80mm is great for glassing from the highway but no fun to pack in. It not only weighs a ton but it also takes up more space in your pack. I carry a 65mm but I know a lot of guys just bring binoculars (12 or 15 power) if they've done their pre-scouting an know they are heading into a good sheep area and aren't going to have to glass 3 miles.
