Always take your binos!

I like those harnesses for the binos that keep them on the chest. Speaking of optics, had nice 8pt 75yds walking broadside last day of gun here in Pa. Ready to shoot, seen better opening in scope so waited, he step in , seen another better shot opening, waited..BLAM..off he run..up one hill, over next x posted ground..tracked for long way past that..but..no sign of a hit???..no fur????..no blood in snow???...was clean miss???..well sat back down at tree spot and found this..even though waited for better shot, when pulled trigger, scope picture was clean but only 4' in front of me was the 2" grapevine I had killed clean..this was what tossed round elsewhere..if only I had shot seconds before. But the vine was at a 45 angle and just had to align with the bore at fire..lmao..oh well..but the guys that had kicked him toward me said he was with a doe..I said..not so..was with a 1/2 rack with 2pts so glad nobody shot him by mistake..optics are very important...did come x a 6pt someone had shot in the gamelands and left..sad..we have the 4pt rule to one side here in my area and even if count 3 pts as buck goes past, not all have a brow tine..this had to be what happened..
