[QUOTE="std7mag, post: 2885167, member: 125590"] As I've said, I hunt in the woods of PA. The woods of NY aren't any different. 1-2 power may give you more field of view. But if there are antler restrictions as here in PA, you'll want a little more power. I typically use 4-12 & 4-16 power variable scopes. At 35feet, (my closest deer) I had no issues with just seeing fur. Illuminated reticles are nice. But if it's too dark to see the reticle, it's too dark to count points on the antlers. Or make a good shot. What's on the other side of that deer? Did another one walk beside it? Another hunter you didn't notice? As for bullets my go to's have been the Nosler Ballistic Tip or Berger VLD. Never had to track with either of those bullets. [/QUOTE]
