    By all means carry one if you think it has a value to your hunting but I certainly wouldnt leave my binos behind

    +1, how often have you been glassing an area and see nothing, then 30 seconds later your mate see's one in the same area you had just searched.
    what are you going to do when your mate stops to glass an area for 15- 20minutes? binos are a "must have" on the tops, spotting scope adds
    to that

    Sit back and relax comes to mind, always see plenty of deer anyway so not a huge issue if i dont carry binos.

    I will carry both but you want a light set up. Stagasourus carries his monster lieca around when with clients. Good glass and light is expensive. They are a must if your strictly trophy hunting IMO

    The vortex razor would be a nice scope but a tad on the heavy side.
