Admittedly, I find my best use for the Leupold Firedot Reticle in Texas, when hunting hogs. They are often black and shots come around first and last light. The red dot at the junction of the crosshairs, shows me exactly where the bullet will impact. If I read your post correctly, you are hunting whitetails only and not really concerned with first and last light. All that said, I still think you will find the fire dot feature to come in handy.
Yes, whitetails only, but I AM concerned with first and last light.
