Title: 3x4 blacktail
Post by: rsrobins on October 26, 2012, 10:53:02 PM
Got off work from night shift and decided to go for a quick hunt before I went to bed. I stopped by the house grabbed my gun and gear and didn't realize I had forgotten my binoculars until I was half way up to where I wanted to hunt. I was disgusted with myself but I figured it was gonna just be a quick look anyway. Just as I was getting to where I could look over the clearcut I was irritated with myself once again for not bringing my binoculars. I had to look through my scope to see if I could find something. The very first place I look I see this guy standing about 250a yards down the hill from me. I didn't have a rest so I dropped to one knee put my elbow on my other knee and tried to steady a shot. I fired and he walked up behind a leave strip just up the hill from him. I ran up the hill to try to see the other side of the strip as I got up the hill I see him walking up the ridge. I get a good stump for a rest and he stops broad side I shoot for behind the shoulder and this time he falls out of sight. As it turns out I just skimmed his back on the first shot. It took me a few hours to drag him out and get him strung up didn't get much sleep but it was well worth it.

Great looking buck. I've found it's usually good luck to forget an important item.   :tup:

Next time try forgetting your hunting license and tag. Guaranteed you will get a deer.   :chuckle:

Congrats on the nice buck but its a very bad idea to use your scope as bino's, there is nothing that pisses me off more in the field than being scoped by someone.

Nothing wrong with using your scope instead of binos. You just simply use the common sense not to look at those blaze orange spots amongst the green and brown background. Doing it just gets a bad rap from those hunters not smart enough to scan with naked eye at the same time and avoid pointing their weapon at someone.

I admit that didn't sound good the way I wrote that but I assure you I wasn't just waving my gun wildly all over the place.

I agree. Not safe at all.

Wrong! Muzzle control, muzzle control, muzzle control! You never use your scope to just look around, :bash: your gun should never be pointed in the direction of another person and you can't rely on others to be clearly visible to the naked eye.

Not trying to thread-crap but let's not forget a hiker dressed in black was misidentified, shot and killed by a hunter in skagit a few years ago this way.  If memory serves the range was reported as like 140 yards. One life lost and many lives destroyed including the 14 year old hunter, and the hikers young kids.

 Using your scope attached to your rifle to look around and identify game is not acceptable.

It is a nice buck.
