Never had a situation where I needed one. Am I missing something? I call, and set up/ move based on what I hear or don't hear or already know scouting/ history- wise.

Depends on the terrain. I bring them because I have long pipelines and logging roads with some open hardwoods. Doesn't hurt.

They have their place. When hunting Nebraska and South Dakota they proved very valuable. Spotting birds in the Sandhills isn't tough. Making a winding 1-2 mile trek only to determine there's no gobblers among them is rough. That's when the binocs really pay off.

I was actually thinking same thing last hunt. Kinda worthless in heavy woods. U hear the turkey don't see him 300 yards out

I don't go without them. I use them on plenty of hunts, mostly seeing whether I'm messing with jakes or longbeards in addition to how many of each. Clearly they are not needed to kill a bird, but binoculars are valuble tool in my hunting. When I hunt out west... multiply their need x10.

They definitely come in handy hunting west Texas around Eldorado. Some thick areas of cedar and mesquite on rolling hills but lots of openings to scan.
Beautiful country but this year was a bad year for us. Not many birds although the quail have made great strides in coming back from the drought. I don't understand why we still have so few turkey's. We've had a couple years now of good rainfall and it seems all the deer and other birds have made a good comeback, except for the turkey.
Oh well still love hunting Turkey as much or more than deer!

tuekey hunting?
I'm not even sure what a tuekey is?
Sorry, couldn't help myself. I think it's all a matter of the terrain you hunt in. Long open area's, like pipeline rows as mentioned by one poster, may be useful. Heavily wooded area's, not so much for the hunting itself. I like have binoculars anytime I'm out in case I want to inspect an item like a bird or some other object off in the distance.

I hunt a lot of open fields and long wide pipeline, so they definitely help in those situations.

binocs are second only to a killing implement as far as value goes for gear on a hunt... sometimes they are first....
