Deer hunting BS thread

I like nikon, dad has one on his .270, and .243, and i've got one on my 30-30
Dad has the monarch 3-9x40, and the pro staff 3-9x40, I've got the 3-9x40 pro staff.

 

I've always liked Nikon and Leupold. Too bad the nice Leupold's costs more than most of my guns haha

 

Nikon and leupold no doubt. I've got the monarch on my browning and love it. My dad has the leupold on his. I've had mine for 13 years and never had an issue with it.

 

My .270 I just got still has the cheap Tasco on it that came with it and it's a POS. I think I'm gonna get the Nikon Buckmaster 3x9 ($190) or the Leupold VX-1 ($229). My Remington has a Nikon, so I might try the Leupold to compare

 

I've got a buddy with a buck master. Pretty nice scope at a good price. Also you can't go wrong with the vx-1 either

 

Going home to TN on leave in exactly 3 weeks to chase some white tail and see the family. Can't wait!!!

 

Leupold was my first choice. Then Nikon, then Redfield.

Anyone ever had one with the illuminated reticle? Pros/Cons?

 

What do y'all think of the Tasco World Class? My buddy swears by them

 

Plus, they're only $80 for a 16x40

 

What I've always thought is why would I have a nice browning and put a cheap scope on it.

 

Yea...I've got Tascos on my .243 and my muzzleloader. Wanted to get somethin a little better for this one.

 

Yeah no doubt. Anything Nikon is good really though

 

I've always heard the Tasco World Class is a pretty good scope...supposedly better than all their other garbage.

some good looking deer in here this season! our Muzzleloader opens next weekend so have not been yet this year.


but me and dad are looking at bows for next year since it opens in october and we would get 1 to 2 more months of hunting time.

 

Weird evening out in the woods tonight. I got setup about 2pm and settled in on a nice thicket to wait for dark. around 3 30 it goes from clear and warm to 30mph winds and rainy in about 5 minutes. decide to ride it out and 20 minutes later it is right back to where it started. after the wind let up the squirrels came back out but they were all moving at the speed of light. instead of normal hippity hopping they were at a dead sprint everywhere. Then about an hour before dark I hear some turkeys comin up from the bottom by the creek but when i see them they are aslo at a full sprint. as they crest the ridge they all take off and fly away. a few minutes later from behind me 2 deer come in at a full sprint. They passed within 5 feet of me and I grunted at em but they didnt even slow down. just kept on rollin like satin himself was after them. Finally it gets dark and i climb down and like 3 squirrels come out of their nests and start running around no further than 15 yards from me.

I dont know what was goin on in there today but it was the strangest thing ive ever seen

 

^that's weird, the only time i've heard of animals running like that is when theres a fire.

I asked in the waterfowl thread but it's dead, so i'll ask here, I'm buying a BPS soon and i'm getting the camo model, It'll be a multi-purpose gun, used for ducks,turkeys, trap, and possibly deer, my camo options are real tree AP (26'' barrel, about $700), and mossy oak breakup infinite (28'' barrel, almost $800) (priced through buds gun shop)

I'm gonna check with the LGS and see how much he can get me a 26'' mossy oak for also.


Thoughts?

 

Whacked a doe this evenin

 

get the cheaper one. camo is camo. if they are gonna bust you because of the camo pattern on your gun they are gonna bust you for something else first. the point of camo is to break up your outline and not to blend in with your surroundings. animals don't know the difference between mossy oak/duck blind/real tree. all they know is there is an outline there or there isnt an outline there
