Using Rifle Scopes To Glass With!
« on: October 09, 2015, 01:03:16 PM »
 With modern deer ramping up, I wanted to remind those of you that don't have binoculars and use your rifle scope to look around with, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!
 It seems to happen to me and my kids every year, and although it offers a great teaching lesson for my kids, it's got to stop!
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

If you do use your rifle scope to look around at least take it off your rifle before doing so and reinstall it when you see your shooter buck.

Amen, we preach it all the time in hunter education.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Glassed a guy a few years ago doing this to me.  Never acceptable, ever.  Big reason why I try not to hunt rifle seasons.

That is the one thing that brings back my fears about guns and it seems to happen to me at least once every deer season that I have hunted.  I tend to try very hard to hike away from other people or find a hidey hole and stay put.  I hate having guns pointed at me ...hate it.

Definitely NOT cool! I've experienced this and it is an experience that sends chills down my spine every time I think about it. Great Reminder/Warning huntnphool!

I do it quite often, but I keep the safety on :dunno:

Just kidding. It's BS 100% and should be illegal.

I don't rifle deer hunt much anymore other than with my wife, however I remember being young and seeing jackwagons do this a lot.
