HIKING WITH A MONOCULAR >>> RECON ® 15 X50"My husband and I spend our winters in New Mexico, where we do a lot of hiking in the high desert and mountains. Game is abundant, eagles soar, coyotes walk along our fields, antelope appear outside our house. We found out that having a monocular with us, at all times has been one the greatest gifts, as we can
zoom in and watch that eagle soar, watch the coyote call in his mate, watch the antelope as they nuzzle each other. Just a last week I ordered one for my son-in-
law for his birthday and the rest of the guys in the family will get one also.” - RITA from New Mexico, United States
