Nothern California (Trinity Alps) optics: should I upgrade my Leica Trinovid 10x42 to a higher magnification binos, if used with a spotting scope?

10's on a tri-pod is what I use. Always have a spotter on me as well. If ur hunting BIG country you will need em both.

10’s and a spotter should be perfect. If you spot a deer for away throw up the spotter.

I’d keep the 10s personally. When you put 10s on a tripod it’s a huge difference. If you didn’t already have them I might say 12s but since you do I’d use those. 10s can still be used hand holding them, it gets tougher with 12s to hand hold. On the spotter side, unless I’m wanting to count tines way out there I don’t pack my spotter. I can tell if a buck has a good frame and is worth going after from a looong way out with my 10s on a tripod. For me it’s not usually worth the weight to pack my spotter.

I agree, stick with the 10's
