Santiam, very nice buck! I've drawn that tag a couple times but ended up hunting blacktail later in the season instead. I did kill a bentleg (benchleg? I've heard it both ways) up near the PCT in blacktail season; that would've been within the High Cascade unit.
How do you like the optical properties of the scope at lower power settings? Is it easy to get behind? One review I read of the Bushnell 3-12 LRHS called out the performance at 3x, 4x as being pretty poor. Don't like that.
