That's one thing I never really cared about when I was hunting over the years, a good set of binoculars. I always had cheap, kind of pieces of junk so to speak. That was until one year my buddy kept telling me I needed to get a decent pair. Finally one day at a Gander Mountain they had all kinds sitting out in a new display and I picked up a few. Was shocked how clear things were at longer distances, not the gray fuzzy look I was used to that's for sure. I ended up picking up a pair of Bushnell, not even sure what model but I think they are 10 X 42's. Biggest thing for me was how crisp things were at those longer distances, much easier to pick out those parts of a deer that I never could see before.
