For my birthday, I just received a pair of 10x42 binoculars that cost much more than what I would ever spend on my own. My desire to get a spotting scope is now diminished. For you muley junkies who hunt open country deer, is 10x42 enough glass provided it's good quality? What little mule deer hunting I've done has been on private land with high deer density where glassing wasn't essential. I am NOT a score seeker. Any 4x4 older than a couple years is enough to thrill me at this point.
