congrats on your first blackie, so what was the skinny with the scope? was it a piece of junk or did you just breathe all over it when you were excited
my grandpa always said "if it aint broke dont fix it"

So was it fogged up on the inside or the outside?

only the outside of the scope, it cleared pretty quick after i shot it, who knows, maybe it was all my hot air from me hyperventelating the entire time saying "holly ...." over and over about 3000 times in about 21 seconds. After the hunt, i realized how important anti fog is.... I shoulda known better, i use it on my dive masks, and it works, but crap, I didn't expect to shoot a deer honestly, I've spent hundreds of days in the woods chasin deer and never shot a buck so I figured it would be about the same day

Sounds like a scenario that a friend named Leupold could fix for you. Sweet buck
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

All scopes will fog up on the outside, yes, even Leupold.
