I would recommend looking heavily into Steiners. I own a pair of their Cat Eyes and absolutely love them. Don't know if they even make this pair anymore, but they have a special filter which makes certain color shades more visible which is great for hunting applications. A friend of mine has the Predators and they are simply amazing.
When I was big into hunting all the guys I hunted with used Steiners until they switched to high dollar Zeiss binos. The Zeiss are amazing but IMO aren't worth the extra money unless you need series glass - i.e. you'll be on them your entire hunt viewing mtn ranges or large bean fields.
Plus the Steiners are completely armored with integrated lens covers. Don't know how many times I have dropped em and have never had any issues.
