The bino advice thread got me wondering...
I used to carry a small, low quality pair of binos when bowhunting. This was mainly to count points on bucks to make sure they were legal when antler restrictions in my state were first instituted. However, I don't carry binos anymore when hunting. If I can't tell if it is legal with the naked eye at 30 yds, then I just don't shoot. (No more barely legal scrub bucks for me)
That said, SHOULD I be carrying a pair? If you carry a pair, either while hunting and/or scouting, can you explain why? Specifically, how do you use them? Am I missing out on something that I could strategically improve upon, woodsmanship or otherwise?
