Congratulations! NIce goat. I've drawn once in Colorado but didn't fill the tag even though I saw many. Took 15 years the first time and slowly building points again.

Cool story! Congrats
How does anyone get scoped once? Let alone four times?

The same thing seems to happen whenever my son uses my 7RM. Now he only like to shoot the wife's .270.
I've done it myself. When shooting steep uphill angle is when getting scoped comes into play. When you would normally clear your sight picture with eye relief you will bring your face forward, when this happens the angle of the rifle brings the top of the scope very close to your face. When you zoom in your scope it's even worse. The way I avoid it is not to clear your sight picture in the scope, keeping the view of the target about the size of a pencile eraser or so. If that makes sense?
Most scopes have a rubber ring on them now so if the scope hits your face it doesn't make you look like you were just in a boxing ring. My buddy has dust caps on his scope and they have a plastic ring on it that will destroy your face if it hits you, as seen in the pics.

Shouldn't your face to scope angle be the same regardless of how you're shooting? Are you talking laying down and shooting uphill? Sorry to hijack the thread a little. Still a great story and picture
