Using Rifle Scopes To Glass With!

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.

 Holy crap, I read that first sentence and began to boil, you got me.

would a laser pointer help deter it? Repeats anyways..

I have had this happen too many times. Nothing makes me more angry than having some dip*censored* point their rifle at me. It is complete BS.

or shoot a grouse with a 300 winmag out a tree

Everyone should have binos, a cheap set is better than nothing and you can find them pretty cheap if you look

I had a guy that was plenty old enough to know better, scope me at about 30 yards once. I tried to keep my cool, walked up to him and ask him what he thought he was doing. He said, oh sorry, I left my binoculars in my truck. I just shook my head and hiked out of the area. No reasoning with someone like that, and not worth going to jail for. At that point distance was my friend.

I find it a good opportunity to give a huge white full moon to the Glasser. Seriously though, that's why I muzzle load now. Just too much stupid going on out there.

Last time I was scoped I didn't want to have to yell across the canyon and scare off any deer in the area so I flipped the bird with both hands to make him stop.  So, what did the moron do?  He redoubled his scoping effort to try to figure out what I was doing.  It took him about 10 more seconds before he got the message and when he did he stood up and walked into the next canyon.  Idiot!

Just to be devils advocate. Unless they are trespassing then they might get the point quick

I once went hunting with my grandfather...upon realizing we were being tracked with a scope, he shouted, "that's intent, if you keep your rifle on me, I'll shoot back!"  Needless to say the woods were ours that day!

Had a guy scope searching for bear in a clearcut that I was archery elk hunting in.  When he got to me, he was looking down my arrow with my bow up. He jumped a bit and went away, jerk!

Exactly why I got permission to hunt on private land. Way too many idiots out there pointing guns at people. I have 4 boys and don't need any problems. Happens to almost every hunter, whether they know it or not every year. You can buy a great set of Vortex binoculars for $199. Or buy a range finder and use that to look at people.

I used to carry one of these when I was scouting.  Had a high powered variable scope on it.  It was pretty sweet not having to focus all the time.  Plus the scope was way better than the garbage binos I had back then.  Later I mounted a spot light to it for competitive varmint hunting.  It already had a push button trigger for switching from red to burn.  Still have it boxed up around here somewhere.

That's about the only acceptable way I see using a rifle scope to glass with.
