I regularly look at the antlers of bucks before shooting them. Not glassing to figure out if they are a deer, just making sure that it is legal. 3 pt rule here, and I shoot a lot of deer that I want out of the herd. If I decide that I do not want the deer, I might get my binoculars and watch it for a while. All "just looking" gets the use of binoculars. I do see a lot of people going hunting without binoculars but not on my place. miles
