Who uses

binos before green up?

me

carry a small pair all season. You can look at a greenfield from 100 yards out and slow sway back and forth...see every bird out there.

I use them all year. They are one of the most important things in my vest

I use them all spring. After green up I still hunt in fields and pastures where my view could be more than a couple hundred yards.

I never use them. I take some if I go out west but rarely take them out of my vest even out there.

I ain't carrying anything that isn't absolutely necessary. When I leave my truck it could be a couple a couple hundred yards or several miles before I get back.

I use them a lot out west but have never carried them here in Bama. I do however plan to keep them with me this year.

I tote em but rarely use them in the woods, but i have needed them and have them when I do need them

Same here but they are great for cutovers and glassing fields from a distance.

I use them, everytime i go, but need to get a smaller pair.

I use a small pocket size set in Alabama.

Out West I use a larger pair with a binocular harness.

I carry them in my vest everytime I go turkey hunting. I use them in the woods and fields. I carry Leupold Cascade 10X42s. Also use them deer hunting.

I don't in bama, carried a spotting scope last year in kansas.

bino's are the second most important thing in my vest other than my turkey wing.. IMO

BINGO!

Great for fields but I've watched strutters and birds in the woods too.

I don't carry binos, but I do carry a little Nikon rangefinder. I always like to know the ranges of general landmarks around my setup rather than guestimate.

Never carry them while hunting,I do keep some in my truck though

Depending on where I'm hunting I might carry my little seven power Leica rangefinder. It has excellent glass and is good enough for taking a closer look at a bird while he's still far enough out. Also helps setting up to know ranges to objects for too far/close enough...

I always have my binos on!! I feel naked without them. After putting a good stalk on buzzards over 200 yards away I said I'd never do that again, so I started carrying my binos and haven't messed with buzzards anymore!

carry mine all season

I dont, there are a few situations each year where I wish I had them. But I hate having extra weight.

Never leave home or the truck without them.

In my vest ery day

Heck yea I carry them. Why would I want to waste time going after birds in big fields I can't tell what they are? Burris euro diamond 10x42

I keep a pair of 10x42's in my truck and I have a pair of little 8x25's I can fit in my shirt pocket. The more I use them the more I wonder how I did without them.

..... Nice to have a discussion going in here about a serious turkey hunting topic too!

I'm going to add a small pair to my vest this year. In the mtns before green up I can't imagine how many turkeys I've spooked from a couple of hundred yards away.

I use them almost every day. Great hunting tool that doesn't take up a lot of run in my vest.

I carry them with the straps that holds them tight to your chest. There's something about looking at one strutting gobbler through good, clear binoculars that gets you fired up.

Only thing, if you carry them with the strap like I have, take them off before belly crawling. I put the super sneak belly crawl on a few years ago, through a freshly plowed food plot, and filled the tops with dirt. Had it packed in pretty good.

I use the Leupold Rogue 8x25. Very clear and fit in my turkey vest. I wouldn't leave without 'em. I got them online for $79 less $25 Leupold rebate.

Always wear mine. Don't even know they are there. I cant tell you how many birds I have spotted on the roost with them and helped me get in position because they gather so much light. Also, caught several birds just feeding through the woods as you cant see deep in the wood lines without a good pair.

first time you do an end around run on a huge hay field to get ahead of a gobbler and discover it is a jake when you get in position , you will get some binos....

I don't even leave the house without binos. There is a pair in my truck at all times.

All year.

as soon as i spray down for sketters and ticks i put them on then my vest. if im in the woods hunting they are with me.

Always. Nikon Travelite 10x25.
