Don't hunt, but all of my rifle shooting is done exclusively with iron sights, of all types. I may take up hog hunting down the road. If I do, I'll be using either an AR with A2 style peep sights, or my Marlin 336 with it's Williams rear peep. I don't own any scopes, save for the one that came with my Gamo air rifle, which sits in a closet gathering dust. Not sure that I ever will use a scope, at least while my vision is good. I know too many guys that are completely scope dependent, and I don't want to go down that road. Kinda like the people that only shoot 1911 race guns; they can't shoot anything with more than a 3 lb trigger.
