I think for eye strain reduction and comfort for long time behind glass it is really hard to beat a set of high power binos for hunting. Unless you are really chasing giants and inches you're gonna know if what you're looking at is worth going after or at least getting a closer look at. With a...
never been mad i carried a bigger pack. I still use a seek peregrine for all my hunting that is 60ish liters for about 4 years. my partner has a metcalf. I’ve done 5-6 day trips with it but you gotta have the gear and know how to do it. For winter hunts with stripping and adding glassing...
