Binoculars?

[Dhamilton1]

What's everyone's go to binoculars for  turkey hunting?

My vortex crossfire 10x42s are too big and bulky to run and gun turkey, in my opinion.

Looking to get something smaller and lighter this year.

Thanks.

I have a set of vortex diamondback 10x28 I keep in my vest. I really like them.

I run same binos you already use.  They are big. But good for glassing

I use some Zeis 10x25 compacts and absolutely love them. I've had them for about 20 yrs. Last I looked they had over doubled in price since I bought them. They are very good binoculars though.

I need a smaller pair, I am using 10X42 Stieners. Nice but heavy.
Was going to buy a pair of Swarovski in SD this spring but they didn't have what I thought I wanted.

I should have bought what they had. 8X32 I believe.

I prefer to hunt the timber so I use my 2x range finder. Serves a double purpose and I'm always amazed at what 2 power will do in the woods.

I have a pair of Vortex 10x32 that I use for deer hunting. They are a nice compromise. Better field of view than the 25/28's and not as bulky as a set of 42's.

I carry Nikon 10x42s on a harness.  Can't say I've ever once found them too bulky or in the way.  I do know I'd feel handicapped without them.

Burris has some good glass and I love mine

Obviously, the need for binoculars of a certain type depends on what and where you are hunting. I normally carry 10X42's, 10X50's, or even 12X50's at times, because I want the higher magnification and wider field of view. For where I hunt, both are important...and the weight and bulk difference in carrying those rather than something smaller is more than made up for by the ability to see things farther and more easily than with anything smaller.

Then again, for a lot of my turkey hunting, I really don't need to carry binoculars at all MOST of the time. I have gone on many a turkey hunt where I never lifted those binoculars at all. For those other times when I really needed them, I was also really glad that I had them with me. Just because of that, I will continue to carry them.

Will there come a time where I am feeble enough that I need to resort to something with less weight and bulk than those heavyweights I carry?  Maybe,...but I ain't there yet!

I've started carrying a vortex monocular and really like it. Easily storable in my vest and solid view out of it

I have binos for scouting, but I never carry binos when hunting... Sometimes I wish I had them... But it passes and I resolve myself to saying that it's not that necessary for hunting purpuses... I always say to myself, I should start carrying some... Maybe next season... Or the one after

I also carry the Zeiss 10/25 binoculars and love them as was mentioned. The binoculars are very light and usually do not even notice I have them on. The magnification is great for the area I hunt which is oak tree covered rolling hills.
