    I'd look for something under 8x for bush hunting. I have a pair of Kowa 6.5x32 BDIIs and they are excellent binos. Super wide FOV and 6.5x is more than enough for spotting animals even at a few...

    Made by a friend who surprised me with at the beginning of a hunting trip. He also did the leatherwork. He's one of those clever bastards🙂 Got to use it same day. Feek it's sharp and holds it's edge.
