Been hunting in Arkansas this year with family and have let some bucks walk were I couldn't verify three points on one side at one hundred yards seems impossible. And by the way I'm hunting a knockdown area that's why I have distant shots. Looking for meat for freezer not horn size.

Then I would suggest a pair of quality binoculars. I can easily discern points at 100 yards with a pair 10x42 Steiner binocs. A less expensive pair of Nikons will provide equally good results.

these bucks u let walk while not hunting for horns trying ta put some meat in freezer weren't legal ta shoot? enjoy the time spent hunting with family, best wishes. theirs an old saying, a meal tastes bettter whin its free . as pappy always say's: that person has yet, ta eat my cooking oh, antler size dosent affect the flavor of the meat.

If three points are not visible at 100 yards, sounds like the rule did a good job of protecting a young deer.

Besides a coating, I let my binos and rifle/scope get to outside temps if I can. Never had the problem with a scope though.

Sometimes I tuck my binocs into my jacket to keep them warm. When it's cold the eyepieces will sometimes fog from your body heat and moisture from your eyes.
