Maybe this is a stupid question but I want to ask it anyway.
Does anyone hunt with iron sights anymore?
If you do hunt with iron sights could you tell me what rifle you are using and any other details of your hunting style you'd like to share.
I hunt like 5 different places. One I use a scope always. Its in the swamps and 100-200 yard shots are not uncommon. But its slug/muzzleloader only. So I generally wait until they are 100 yards in range. Behind my house, all shots are under 40 yards, I use an open sighted gun usually, with the exception of my pistol.
I like to keep my 270 7400 and my 45-70 lever, and percussion rifle unscoped just for my under 50 yards spots. All the others have 2X variables on. Some of my 300win's and STW's carry 3.5-10 for long range.
