a neon sign when the sun hits you is bad in general, especially if you ground hunt.

I've never had a problem with them but I like to keep the sun at my back or side.
