I hunted the coast range last year for elk..I was lucky enough to have a place to hunt on a damage tag off and on about 10 days over 3 months. Why is this important? Because I hunted in everything from hot sun to a winter storm that was blowing down trees and raining sideways. I learned that my past experience in Eastern Oregon is worthless. Under the trees, fog and rain at dawn and dark, light is hard to come by. I never saw a shooting lane over 100 yards and most were more 25 and 50 yards.
Here's the question. What is the best scope and power to use. I had a Nikon Monarch 4-16 on. I worked great for my dear in E. Oregon, but even on 4x it seemed marginal. What do you guys recommend for a 62 year old that has to wear glasses? I really can't afford a $1000 scope. Thanks
