I shoot see thru mounts. Snow,water, fogging can render a scope useless. so can aiming into the sun. I also use my iron sights for close shots and especially on running shots.
I believe I never would have got this buck with my scope. I tracked him and jumped him and had to make a very quick running shot. Everyone is different. I will always have see thru mounts on my guns.
What's your rig constist of? And where do you hunt?
I shoot a 7600 pump "06" and I hunt northern Wis and Minn.
for the close running shots I would compare my shooting to shooting a shot gun. I point and fire. This might seem strange but if you practice long enough the gun should come up and be right on. I practice a lot without even firing the gun. I just pick a target and draw on it quickly.
If the deer is moving I suck with a scope but I guess thatsjust me.
