Alabama has the best/longest deer season in the US that I am aware of. Used to be the most laid-back as well, though political correctness is creeping in little by little.

When using it as a compensator, I turn it to full power. The reticle works as intended for most standard calibers. On 4 power, the reticle will be WAY off, as the reticle-to-target ratio is way...

At 250, you'll probably be an inch or two low, but not enough to worry about. From 250 to 300, I'd say you might hold about 2/3 up on the deer's body. As I said, you just have to play around with it...
