gotta agree on the Slowwwwwwww down idea. i also got to agree on the leupold rifleman.
show me the yote thats gonna let ya range it and turn your dials, for wind and elevation, and i'll take a day off work. if you see one driving its funny how they don't seem to give a damn about you, but the moment they see that brake light, they are gone in a moment. using that computer in your head will be your fastest means of determining range and wind deflection, a simple cross hair is all you need. 
if you are calling yotes, well.... they will be well under your MPBR anyways, and you may find that even 3 power is too much when that yote hits a dip 75 yards infront of you, and now he's going to pop up beside you at 25 yards.
if 250 is your price, gotta go with the Rifleman, spend the change on shooting stix. if your not using a bipod and or stix, your shooting air. Best of luck to ya!

I agree with all of you on every point. . .

. . .I have not looked through a Cabela's scope, but I also just found a really good deal on a quality used scope that I can afford so that's gonna take care of the scope. . .

. . .I know I won't have time to touch dials but I do need to get better at judging ranges. . .so I would use a range finder to range landmarks ahead of time so that I can start to get a more accurate feel for what ranges really are. . .that's all I meant about the range finder. . .

. . .and yeah I'm a little excited. . .like I said where I grew up I didn't have this many opportunities or the freedom to use a high power centerfire rifle so I'm a little excited!!!

but thank you for keeping me in line and not letting me get too far ahead of myself. . .as far as the dogs up close. . .well that's what my trusty Remington 870 Super Mag with a 3.5" load of #4 buckshot is for!!! I can drop them out to 75 yards with the right choke with that bad mama jamma!!!

Lots of good info already provided.  JoshT's advice is very sound.  Will add another point to the mix and a view suggestions.  If you're looking at just yotes then the a 3x9 scope is fine.  However if you ever intend to shoot any of the ground squirels then you may want to consider a higher power a bigger A/O.  There are decent scopes out there still in your price range that offer that.  Even if you don't need that you may want to check out some of the the mid to lower priced Bushnells, Sightron makes a nice scope, and I've heard decent (jury is still out a bit though) things about Millet.

Just put a VX-1 4-12x40 I had in the safe on mine it will work just fine for now

burris 3x9x40 or 4.5x14.42 are good scopes.

I just put a Vortex scope on me .243. They make some good optics for the price.
