10x50 for coues

[Rdan2]

I have my first coues deer hunt in Arizona later this month. I’ve been going back and forth about my binocular setup. I typically run 10x50s on a tripod along with a spotting scope for a closer look. I know 15s are great for coues but my question is, are they a 100% better choice than my 10x50s on a tripod? Can I get away with my 10x50s on a tripod along with my spotter or should I bite the bullet on 15s?

If 10s and a spotter are what you have, you can absolutely just use that. Rarely do you NEED to buy some piece of gear to make a hunt.

Now are 15s better than 10s for Coues hunting? 100% without a doubt.

The 10’s on a tripod will work just fine.

You will be glassing for hours and hours, every day. I hope your optics are high quality and not to cause eye strain and headaches. So if they aren’t, now would be a good time to invest in a pair of used Swarovski 15’s. You can pick them up in $1300 range.

I did just fine using my EL 10x50s on a tripod for my last coues hunt.

Yes they are fine.

10’s will do but a quality pair of 15’s are no doubt better. You will absolutely find more deer with a good pair of 15’s.

Even with my 12s it was difficult finding deer let alone identifying if they were bucks. more power helps in their country as you usually find them far and high
