Question Which scopes come back?

If I get one of the jobs I am going to do telephone interview for (here is to hope!), I will either be in McAlester OKLAHOMA (Yeah!), or Texarkana TX(well……good enough), and Jon will pay all debts, then buy a rifle. And it probably will be plural after probation period (yeah….” Probably”).

But I have a cabin full of scopes that are excellent for Germany but not sure about Oklahoma. I will 100% bring my Leupolds and Bushnell 3200.

But I have a nice scope called Seeadler. It is a fixed 8x 56mm with a heavy German #1 post. Here it is my midnight, (literally), fox/hog scope. But I doubt it would do me much good in the good ‘ol USA.

Should I just bring my 3-9’s and leave the rest here for a possible return to Germany? I will be keeping my German hunting license active while I am gone.

Hey Jon, I'd bring em all back too. In a lot of states you can hunt varmints at night. And if you do return, scopes don't take up much room

Course, if you're hunting two legged fox, you don't need a scope for them Waidmannsheil, Dom.

Well Jon

i guess I'd try visitin ya but my probation occifer might not like me consortin with crinimals. Poachin is just the first step on the road to a crinimal lifestyle. I used to do a little poachin, ya know? I poached things like aigs. Really didn't like poached aigs tho. I like mine fried...wif bacon and toasted english muffins...an a cuppa arbuckle's on da side
