I'd skip the Bushnell unless you are in to there high end line

That Nightforce posted above on Chromeslayers custom is a great scope Kahles 624i is outstanding for the proper applications but you are going to be set back $2500-$3000 My new favorite "standard" scope is a Nightforce SHV https://www.amazon.com/NightForce-3-10x42mm-250-Illuminated-Forceplex/dp/B07HPCB368/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1544275853&sr=8-4&keywords=nightforce+shv+3-10x42mm

yep scope is more important than the rifle/sluggun

I've been using a Leupold VX 2 2x7 for years on mine as well as my Sluggun I learned years ago after going through 3 or 4 cheap scopes on my 12 ga that pay once cry once is the way to go Leupold in my opinion isn't what it used to be as far as their adjustments but once you get them zeroed they tend to stay put Customer service is the best too if you should have a problem you'll likely get a brand new scope sent out

Congrats!

Konus is crap you are on borrowed time the Nikon prostaff isn't a great scope either You can find out the hard way with optic/scopes they work until they don't and it usually is at a most opportune time A shot gun will put a serious hurt on the internals of a scope

Sorry Rob what kind of scope is on your shotgun?

TC Omega 2x7 Leupold Buy a scope separate the combo's have junk scopes Chromeslayer outstanding build and optics! Some Omega kills

Good luck Patiently waiting for Monday

Sorry Matt had it happen to me 2 years in a row At least you know and aren't hunting a ghost

Checked my cameras yesterday things have slowed way down and still no of Big guy Got a picture of buck I killed from earlier that day Picture of what I think is the drop tine 6 pt from other property as well as coyote

Congrats Tommy!

Everyone needs to stop whining about it You can only control what YOU do If the next guy shoots one I pass it is what it is To him or her it may be the best buck they have ever killed and a trophy in their eyes No sense worrying about things out of your control Some will die some will live

It was probably injured or stressed to lose it's antlers this early

Of Course it won a Blue Ribbon! Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Story of day 34 and the 11pt It was very still,quiet and calm not really any wind at all.I wasn't sure I was even going to see a deer with it being so still. At a little after 4pm I saw 4 doe skirting through the hardwoods. Then a couple minutes later had a spike come into the field and mill around and then walk into the hardwoods and cut 70 yds in front of me. Pretty standard sit so far. 3 doe cut out of the pines and behind me all the deer thus far were traveling towards the front of property. Next 2 buck enter the field a small spike( I call micro spike because he doesn't even have 3" spikes) and a 4 pt,these are all buck I've seen over and over again so was pretty ho hum till this point...then things got spicy. Micro spike and 4 pt all of a sudden bolt my direction in the field and stop before the pines along the edge,they are just looking into the pines and finally walk into them.I then hear a grunt and think that doesn't sound like it came from the 4 pt? Next 3 doe fly down the ridge line behind me about 120 yds, I think "did someone on the adjacent property bump them?", but as I'm thinking that they dart back were the came from running all over the place so I know a buck is messing with them. I'm now standing up in my stand looking back and scanning with my binoculars and I see a doe 75 yds from my stand motionless staring down through the hardwoods back out in front of me. I'm watching her and trying to look back to where she is staring to see what has her attention? I see nothing as I scan,then I look back towards the field and I see a group of deer along the edge of the pines 5 of them! I turn and sit in my stand and see they are all buck,two small buck are sparing mico and 4 pt are standing watching and there is one buck hanging back just into the pines. I pull up my binoculars and could see he had some stuff going on rack wise and was a good buck,at this point I wasn't sure if it was the big guy I've been after or not but decided first opportunity at a shot I'd take it as I've rode this rodeo before thinking I'll wait till he comes all the way out only to have him lock up and turn around walking away,especially since that's where the doe were all running around. The rest is history he stepped forward one step and gave me a clear shot to his front shoulder at 90 yds and he went on a 60 yd death run and dropped behind some brush. Until I walked up on him I wasn't sure what he was or if he was my nemesis,unfortunately not but again I wouldn't have passed him regardless. 1 week off then the quest will continue with the muzzle loader. As a side note I've never seen this buck or have a single picture of him so you really just never know what will happen or who will show up Thanks to everyone and best of luck to all .....your season can change on a dime so stick with it!

I'll post story tomorrow time for dinner and bourbon at Flight West It was crazy the last 1/2 hour

Day 34 in a row Day 14 gun season Saw too many deer yesterday afternoon to not hunt this property with my nemesis Hopefully everyone got the sand out of their vaj jays and can enjoy hunting rather than playing host of The View Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
