I guess it all depends on what your standards are for your pack weight, what sort of hike you're going to go on, what your expectations are, and what sort of critter you're hunting.... Along with a million other variables...

Factoring in that much stuff to think about, I'd rather just cut to the chase and be able to see what I want to see, and cut weight in other areas like my pack, shelter, food, etc...
