Are you serious or just trying to get a reaction??? Either you don't hunt cutover or you are missing a lot of deer. My son, who has the best vision of anyone I know (20/10), who can spot a bedded deer in a thicket, always has a pair of binos with him while hunting. I guess if you are in the "if it's brown, it's down" club, then they may lose a little important, but to judge a deer at distance or in low light conditions, they are vitally important.


Don't hunt cutover and don't hunt fields. The stuff I normally hunt is so thick that if you're fumbling with binoculars then he is already gone


You'd be amazed how well you can see into thick stuff with binos. You might ought to open your mind then open your eyes. I'd hunt without a gun before I hunted without binos

I purchased a pair of Vortex Diamondback 10x42’s yesterday to use for strictly bowhunting. They rival my Kahles 10x42’s. They’re bright and extremely clear.

I’ve been looking at this one for a while, I like the single tube over the double. Has anyone used it or one similar?

That's fine to check something out real quick but, there's no way I'd try to actually spend time glassing with that.

That’s all I’m wanting them for it’s thick where I’m hunting so I’m not looking at anything over 100-150 yards

Waaay less and the light transmission will be terrible. Only good for quick viewing in good light at close to moderate distances.

Probably? I try to remove the “probably’s” when I can. Your definition of a shooter and mine are probably 2 different things. I had a really nice 9 pt, on several occasions last year at 125 yards. Through the naked eye, my mind said shooter. He was with a doe the first time I saw him. After looking through my binos, I judged him to be 3 1/2, so he got a pass. I ended up seeing him several more times. I saw 5 or 6 nice racked bucks that got a pass because after looking at them, I didn’t think they were old enough.

Your comment sounds like you do not appreciate or use good binoculars. It’s the equivalent of taking dieting advice from a fat person smile

That was just a little jab at all y'all trophy hunters, I shoot what I want to shoot. I do use binos, best I can afford and they are glued to my head 1/2 the time I am in the stand and on the way to the stand. The sad thing is I've seen most of the bucks on camera and know exactly what it is as soon as I see him binos or not. So it's a nice surprise when a new bruiser shows up during the rut.
