I am looking to get better glass before hunting season rolls around again. I’m trying to find some binoculars that are good in low light for spotting deer at sunrise and sunset but I don’t want to spend a ton of money. Which brands can I trust for clear images and build quality in tough environments?
 
Vortex makes great stuff, I have a few rifles fitted with their scopes that have served me well.

For bino's, I use Swarovski and for spotting scope I use Vortex.

I would suggest buying the best you can afford, there is a difference even in the Vortex stuff from their low end to their upper end.

Most of my hunting is out West in open country of Idaho......lots of glassing time and LOOONNNGGG shots!

Good luck!
 
I stick with Nikon Monarchs, the clarity is great at dawn and they're durable enough to be tossed around in the truck
 
Don't waste money on cheap stuff. Find some used top-notch glass (like Leica or Swaro)...it's cheaper than new mid-range and it works like it should.
