I do. Don't use them much except for when I am scanning Power Lines or the large "fields" left over from the strip mining days. They can be handy though.

I do about 60% of the time. It depends where I'm hunting. They have definitely helped more than they hurt and have saved the day many times.

Depends on where I'm hunting. If I'm hunting big fields I carry a pair of Leupold 10 x 25 compact binos. I normally don't carry them when I'm hunting elsewhere.

Yep, I got a cheap little pair in my vest when I hunt. It's nice to have just in case I need to see what's off in the distance, but I don't usually like to carry around my larger Vortex binos (got enough stuff with me already
)

I always have mine along, their in my pack and are a very used "tool". I have a pair of Swarovski SLC's 8x30's and are excellent optics.

Picked up a pair of Bushnell Legends a few years back in their 8x32 size. Little larger than compacts, but not as big as the full size.
