I've never used binoculars, but I am thinking about maybe getting a set for next year. On the downside, it's one more thing to carry around and keep track of. But, there are times when I wish I had them, especially to determine the sex and age of antlerless deer...during both bow and gun season.

So what size magnification and objective lens are best suited for hunting archery and gun? Is 20 oz weight too big or just the right size? If you have a set you like, let's hear about them.
