If you are talking about using a scope to scan for game such as sitting in a stand or still hunting through the woods, then I would say its a bad idea. If you are using the scope to take a closer look at a deer to see if it meets a point restriction rule, I don't see a problem. I don't see a scope as an "Identification" tool, but for more detailed inspection I have no problems with it. Every situation is different, the key is in knowing YOUR situation and applying a little common sense and caution to the mix.
