Never owned a pair of binoculars for hunting. Anytime I've tried binoculars I have always removed my glasses to get a comfortable sight picture. Do you guys usually remove your glasses when glassing with binoculars, or have you found a pair that allow you to leave your glasses on? Any recommendations for a sub $600-ish pair that would work well with glasses?

I leave mine on. My 20 year old Leica 8x42 BA’s have plenty of eye relief.

Always leave mine on, just have to turn the eyecups all the way in. Works with Swaro's and Vortex for me.

Modern roof prism binoculars generally work well with glasses. If I were glassing for long periods of time, I might remove my glasses, but this would be rare for me. You would need to readjust your diopter. I keep a cheatsheet in my binoculars case for diopter adjustments with and without glasses. jfk's Leica BA's have one of the best diopter adjustments ever in my opinion. For current production binoculars, Zeiss Conquests have great eye relief and can be purchased on the used market close to your price range.
