On my little 10 acre farm , deer run through my front and back yard routinely, ( I'm told KY has over 600,000 deer statewide, so I'm not suprised) and the woods just behind my house harbors a small herd. I find that I am concerned that come deer season, my scoped 6 inch GP100 may be impractical from a stand. I'm a good shot with my 2.25 inch SP101, but my 3,125 inch SP101 just fills my hand so nicely I'm seriously considering carrying it as a backup to the 6 inch should a freezer-filler pop up within 15 yards. Opinions please?
