    The 1 Thing You Learned- Scopes for Hunting

    The low end of the magnification is something that's not stressed enough. Couple years ago I had to shoot a mule deer buck that was about 30' away. My scope only went down to 6X. I made the shot, but it was really hard to find him and it almost didn't work

    I just put one of those on my new 1911. Of course it won't be as accurate as a rifle, but I'm still curious to see how far I can use that red dot. Let the fun begin!

    It's so easy to get excited about the newest, latest dialer scope, and not look at how much it weighs. Cracks me up when we spend thousands of dollars to get a light rifle, then saddle it down with a telescope

    I think learning animal behavior is the toughest part of woodsmanship. This is why I believe in getting out there and hunting as much as possible, even if it's not in trophy units

    That one branch in the way is the most frustrating thing in the world! Good point about the thermals. I don't think people who haven't hunted in the steep mountains appreciate appreciate this variable enough
