bino?

What size binos would you say is an all around size for hunting 8X, 10X, 12X and why? I ask because I am looking for a new pair of all around binos. I currently have 12X

I've got a pair of 8x32 and 7x50 that are all I need. Then I go to my spotting scope for any more power than those two give me.

I assume by your handle you hunt the west.
If I could only have one pair it would be 10x42.

Sometimes when Barbary hunting I carry my 15x around my neck just because those are more effective and can also take them off and put them on a bog pod.

I used 10x for years until my last pair and they are 8.5x I like them better, a bit wider field of view and brighter. Like Topgun, I go to the spotter if I need more detail.

I do hunt out west hunting elk and whitetail this year. Have hunted muledeer, whitetail and elk. I will be hunting antelope in the near future. Hope to hunt moose and bear someday here at home. If I am lucky I will someday hunt some of the other big game animals. Currently have Nikkon 12X42. I am thinking that I am going to get swarovski binos and if I can afford it a spoter also.

Have you ever tried a monocular? I haven't, but maybe you should try that for an all around bino type system.

I had 12x50's for years, now I have 10x42's I love them, I use my spotting scope also, but the new glasses are amazing, buy the best glass you can afford. I found zeiss works best for me. A guy I hunt with uses 10x50, I am thinking about trading into them, but they are a little harder to find if you want high end.

I'll tell you who it was . . . it was that D@MN Sasquatch!
