What kind of binoculars do you carry?

[kytrkyhntr]

Strictly turkey season related of course. I have a very small pair of vortex 10x28 binos. My other pair I carry deer hunting are Cabela's brand 12x50 they're sweet but they're big. I know most people I've seen run 10x42 but they always just seem a little bulky for my style. Binos are not necessary I guess in the turkey woods but I don't think they hurt. What do you carry? Why?

Maven C.2 7x28s

Bout the only company that makes the size I was looking for. Dont need high power or low light capability for the way I use them. But I was surprised at how much light these let in and the optical quality.

Zeiss 10x25 pocket binoculars that were bought probably 25 years ago. I actually use then quite often turkey hunting as I hunt in open country. Just yesterday on my way home I saw a lone bird in the center of a field, used the used then to confirm it was a gobbler.

Zeiss 10x25 for me also that I bought in 2004. I use mine a lot to check food plots or any open area's as I appoach focusing through the brush or trees. I cant tell you how many times I've been able to focus through the brush to see birds in an open area that I would have spooked otherwise. I have quite a few birds that I can say I got only because I was able to find them with my bino's.

Meopta 10X. They sport excellent glass, and their tough. However, if you're looking for a light optic, this isn't what you should carry.

Not binoculars but a monocular.  There were two things I didn't like about the two sets of binoculars I had.  They were very small and portable, but either out of incompatibility or being cheap I never had a good harness.  I hated that they would swing and bounce when sneak hunting.   Also, they were under powered with small lenses.  So I decided to try a monocular.  It's small enough that it fits in one of my vest pockets and I can quickly tuck it away.  However, I still have it tied to my vest with para cord so I can just let it go or set it to my side but not forget it.  Further, the lens size and power are great.

Swarovski 10x25 Habicht Pocket. Fantastic, light.

Leupold 10X42 roof prism. Reason: good glass that's small and lightweight enough to not be an issue to carry, but at the same time having enough magnification and field of view to able to get on target quickly and take a good, close look.

Binos are an essential item for me when I'm in the field. I never leave home without them. You'd be surprised how useful they are in the turkey woods.

Leupold 10 x 25 in my vest. Leupold 10 x 42 in the truck.

Turkey hunting I carry a set of Zeiss 10x25 pocket binoculars that are  25+ years old.

Vortex 10 x 28.. i don't want heavy pair for turkey hunting.

Swarovski 10x32 SLC's for turkey & bowhunting, awesome optics! As for my others I have 8.5x42 Swarovski EL's and lastly a pair of Cabela's Alaskan Guides in a 8x42's. For the little difference going to 10x I'll keep with the performance of the 8's in the 42's much better viewing capabilities.

Small enough to carry in my hip pack.
