8/10 x 42/50 binos for west side black tail hunting.
Learo2000GT:
Good Afternoon- I am looking at getting some new binos for Hunting black tail in western wa, lake kapowsin area so lots of clear cuts. Looking at getting some new vortex binos. (I get nice discount at eurooptics for being a vet). Any recommendations on what power and if getting a tripod is a good investment. Any recommendation on a tripod setup that won’t break the bank but is easy to pack. Thanks in advance.

Don't have vortex but I love my Swarovski 10x42 in those conditions, I hunt the same area.

Get a primos trigger stick tripod. You can mount glass, shoot from it, and use it as a walking stick. Then order an outdoorsman bino quick connect and youll be set. I glass for hours behind mine, super easy to adjust, and switching from glass to my rifle is a breeze.

I agree with most of this, except using the trigger stick as a walking stick. I had to send mine back because a buddy borrowed them, he said he used them as a walking stick. the next time I went to use it, one leg wouldn't extend. I believe is says in the instructions not to use as walking sticks. Sorry if I'm being petty, just fyi.

I've mostly used 10x in the past but I now have an 8x42 that I'm really liking. Much easier to hold steady and a wider field of view. Sometimes for hunting here on the westside I'll grab my Leupold 6x30s. Love how lightweight they are and only need one hand to hold them.
