Well, you know, if you're in my crosshairs and you're on MY land trespassing....who's fault is that? ROFL! I wouldn't hesitate to use my rifle scope on my own property except that I'd rather use binos because it involves less movement. I have a 4x laser rangefinder I often carry for glassing, don't need that much power out there. It gives me something to play with while I sit...."Hmm, how far is it to that tree?" ....
Perhaps, but a 400 dollar Leupold spotter with 60 power is probably going to be more useful out there than a 10 power Swarovski binocular, I'm guessing. You can get some pretty danged compact spotting scopes, too, for hunting. Carry some compact armored binos for quick looks and the spotter for the serious glassing. I'll also get me a good tripod to stick in the day pack, too. Walk out to one of these canyons, sit on a rock, whip out the tripod and scope and start glassing. Find those deer, plan the stalk. When I was hunting out there, I just had a set of cheap, 100 dollar compact 10x armored binocs. I was able to spot deer, but at the ranges I was spotting them, I'd liked to have had more power to judge quality of the bucks, to know which one to try for.

a spotting scope, not binos, is almost mandatory.
Not if you have a set of Swarovski or similar-quality binos. ...which is what I posted in the first place.
