You can't hit what you can't see. A quality scope, mounted conventionally is the only option that helps you see your target in poor light. Which is exactly when you are most likely to get a shot when hunting. Set on low powers, 3X or less, you can easily shoot with both eyes open and get on target just as quickly as any other sight.
In good light any sight works. In good light I can easily hit deer size targets with any type of sight at ranges to at least 200 yards. Most folks think of a scope as only a long range sighting tool. But at 30 yards, 5 minutes before sunset in thick forest, with a 3" opening in the brush to thread a bullet through, a good scope beats them all.
