Black hogs at Night (anything at night) or in planted pines (dense canopy makes it dark earlier) at dark 30
Yeah it helps It has to be dim though to not wash out your night vision Flashdot is perfect Edited by 308WIN - December/20/2014 at 08:12 |

I have gone back and forth on this and tried a LOT of optics out in the field hunting.
For deer, it is not a hard requirement in my opinion (at least not Texas whitetails) If I have good glass and a bolt reticle I could take a clean shot well past legal shooting time. |

The Trijicon is hard to beat if you want illumination without hassle. I have the 3-9 with green post on my AR and it is the perfect scope for my use. If I were looking at an illuminated scope with battery power it would be the Kahles KXi as the 4A reticle works well durring legal shooting hours should the battery fail. I have a non illuminated 3.5-10x50 Kahles with 4A on one of my rifles and it is excellent to and beyond the 30 Minute mark. If you are willing to forgo the illumination look at the 3-9x42 MeoPro with #4 reticle. Glass is plenty good for any legal shooting hours for deer and that is a heavy dark reticle that is highly visible in low light. While it may not say Swarovski on it, its a damn good scope that gives the Z3 a run for its money and has a better #4 reticle.

We measure it with a micrometer, mark it with a crayon, and cut it with a chainsaw.
