Hi All,
Firstly, it's been about 5 years I've wanted to get into hunting, and last year I finally got out and absolutely loved it. I live in Vancouver BC area (west coast), and, I am hunting whitetail and mulies. I didn't get very high in Elevation, but this coming season I've got some spots early season where I'll be higher up, with lots of areas to glass over.
Right now I'm running 12x50 vipers with no tripod (looking to change that this year from all the reading I've been doing).
I'm not looking to hunt exclusively trophy deer, just legal bucks.
I didn't learn about how people use higher power binos until a few weeks ago, so, now I'm unsure whether to go for a spotter or higher power binos. I feel like since my binos are already on the higher side, I should look for a spotter to make sure I don't have so much overlap.
1) what do you guys suggest given what I'm trying to accomplish?
2) what would you suggest as options to buy? Prices in CAD FYI. $1000 options and $1500 options?
I've read a lot of great stuff about Athlon ares g2 uhd or the cronus G2 UhD, seems to beat out maven in glass quality and low light performance.
Any extra information you guys can provide would be fantastic, or questions you have let me know.
Cheers
