Beware of mounting the astronomy telescopes on your elk rifle.
A young man in my group had the misfortune of having his scope cranked up to max zoom. His wasn't even that powerful - 3-10 or something. When an elk trotted close by in a very small clearing he could find only hair or branches in his sights. I was grateful he had restraint enough not to shoot and unknown patch of hair.
Young man needs a little more education. Sounds like he got some that day...
Happened to a fella hunting with me this past yr for elk. He was a first time elk hunter and he had if I remember right 4.5x-14x40 scope on his rifle. We started into the timber and I said crank your scope down to 6x. Anyhow several hours later I'm whispering elk get ready to shoot his reply I can't see it he tried and tried so I ended up shooting it! I later asked did you turn your scope down like I said too? He goes no I didn't lol..
Right, you sure you didn't say, "send it"... You know, being in the military and everything...
. You guys were wearing your gilly suits too...... You laid in the same bush for 3 days, without even taking a pizz. A bee landed on your nose and you just stared it down, until it gave up and flew away...
