The issue with scope at short range is that people really need to see the whole deer. Often scope field of view isn't good enough.
The lowest power I have on any of my rifles or shotguns is x4. I agree with Nathan's quote above and I also feel that being able to see the bigger picture is part of the problem. Especially when dealing with heavy brush or a moving target. I have always been able to adjust for this by keeping both eyes open when using a scope in these situations. That allows me to still see the bigger picture and my dominant eye still see everything it should through the scope.
