IMO, the only hunting where open sights are better than a scope is elephant hunting.
On the other hand, I would want open sights or, better, an apperature like the Talley for any dangerous game rifle, and I would want to take that scope off should the need to follow in the thick stuff arise.
I hunt buff with an open sighted double rifle because to me it is more fun. But I don't delude myself into thinking that an open sighted rifle is as good a tool for buff hunting as one with a low power scope.
