Spoken like a true Pa hunter. However, as Mule Deer said the reticule will still be in focus. And a Deer shoulder will still show as a shoulder and not a big spot of brown.

If in the moment, one thinks they have to see distinct hairs….they don’t, but if they do….then 6x isn’t for them. But FOV isn’t the issue.

Shooting with both eyes open, also makes it much easier.

Another issue is when the adrenaline is on the rise…. And it concentrates focus. It changes what you think you can see and do.
I’ve shot 4 close with 6x. Nothing was…. or seemed….out of focus and where the dot or x rested wasn’t a guess.
