The thread on hunting with traditional deer rifles got me to thinking. Does anyone else hunt with open sights? I don't have a scope on any of my hunting rigs any more. About 6 or 7 years ago I stripped the scopes off of all my hunting rigs to try and up the challenge of the hunt. I never felt the need to put them back on and have really enjoyed hunting with straight irons. To me, it has made it a bit more fun. I also feel it has improved my shooting skills. Taking squirrels with a .22 and irons is really a lot more fun and more challenging.
