Yeah, for whitetail. Mule deer will run 18" to 20", ear tip to ear tip.

They always look bigger than they really are.

Anybody hear of the "shrinkage" factor? I carry a good set of full-size binos in my fanny pack for just that reason. Ever shot a deer only to go" I shot one of these little guys last year!!"
