Gear is put to the test, as well as the strength and endurance of a\u00a0hunter\u2019s\u00a0body and emotions. It\u2019s critical, when a hunt comes together,\u00a0to have the best tools and equipment that are right for you and your hunt. Choosing the right optics is a paramount decision for big game hunting, especially hunting big country like the vast expanses of the west.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>An investment in quality optics and advanced improvements in optics technology should be considered a critical component of your hunt. Your choice in optics will weigh heavily on methods and opportunities for success. Putting those tools to work in an efficient and dynamic approach makes your hunts more productive and rewarding. The keystone optics aside from your rifle scope on the hunt, include binoculars, range finder, and spotting scope. Consider the synergy between the tools in your kit, how they can efficiently be used in conjunction with one another, and any efficiencies one tool can offer the other, either in pairing or in practice.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Hunting Optics | Vortex Binoculars and Spotting Scope Review\" width=\"801\" height=\"451\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IuXFkwTsRqQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rangefinder\u00a0and Binocular Combination\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>For decades, the optics toolkit for almost any big game hunt included a quality pair of binoculars, and a quality range finder. Both of these tools are critical to the hunt, both for finding and targeting game, and for accuracy.\u00a0Optics companies have played around with the idea of a combined rangefinder \/ binocular combination unit for years, often resulting in good binoculars that were decent at range finding, or a good range finder with decent binoculars.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Vortex Fury Laser\u00a0Rangefinding\u00a0Binoculars<\/em>\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>Vortex Optics has found a winner by combining their trusted 10X42 roof prism binoculars with their dependable laser range finder, producing an all in one critical tool for the hunt and the hunter. The\u00a0Fury optics line\u00a0by Vortex offers versatility, convenience, speed and efficiency in the field with dual purpose functionality. Vortex Fury range finding binoculars combine the advantages of high definition binocular lenses with an angle compensated laser range finder.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Advantages of\u00a0Rangefinding\u00a0Binoculars\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Combining Binoculars and Rangefinder Offers Less to Keep Track of\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>By combining two critical tools into one compact and easy to use package, the hunter is offered a level of ease, and has only one tool to look after. When you\u2019re engaged in the hunt, making considerations and deciding tactics for things like wind, topography, and terrain; having one less tool to worry about being left behind, staying clean, keeping dry, and in kept working order is huge.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00a0<\/h4>\n<h4>Glassing and Ranging Behind a Single Optic\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>A rangefinder \/ binocular combination offers hunters the ability to quickly and seamlessly both glass and range during long glassing sessions, on a spot and stalk, or during fast action. Providing the capability to focus on a distant object with quality binoculars and determine the conclusive range to that object without having to lower the binoculars, and find the target again in a new optic is incredible. Glassing distant ridges, canyons, and\u00a0tree lines\u00a0behind powerful binoculars with the ability to simply\u00a0push a button for an accurate range is a game changer for the hunter who lets their optics do the leg work.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><\/figure>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00a0<\/h4>\n<h4>Using\u00a0Rangefinding\u00a0Binoculars with a Hunting Partner\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>Hunting fellowship and friendships are a critical part of the\u00a0outdoor and hunting adventure experience. Whether you share your trips with family or a certain group of exceptional friends who appreciate your passion, learning tactics for hunting together can put you in a fantastic position to fill that tag.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Glassing sessions and spot and stalk hunts with a glassing team will put more eyes on the terrain and on the big game you pursue. Exceptional\u00a0rangefinding\u00a0binoculars offer a spotter the ability to track a wide field of view, and range quickly and efficiently, especially moving targets. Putting eyes on a group of moving game animals and your hunting partner on the stalk at the same time with the convenience of push button ranges is a game changer. Communication through hand signals between spotter and shooter with\u00a0accurate ranges and not having to switch optics from\u00a0binos\u00a0to range finder can mean the difference between making the shot happen, and getting busted.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rangefinding\u00a0Binoculars Pair Perfectly with a Spotting Scope<\/h3>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" class=\"wp-image-9118\" src=\"https:\/\/www.purehunting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PureHunting_SpottePic_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/purehunting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PureHunting_SpottePic_3.jpg 960w, https:\/\/purehunting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PureHunting_SpottePic_3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/purehunting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PureHunting_SpottePic_3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/purehunting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PureHunting_SpottePic_3-100x67.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Spotting scopes are must have tools for finding big game in big country. Their ability to bring far off objects close, collect light in low light conditions, and focus on details of\u00a0remote objects is critical. With a quality spotting scope, you can not only find that far off game animal, but examine it in detail without putting miles on your boots. Spotting scopes allow you to scout miles of territory, distant ridges, remote water holes, and far off canyons efficiently and strategically; letting your eyes do the work and saving your legs for the hunt. Use a quality spotting scope like the\u00a0Vortex Viper lineup\u00a0to not only identify far off game animals, but to pick out landmarks and plan travel corridors according to the topography and the wind.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While spotting scopes provide a crucial and integral part of your hunting strategy, they inherently have a vulnerability of tunnel vision. The same proficiency that offers magnified detail and the ability to concentrate on small areas of far off geography, also bears the susceptibleness of losing sight of the larger picture. The constricted vision of a spotting scope can be like wearing blinders, even losing relationship to the distance to\u00a0far off objects. Pairing the wide field of view offered by binoculars with the focus of a spotting scope is an amazingly effective glassing strategy. Through incorporating\u00a0rangefinding\u00a0binoculars into the mix, you\u2019ve put together the ultimate toolkit. All\u00a0the advantages that the rangefinder binoculars bring to bear on the hunt are magnified when paired with a spotting scope.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" class=\"wp-image-9119\" src=\"https:\/\/www.purehunting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PureHunting_MuleyPic_4.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/purehunting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PureHunting_MuleyPic_4.jpg 960w, https:\/\/purehunting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PureHunting_MuleyPic_4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/purehunting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PureHunting_MuleyPic_4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/purehunting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/PureHunting_MuleyPic_4-100x67.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00a0<\/h2>\n<h3>Choosing the Right Hunting Optics\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p>Big game hunting seasons seem to always be on the edge.
