If you are anything like me, you are always looking for ways to improve your odds of finding that trophy whitetail. I have been hunting for many years, and I still get those butterflies in my stomach when that big buck walks in to view.

Deer hunting poses a few challenges though, whether you prefer the wide-open fields or your woods. Your hunting ground preference plays a significant role in deciding on the best deer hunting binoculars.

The two biggest factors consider is the field of view and the magnification. If you enjoy the wide open fields, a wider field of view will be more important. On the other hand, those hunting in the woods will prefer a larger magnification.

My nr 1 recommended binoculars for deer hunting is the Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 10x42. It works beautifully in big fields, but I often use them in the woods when I visit my hunting friends in other parts of the country.

This pair of binos are a great all-around pick, and these will help you find that trophy deer so much easier.

Bushnell is a brand that is well known for their quality optics, and their binoculars, spotting scopes and rifle scopes are trusted around the world by hunters.

The Legend offers value for money, with a price point of well below $300.

My opinion is that the Legend is easily the best hunting binoculars for the money.

When considering any hunting optic, you should only be looking at waterproof and fog proof products. This Bushnell ticks both boxes, meaning you won't miss any deer because of equipment malfunction. It also has a non-slip grip, so you won't drop them mid-hunt and be stuck without your trusty "eyes" in the field.

The Bushnell Legend comes in a few different options. The most popular is the black version, while I prefer the camo version.

Anything not to like
There has a been a few reports where eye cups came loose, but this was typically after heavy use and constant adjustment. If you are the only one using your binoculars, you shouldn't ever experience this type of thing.

If your binoculars get passed around a lot between family members or friends, and the eyecups are adjusted often, keep a close eye on them to ensure you don't experience this issue.

If this does happen to you, you can contact Bushnell to have it fixed up. Their customer support is highly regarded and with good reason.

Wrapping it up
The Bushnell Legend has an ultra wide field of view, weights a good deal less than others in the same price range, and all of this at a price range below $300.

This might not be the perfect binocular for everyone, but is a very good pair of hunting binoculars.
