I just thought of another reason I should stay with a scope. Colorado is no scopes in the muzzleloader season. My Opthomologist filled out a form for me and got me a disability license that lets me use a scope.
If I get stopped by a warden during the hunt and he sees me using open sights with a vision disability license. How do I explain that away? I'm supposed to use a scope and I should stay with that. Plus, if I thought I could still use open sights i'd be using them.
Cripes! Hunting used to be so simple.
