The Best Binoculars For Deer Hunting

1 Comment

Using a decent pair of binoculars is essential to deer management. The proper use of binoculars allows you to assess the quarry and choose suitable beasts for culling. But there is more to using binoculars effectively than buying the first pair you try, and scanning your hunting ground with the glasses glued to your eye.

How do you tell the power of a pair of binoculars? There are three magic numbers which tell you a lot about what you can do with a pair of binoculars. The first two of these numbers are normally written as 8 x 40, 10 x 50, 7 x 35 etc. The third number is the field of view at 1000 yards. This is the distance in feet that you will be able to see at 1000 yards.

My first experience of roe stalking

Until I was in my early twenties the only deer I had seen were in parks; and I hadn’t seen many of those. And I always considered myself good at spotting wildlife. When we first visited Scotland we passed half a dozen red deer on moorland. When we moved to Scotland, staying in an old farmhouse 20 miles South of Edinburgh, I was delighted to spot a herd of 8 or so deer occasionally feeding in a field about 600 yards from the house, although I could not identify them.
