Hunting Binoculars

Sitting in the woods waiting for game to pass by can be a tedious wait, but you can gain an advantage by using hunting binoculars while sitting in your tree stand. You will able to spot the game from a distance and verify a projected path and end the question of which way it is traveling.

However, there are numerous considerations in choosing the best hunting binoculars for you, and the geographical locations in which you hunt. Magnification, light gathering and ability to work in the weather environment of your hunting grounds will determine a good pair of hunting binoculars.

For general use binoculars with a size rating of 8x30 would work well, that is they have a magnification factor of eight and light gathering ability of 30. However, if you plan to get out in the wilds before dawn, perhaps hunting binoculars with a 8x40 or 7x50 rating would be better as they would have more light gathering capability.

Check For Non-Fogging Lenses

Hermetically sealed hunting binoculars filed with nitrogen are generally used for extreme weather conditions where freezing is a distinct possibility. They should also have the ability to be collimated as they may need adjusting as time goes by.

Each side of hunting binoculars are simple a telescope attached to another identical telescope. Their optical array is different than traditional telescopes to make them smaller and easier to handle. Both sides should give a bright, clear and identical image if viewed individually. Working together they give the appearance of a three-dimensional image, nearly identical to the original.

Magnesium fluoride coated lenses also reduce reflection to allow for brighter and more accurate renditions of the subject. A good pair of hunting binoculars will also have reduced reflective quality to reduce the amount of glare visible to animals. The outside of the unit should also be considered as to its visibility to game animals. Camouflage coverings are popular on hunting binoculars.

Another concern of hunters is noise and hunting binoculars usually have no exposed metal which would click together and possibly give away a hunter’s position. Putting it all together you might consider a 12x50 power set of hunting binoculars with coated lenses, ability to be calibrated and collimated as they get used. Flat green exterior with rubberized coating, nitrogen-filled and waterproof for up to one meter depth, providing years of reliable service and weighing just under two pounds.
