Some of the nicest days for still hunting or tracking back here is when it's snowing or raining...not blizzards or downpours but enough to smear lenses constantly if you are on the move.

Shots are generally on the short side( not unusual to walk up on a buck under those conditions),and a good receiver sight with aperture removed is as good as it gets for that stuff.

These conditions inevitably pop up every year here. 99% of the time a scope is the right tool, but there are times when it's just a PITA and can cost an opportunity.
