    Thanks to everyone for your replies. I guess it was a bad idea to pose this question so, I'll ask that his post be closed to future comments.

    Scope selection for poor vision

    Thanks for the info. I'll look in to those you mentioned. I guess my question is whether going to a scope like 6.5-20 vs 3-9 would help or is it a matter of glass clarity?

    Scope selection for poor vision

    Thanks Dosh, I have looked in to obtaining eye glasses but, Medicare & Medicaid won't pay for them so, the whole process of an Optometrist & the cost of eye glasses will cost about the same. I use drug store cheater glasses for reading but, looking through Binoculars & a rifle scope are a...

    Scope selection for poor vision

    I currently have a vortex 3-9x40 on my Weatherby vanguard .270 and this week I went out to the range to get ready for hunting season. I noticed my vision has changed and just to view the 100 yard target, I had to increase the magnification to 9 to get a clear view of the target. I've just begun...

    Well I guess I can't expect anything better than to be ridiculed and ostracized by people with NO sense of humor. My BAD. I guess I'll just tuck my tail and leave all you. Really sad though that you can't even take a joke and be done with it.

    Hey, where's the fun in saying "hey look at this picture i was e-mailed" ? Geez, people have very little humor ! I would have thought the size of the road vs animal would have given it away. If you think I made a mistake and lost all credibility just because I posted that picture with an...

    Backpack or game cart ?

    I appreciate your concern. I may not have anyone to go with me at times. Believe me, I am used to being alone and having to deal with my medical condition vs having to do what is neccessary.

    Backpack or game cart ?

    I talked with one of my friends last night (professional guide, multi-generational Montana) and he told me not to worry about getting either one. He said where he is taking me, all I need do is call him and they will drive a vehicle and retrieve the animal. I guess I should have waited to talk...

    Took a ride and ran in to this !

    I went scouting locations for hunting season the other day. Took a road i normally don't travel and when i turned the corner, this guy popped out. I seriously don't think I could have fit him in my truck bed.
