Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Fixed 10X for Hunting

A Montana buck I killed back in 2011, with five minutes of legal shooting light left. Here we have until 1/2 hour after sunset, or 1/2 hour before sunrise to legally shoot. That's pretty liberal in my opinion. Anyway, back to the buck....I had been trying for this buck for a couple years, and only got my eye on him four times. Twice before the season opened in August, 2011, and once during archery season in 2010. My opportunity came on November 2nd, 2011. After hiking in to a good vantage point, and playing out a hunch, he finally appeared out of the heavy timber. The range was 338 yards. Through the 10X S&B, I could see it was him without any doubt. I put .8 on the elevation turret and fired. Glad I had that setup that afternoon.....
