If you hunt whitetails out of a deer stand, what binocular did you use this year?
Thanks, RS

I have used the same binoculars for about 20 years or more, 10x Leica Geovids.
I don't leave home without them.

Leica Trinovid BN that I bought over 20 years ago, 8x30. Still work just fine. These have been on many hunts over the years, used but not abused and never been back to Leica for any type of work.

Thanks, RS For those who used multiple binoculars during the season, what, other than whim, made you take one over the others? Thanks, RS

I'm a stillhunter, not a stand hunter, but a pair of Kowa Genny 8X33s are ALWAYS in an AGC pack on my chest...whatever the game, east or west.

I pretty much use two sets anymore:
Leica Geovid 10x in open areas when rangefinder is needed
Kahles 10X42 when primarily in the woods where no rangefinder is needed

Meopta 7x42 - most used. Great eye relief, heavy, great glass, great in low light...use them when wearing glasses.
Meopta 8x32 HD - less used. Light, great fov, great glass, short eye relief...use them when wearing contacts.
Minox 6.5x32 IF - Great depth of focus...set it once and done, light, I'm willing to wipe the rain off so they get used hard...use them when still hunting in the rain.
