 Carrying binos in the field
I got out of the habit after putting some small dents in the top of the butt stock on my Ruger No 1 during my first Elk hunt. I had no problem when walking, but in Idaho it seemed like we were always going up (yea I know it's impossible to always be going up). My binos would start swinging then bonk into the butt stock. That was a great justification by onehorse for carrying them on MN hunts I never have tried the shifting focus technique, but I will now. I always thought that unless I was counting points as a trophy hunter I didn't need them in the woods here in MN. I become focused on whether I have a unobstructed shot into the boiler room if I see horns. I personally love my Zeiss 8x30 armored binos but they are a little heavy, I haven't tried one of the chest attachment systems. Thanks again for the input everyone....
