Last year i bought a Bushnell laser range finder for a cool $300 and tried it out .It was very accurate & quite useful for my mountain hunts.This year Bushnell has come out with a binocular and range finder combined(price not known)and it means an extra expense.Every time you buy something new and are happy with it the hunting industry comes up with another item which is even better or more useful and it goes on and on until you are completely out of pocket.
Thats commercial enterprise for you.
