Using Rifle Scopes To Glass With!

[huntnphool]

 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!

  You are totally correct on that.

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.

Wise words.

Would be easier to just buzz the drone over to check it out....

Amen, we preach it all the time in hunter education.

#1 rule- KEEP MUZZLE IN SAFE DIRECTION. If I see someone scope my son or I, that will be the whooping of their life!!!!!!!

It's the best way to get a ass beating ! If you can afford to go hunting you can afford binoculars period !

  you can get some for much cheaper than a tag or box of rounds these days.

I keep my binoculars duck taped to the top of my rifle though what am I supposed to do???

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

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.
