I appreciate the responses, and keep them coming. The link below will help explain why I was so curious what you guys think (except for that repugnant dolt starman).

When responding, keep in mind I'm not talking about picking up your scoped rifle to "size up" a buck after you've already seen him with your naked eye or binocs. I'm talking about randomly picking up your LOADED,scoped rifle when you decide to scan across the ground you're hunting for game instead of doing the job with binoculars.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
