[QUOTE="Terrier, post: 5775685, member: 1021"] My reasoning is that when I have a deer show up close, if my scope is wide open on the lowest setting I'll be able to find the deer in that scope and I can put the cross hairs where they need to be when it’s close like that. . If the deer is farther away and it would help to turn it up to a higher power, the deer will likely not see or hear me do that, and it'll be easier to find the deer in the scope when it's farther away. Early in my hunting career I had several deer get away because my scope was turned up high from target practice, I forgot to turn it down when I got in the woods and couldn't find the deer in the scope! I've gotten in the habit of checking that the scope is turned down any time I take off the lens covers. [/QUOTE]
