Thread: Binos for bush stalking - do you need em? Why and how?

I'll be watching this with interest, I've never used them bush stalking, although you raise a good point MB the other side of that, with deer anyway, would be if you're within 50m of a deer the chances are it may well be aware of you already and your peripheral vision might be more useful for spotting movement than being focused through binos. While binos are good for clarifying colour definition in dark bush, I've always found a quick gander through the scope will often be all that's needed.

I'm not super pro-binos. I don't carry them most of the time in the bush (it's very thick up here), but they have found me an animal or two in other places.
