Anyone ever use a monocular for hunting? If so what brand, power, and where did you get it?
Yep, Camo Tasco 10x25 on sale at local farm store. Less than 20.00 if i lose it no biggy. works pretty good, fits in my pocket.
Yup, Swedish WW 2 roof prism 6x monocular from Sportsman's Guide. Liked it enough I ordered a second one. Vintage 1940ish but Swedish quality with a cool leather case and a yellow tinted lens filter that can be used for very bright or dim conditions. Don't remember the price but I think it was under $40. I just like old stuff....
I bought one of the one Dave Bulla did after he told me about it. Mine has the artillery grid in it.
they are 6x. what I use it for is to sort out the button bucks from the yearling does. to make sure the sows are dry and what size they are. works great.

I use a monocular that I bought @ Sportsman's Warehouse for about $10 if I remember right. It's 6X and the brand is Vanguard. I got tired of carrying around full-sized binos and I have trouble focusing both eyes with them anymore for some reason (even with higher quality binos) so the little monocular works well for me.
I use a 10 power monocular I picked up from a sporting goods store because I had gone hunting out of town and forgot my Bino's! The monocular is much easier and faster to use when hunting on the ground. I would not use it for extensive glassing sessions but they are light and fast to use and work great.
