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

I generally carry a small pair of 7x when bush hunting. Usefull for scanning ahead in the more open stuff. Even in tight bush you can often distinguish a part of an animal that would otherwise be missed. You tend to stop and look more and hear/sight more animals instead of floundering away through vegetation.
As a side note. Try wearing a pair of amplified ear muffs, you don't need them turned up too much, you'll hear how noisey you are to an animals sensitive hearing even though you think you're moving quietly.
Another good reason to use bino's is it stops you from being one of those muppets who use their rifle-scope for gazing around from time to time, which isn't a good look.
