I don't hunt any where that I am that close to another person with a gun. Besides if I can't see it with my eyes I probably can't hit it. The only thing I use optics for is to maybe count the points. There is no where that I hunt where you can see more than 150 yards. I don't have any trouble telling the difference between a deer and human at those ranges.

Maybe if I hunted out west it would be different. I have binocs in my deer blind but they are cheap wally world ones and I seldom use them. I usually use them to look at birds or tree rats. If I see a deer I use my scope because if it is acceptable I don't want to risk switching from the binoculars to the gun when they are that close.
