Many hunters are keen birders and probably have a lot more sympathy and respect for wildlife than you ever will. In fact I don't know of any hunters who enjoy killing anything, even a fly for that matter. It's also a necessary chore in parts of the country where I live. Deer and wild pigs do a lot of damage to farmland crops and forestry. I love observing our native birds here in New Zealand. However, I also enjoy watching all wildlife; a good set of bins is essential to that. I particularly liked the 10x42 HT. They were the sharpest binoculars I've ever owned and the focussing was a joy; thought the colour was fairly neutral too.  I'm sorry I ever sold them.</blockquote>
