I don't get to hunt in places where binocs are really useful, so I don't know a damned thing about what works and what doesn't...but should I ever need such gear there is one story I have been told that I will not forget...
It seems this hunter was using some type of binocular harness, or strap, or whatever during a hunt and found himself entangled with a barbwire fence. It was actually his binocular harness that had snagged, and certain parts of it were elastic. He did not realize it was his harness that had snagged the barbwire, and kept pulling and resisting in frustration until the strap finally came loose from the barbwire, at which time the binoculars accelerated appreciably and hit him square in the mouth, splitting lips and loosening teeth. There was much blood and sorrow in that instant.
It's funny, but it's not.
