The little compact on a shoulder harness you don't know are there. But their late afternoon low light capability is limited. Last couple hunts this year I just toted the rifle and used the scope. “Killing tomorrow’s trophies today.” On the distance I like to walk to my stands: “The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”

This. 8x32 or 8x42 in good quality glass will do about everything needed around here. I had 10x and then switched to 8x42. Just sold those and went with 8x32 and don't think I'll ever go back up in size.
