Well, ZeroJunk ... I think ZERO and JUNK are perfect for you! Hunt alone

Ah! An obvious genius chimes in and really adds something to the conversation.
I have spent 40 to 60 days a year hunting something for over 40 years.I have yet to put a rifle scope on another hunter.I do not need a scope or binoculars to tell the difference between a deer,elk or man.
If a man likes to look around with binoculars fine,but explain to me how that is going to make anybody safer.You may have some emotional reaction to somebody pointing a rifle at you, but two more things have to happen.He has to take it off safety and pull the trigger.
If you are hunting with somebody that is stupid enough to shoot you just because he looked at you throuh a rifle scope,do you think binoculars are going to save you?
The men I hunt with can look at me through a rifle scope any time they want to. Otherwise, I would not hunt with them.
Now. As a rule, I would advise all hunters to use binoculars.There is nothing on your hunting license that says you are not an idiot.People shot out of treestands,women shot hanging out cloths whose gloves looked like deer ears,people talking about taking sound shots,shooting when it is too dark.There are plenty of hunters out there who have absolutely no clue.
So,as a rule using binoculars is sound advice.
