Congrats man! Glad you got the hard one out of the way, now just go hunt.

I really look at you and a couple others as the Jedi masters of hillbilly hunting ... Thats the kind of hunting I'm doing so I', just soaking it all up. I really wanted you to enlighten me about the BDC
I don't want to pass quietly into the night. I want to slide in sideways kickin and screamin
Life really is awesome ... Soak it up while you can ...

Congrats rocket! You deserve that one for sure!!
I'll tell you what I think 2dogs means by that. Shooting a 30-06 in woods or anywhere inside 200 yards, there's no guess work really. Get you a scope with A (as in 1) crosshair, sight it in dead on or an inch high at 100yards. Put that crosshair on its shoulder and squeeze the trigger! Again, there's no guess work inside 200 if you sight in 1" high at 100. Congrats again man, and I hope you kill 1000 more! Correct. Rocket , in your story I picked up that it took a few seconds to sight on the correct "bubble" and on the second doe choosing the correct one. If you are only hunting timber , no need for anything to cause confusion and cost valuable seconds. When the buck of a lifetime walks by, you need to think as little as possible, just react. Sometimes the window of opportunity opens slowly, sometimes quickly, but almost always slams shut in the blink of an eye. A simple, heavy reticle that is quick on the target is all you need in the timber. IMO.

Excellent info. I've got a Tikka T3 Lite in 243 and I've been looking to get a good sight for it for a little entry level competition shooting ... I could put the Nikon 4-16x50 BDC on it and find another good scope for the 30-06 instead of my current setup
One thing I love about the Nikon though ... It was beginning to get dark and I noticed that through the scope was significantly brighter than without it. I'd probably want to get another 50 mm objective as my eyes are aging pretty fast now

Good deal. Congrats Rocket. I_Hate_Poachers you dropped the ball son. There's no blood on his face in any of those pics.  We're good, it's there just had bad lighting and the photos don't really show it  Thanks! I don't know if it really is tradition to do this or not but I didn't want to disrespect her so ... uh ... yes I tasted her blood and painted it on my face LOL. Not a bad taste
