I typically only hunt Hogs and with handguns. I have one scoped and one with Irons. Terrain dictates what I use.

Truck guns or Night hunts for hogs are scoped rifles.

I said scope but a lot depends on
when we are hunting... night or day
where are we hunting... tight quarters or open spaces

I have guns with both open sights and scopes, MOST of the time I'm using a scope.

IMO, iron sights were much more common decades ago when the only shot you might get was one in which the deer was walking or even running. In those days, it wasn't uncommon to find a guy who could quickly hit a deer after it hit the ground just once while crossing an old logging road or trail. I am still not such a guy.

Heck, nowadays there seems to be no shortage of those who can't hit one standing still while they're sitting comfortabe in an old office chair.

Call me an Ole Timer if you wish, but feeders and food plots have taken a severe toll on the average hunter's shooting skills.

Scopes on most guns, My eyessight is not what used to be, On a the sharps, M1A and 30carbine peep sights, and 22s some open sone scoped.

Is it just me or are most open sights on new guns these days crap compared to the older brass beed front sights?

Perhaps "yes", because most manufacturers expect the owner to never use them.

Gotta love that 30 carbine, ours has killed lots of deer.

Both on my 30-30 raised scope rings allows for either one.

Depends on the range. I hunt with my black powder 50 cal open sights. AR15,30.06 and 270 scoped.

Scopes for me. Can't argue with the long range benefits.

Scope for me. Having a scope comes in handy more often than the annoyance of having a scope.

Sharps 45-110 with tang rear sight and front blade made from a copper penny.

Scopes for me too

Wow I didnt expect the poll to look like that very interesting.

You should go open sights killer. That way you can get a follow up shot easier...cause we know you're gonna miss!

LMAO that hunt I did with Kyle and Wade was pathetic!

i use the computor sights from my office

Depends on the area of the lease I hunt. Highlines and pipelines with shots out to 300yrds I use a scope, for the thick brush stands or still hunting I use iron sights.

Scope...Used to carry a 30-30 for back up in the high country, but I haven't been in a while.

Depends on how far away I am. And how good a persons eyes are! Me, I'm good at 150 open, but after that I prefer a scope!

Well I took Cable out for a hog hunt, he had the M1 with open sights and I had the .270 scoped. We came across two groups of ten plus hogs and we could not connect im still pissed

how many shots were fired?

7 rounds on the first group at about a hundred yards, second group popped out around the same distance I had one round left and couldnt connect I dont know whats going on. I was out with the thermal last night and spotted over 30 hogs fired once and no kill im gonna have a hard time sleeping tonight!

Not enough aiming oil, seen it right off!

I wouldn't sleep tonight...I'de go slaughter some hogs!

I have both...I have 22's that are iron sight and a couple with scopes.
My Tikka 243 has a scope, the 8mm Mauser does not.
My new Spike's AR don't so far, but it is a utility gun, non-precision.
Later it may get a low powered scope as I would use it like a truck/saddle gun,
fast handling and K.I.S.S.
