Get Better Mule Deer Hunting

[LONE HUNTER]

I kinda wish rather then going full crazy on rifles they just said red dots or 1x just like muzzy. Could still use our current rifles and it neuters them plenty well. Not sure gun smiths even know how to drill and tap for open sights anymore (kidding of course). Oh well guess we will see how things go on the cache unit

I think is a huge difference between a 1x cross hair scope and old school iron sights though. I bet someone with a flat shooting CF cartridge could still kill cleanly out to 400.

Regardless, I think it's a really interesting idea and am looking forward to the results even though I'm on the fence as to how much difference it will actually make in the population and size of bucks.

I mean maybe, but i've hunted plenty with a 1x and hitting past 200 is mucho hard. Same with a red dot. Some fancy peep sight would probably be better than a 1x. The point isn't to make it impossible, just reduce harvest. Most guys aren't shooting past 250 yards with a 1x. especially anyone older than about 40 years old (eye sight becomes a player).

I agree on it being an interesting idea too though. If it shows positive results maybe I will end up liking it>

Really? That is surprising . I haven't used or looked through a fixed 1x, so I am just basing my thoughts on a 2x variable I used to have. I'll make sure to check one out next time I'm at the sporting goods store.

red dots.... I've never used one that I would actually take hunting unless it was an up close fast action type of hunt, like hogs maybe.
