While sheep hunting, you are in truly rough country and I had no trouble getting distances from objects and structures that I normally would not be able to get them from. The Leupold RX-2800 proved itself a valuable and effective tool for hunting.

Night Hunting Hogs With a Suppressed Muzzleloader? Hell, Yes!
A couple of months earlier, Jones and I were on the phone talking about two of our favorite things–hunting and shooting.

This is the earliest rifle deer season in the Lower 48!
The Most Versatile Gun in the World
But, why I really love shotguns is because they are so versatile. Seriously, if you can find me any other gun that you can shoot a quail with at 15 yards and also shoot a whitetail with at 150, I will be very impressed. Not to mention all the different gauges, styles and brands.
