Scope power

the power on a 3x9 with 36 to 40mm obj. will do just fine on shots out to 300 yards,after that it may be hard to define the actual size of the animal you are looking at and it may be difficult to judge how high to shoot on a real long shot.so to answere your question you should be fine.

Hunting Tip: Field Judging Bucks

As a Taxidermist I look at hundreds of Whitetail Bucks every year. I know that I have seen many different ways people judge the size of racks on live deer. I think for the most part they all are pretty close. I'm going to give you some measurements that I have noticed being right on in just about every deer. We have used it in the last couple years and have only been off by about 5-6 inches. We do study the deer while bowhunting so we get a little more time to look at them....
