And the coyote is behind you too, you crazy Wy-Dam-O-Ming rascal!
Do you use a sun shade on your scope or not?

No, never have. There have probably been a few occasions where it would have helped but it wasn't with me to find out.
Interesting to see people mention having them on their target rifle but not their hunting rifle. For me I can see it used in the field because hunting is usually done when the sun is low in the sky. When I shoot matches 9 out of 10 people do not use sunshades. No, I haven't counted but that seems reasonable from what I've saw.
Very few ranges are set up with the morning sun in your face, if it is they were very limited on options or it was not very thought out. I've personally never shot a match where the sun was an issue.
For the record, the sun sets in the west. The wind in hunting season comes from the north west. If you pay enough attention to the wind you will be looking close to the sun every evening.

No. I have used in the past a piece of cardboard like a visor over the objective lens like @Bravo 4 mentioned. I want all the light transmission I can get.
We had them issued to us for our Unerts in the Corps but rarely used them. If reflection off the objective lens was something we were concerned about someone seeing we'd use a visor, cat eye it with duct tape etc. haven't found a use for one shooting critters or paper / steel.

I have them for a couple of target scopes I have, a few even came on some used scopes I purchased. I have not used them while hunting.

If you live in AZ, or comparable states, you will use them.
