[QUOTE="Wyowind, post: 2089018, member: 67305"] As stated before, it depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If you are doing a lot of glassing, a quality binocular on a good tripod (does not have to be a big tripod) is way easier on the eyes than looking through a spotting scope for all of that time. Perhaps the best way to look for game, before you actually start after any animals, is to look first with a pair of binoculars, and then use the spotting scope to get a better look at whatever you find. If you are going hiking into the back country to hunt bighorn sheep for example, then I would advise you to have both a good quality binocular and a spotting scope with you. The spotting scope is essential in judging trophy quality of a sheep at distance. But for most of the hunting that I do in WY, I would prefer to use the spotting scope before I leave camp, vehicle, etc. Then when I take off after something, I leave the spotting scope behind and just take a pair of binoculars with me (10x42). The binoculars are way more important to me than my spotting scope. While I like having both kinds of optics, the binoculars are much better general purpose tools. Wyowind [/QUOTE]
