Dropped my bino's out of the tree tonight and they broke. So now I'm in the market for some new ones. The ones I broke are 10X50 wide angle which I like. Just looking for different opinions on what all of you use and how you like them.......

I have Vortex Vipers and agree the glass is pretty impressive for the money. Not Leica or Swarovski but... Get the best you can afford, you will appreciate the clarity, less eye strain, light gathering, brightness, etc. For deer/tree stand hunting in woods/ag (not the long open distances of the west) I would stick with the mid size vs the compacts, and would look for the better light gathering abilities of a 7x42 or 8x42 vs the size and magnification of a 10 or 12 x 40 or 50.

How much are you looking to spend? I have the Vortex Diamondbacks and I LOVE them. Super clear glass, dont fog up, super durable. They come with a no questions asked warranty. And it really is no questions asked. They'll run you around $300 though..

I agree. Love my set of diamondbacks. The normal price at cabelas in this area is $225. I compared them to binocs that cost twice as much and could not see a significant difference. Easily the best I found for the money.

In the more reasonably priced category Vortex makes a great product and if you ever do drop them, they'll replace them no questions asked. Vortex is American made. Zen Ray makes a nice binoc too. Zen Ray is not an American made product.

The biggest question is how much do you want to spend. Once that's determined you'll know what your options are. For whitetail hunting an 8x binoc is usually a great option. It's smaller and lighter than a 10x and is far more than adequate in terms of magnification.

Leech.......I have a good harness, or so I thought. When I was putting them on last night, they came unhooked on the one side and done they went. First time in 5 years of using this harness.

Overall, I'm looking for something in the 150-200 dollar range. Probably limits my options but that's what the ole checkbook tells me I can afford.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
