if I can't count tines with my setup it is either dark, or better then 5 miles away

to be honest i have not put much thought about a pair of Binocs, but you get the right set im sure it would be just as good, if not better especially for fatigue!  I think i would lean more toward the spotter just for the fact that i am gonna use my binos primarily, and the scope to size up the animal!
