Return To Binoculars Article Archive   Search the Article Archives Choose Your Hunting Binoculars Carefully By Ann Marier When you are out in the woods looking for game one piece of equipment you will want to have with you is a good pair of hunting binoculars. They help you locate your target before they get too close giving you time to plan to move to another location if necessary before your target realizes you are there. Depending on what you are hunting as well as the terrain you are in will help decide the size of the hunting binoculars you want to carry. If hunting in heavily wooded areas where vision is going to be limited as related to the distance, the typical 8X magnification will probably work for you, but if you are going to be in more open spaces, a 10X magnification may be more your style. You should know that the more magnification you have the smaller the field of view, or the width, you are going to have in your sight. The second number in hunting binoculars description tells you how wide the lens is and how much light will be gathered for viewing. The larger the diameter of the lens, the larger the hunting binoculars as well as the heavier they will be. When choosing hunting binoculars you will want them to be water proof and rugged and while the traditional porro prism binoculars with the offset lenses are typically less expensive than the newer roof prism models, they are usually not waterproof or sturdy enough to handle the rough treatment typical of hunters. Roof mount prism hunting binoculars have the straighter barrel and can withstand rougher treatment. Need For Sight When Game Is Moving Remember that most game move in the early morning or late afternoon when natural lighting may not be the best and a pair of hunting binoculars with low light capabilities and better eye relief may be a better choice. The 10X magnifications often do not allow good viewing under low light conditions. For viewing in the closer ranges of 75 to 100 yards, typical in deer hunting, seven or even eight X magnifications may be sufficient, provided they offer a bright image, are not too heavy for holding for extended periods and can withstand the weather. The full 8X42 size hunting binoculars may be a better choice due to their brighter image and overall adaptability, even though a little heavier to hold for an extended period.
