this might be a repost, but i have always wondered about what is the most common magnification that people shoot (and kill) most of their deer with (ie 3x, 4x, 5x). it would be much appreciated if you can also make a post about your region, the type area you hunt (brush, beanfield, prarie, hill country, mountain, swamp, etc.), the range that you take your successful shots at, the species of deer, the magnification range of your scope and any other info that might be a factor which will influence the magnification of your scope.

i personally im a brush hunter from easten manitoba. a HUGE majority of my harvests have been made with my muzzleloader at under 150 yards. i have a fixed 4 power scope on that rifle. i do make some "way out there" shots if i hunt western manitoba's grainfields, the most common mag. for those shots is 10x
