About two years ago I decided to upgrade my field glasses and went with Zeiss conquest HD 10x42. Couldn't be happier. Quality Glass makes a world of difference.
Yeah just a simple bino harness is all you need. And time hiking with em so your shoulders and neck get used to it.
But do bring like 1 or 2 wiper cloths with ya though. Especially if it's a little rainy. Or very windy and thus exceptionally dusty.
That "coyote" I saw turned out to be a grey fox (this is why I'm in the Newbie Den).No deer..... .please......any newbie that can walk quietly enough to glass for 10 minutes on a rock and be 5 yrds from a sleeping yote got my attention!
Well done Zak, let us know how 15 miles feels in two days....lol
