[QUOTE="brentc, post: 593473, member: 16938"] You really need to have the best optics you can afford. I tried getting by with a pair of higher end Pentax binos that I thought were pretty dang good, but I could only spot about 1/3 of the bears my buddy was spotting with his Swaro ELs. The next year I went prepared with my own set of ELs and was surprised at how little I was seeing through my "good" Pentax DCF WPs a year prior. A good set of binos and spotting scope will allow you comb the shadows for wary black bears and they are required for accurate field judging to easier distinguish a good black bear from a dink. Believe me, you'll need all the help you can get when judging bears for size at a distance. A good rangefinder also helps when you can put the bear into a distance perspective. Even seasoned bear hunters can have a difficult time judging bears. [/QUOTE]
