Muley Hunter
I have had scopes fog up internally in the rotten weather, with the open sights remaining I could just remove the scope and continue hunting.
With the scopes I tend to use now days, It would surprise me a bunch if that were to happen, but way back when I as a kid it happen on rare occasions.
But, even now there are some folks still using tip-off mounts or even see through mounts just so the can still use the irons on occasion. I am not sure why but it happens.
