Until one day I did the same when really tired and exhausted while out for a rabbit.

Only I’d closed my bolt on seeing a rabbit then heard a chainsaw going about 400 yards away so had a look through the scope - then realized my colossal blunder.

NEVER EVER EVER again!

Monkey see - monkey do has its dangers

Similar combination of mostly thick bush and the odd longer sight path, clearing.
Young days, didn’t even own a set of Binos ,the hugh cheap 4X fixed power scope did it all. These days Binos are take precedence,and are the most expensive part of my kit.
Brilliant rule newbie’s on glass only and only one rifle.
