Do you use binoculars when you bow hunt deer

Do you try to glass the brush when you're bow hunting?

Always have them when hunting regardless of weapon, time of day or night, or animal being hunted.

Scope. But I suck at deer hunting so maybe I should try it.

Yes. Never know when I need to judge a buck on the hoof. I only carry a small pair that way they take up little room and I can hide them when the deer starts to get close

For years I relied on scope only. Didn't realize what I was missing until I invested in a quality pair of binoculars. Binoculars help minimize movement while on stand and are easier to manipulate than a scoped long gun.
Just my .02c

Yes but when bow hunting I usually have a smaller pair and a little less power than when I rifle hunt.

I use binoculars hunting anything it is the one piece of outdoor equipment I will not go out without.....that and a knife

No, total waste of space while bowhunting.

Depends on the type of land I'm hunting.
Edge of a field, yep. In a damn thicket, nope.

If I am hunting deer I have my Binos handy

I just use my range finder. 4x is plenty for bowhunting the pine thickets of south AR

Completely agree. I do carry a rangefinder though.

I never thought about using the range finder but I like the idea.
I can see the value of binoculars when rifle hunting on a line or on a relatively open range but, I'm trying to cut down the gear I have to carry while climbing, especially when bow hunting in "close quarters".

I carried a rangefinder for a while. Ended up realizing there was no practical use for it other than trying to memorize trees and such before the shot while having no real idea where my shot opportunity will be.

No cause I hunt long enough to no if it deer or not

What does this have to do with killing ducks?
