    Holy shit, you guys are over thinking things,
    i have both 8x and 10x bino's, in the big open country- tops of the south island, i grab the 10x every time,
    Why? because they help evaluating potential animals that little bit more, field of view doesn't matter that much as
    you should be grid searching the hill face anyway,( i work from top to bottom, then bottom to top) it may take a couple more sweeps of the hill face to complete, than the 8x
    but you shouldn't rush this exercise anyway.
    if you intend to use in the bush then 8x would be ideal for both situations
    it really depends where you are going to use them the most.
    you really need to have them side by side in your usual hunting place, and comparing them, to make an informed decision.
