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!

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


Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

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've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

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