Checking zero at camp?

[khart_6882]

Does anyone check zero at camp? Example; 10 hour drive with rifle in a soft case in the cab of the pickup then a 15 mile ride with the rifle in the scabbard on a horse (assuming no rodeos)
I know it’s a good idea, but does anyone want to be the a-hole sending a few down range at paper in the backcountry? Especially if there’s a few guys in camp who’d want to do the same.

Please please please do not tell me anything along the lines of “If you buy XYZ scope you won’t have to check zero. Mines been dead on since 1995”

On a trip like you describe, I will check zero after the vehicle ride when closer to my final hunt altitude, if it’s convenient. More about confirming my dope than worry about scope zero. Then I load it in the scabbard and go hunt. If I can’t check zero easily, I load it and go hunt.

I never worry about scaring off critters. I have shot elk and had other elk lay with mine....and I've had them completely ignore the shot.

Typically, yes, I'd like to make sure all my work is still in order. Sometimes it isn't feasible.

Absolutely, I mean your using a suppressor and not a heathen right?
