When I get to a hunting area I look thru the scope and set it for the optimum balance for me for field of view and definition, which is sometimes 3x but usually between 4x to 5x. I very rarely ever change adjustments to make a shot. About the only time I have it on 10x is shooting at targets or when hunting from a stand with very sparse vegetation (arid west Texas) or on treeless plains.
Generally, I hate too much magnification, see something and throw the scope up get a sight picture zoomed in leaving me trying to locate the animal that is missing from the picture. Not for me, maybe this dislike for high magnification is from hunting rabbits as a kid with open sights.
