Default RE: Cabelas alaskan guide 6.5-20x44 too much for 30-06?

Dang! I don't know what to do. The last 3 animals I shot were 2 deer and 1 hog, all within 40 yards of my muzzle. 6.5 power is way too much for 40 yards. Gosh, the 4 power scope I shot with was even more than enough. 20 power seems like it COULD be beneficial, but I don't even think the 30-06 is an appropriate match for that powerful of a scope.

My family hasland in east texas. The terrain consists of thick brush with some open fields. By open fields, I don't mean canyons and miles of flat land. I mean about300 yards from onetree lineto another. I also hunt in south texas, but the brush is so thick down there, you could get away with a 2 power scope.

My question is, keep the scope or exchange/sell it?
