Looking for a cheep laser range finder.

I am going hunting with the in-laws on some kind of special late season hunt down in Sothern Idaho.

Where I hunt it is typically forest and brush so long range shots are rare. But where I am going shots out to 250-300 yards are pretty normal. I have decided I need a range finder that can tell you the range on a deer out to at least 300 yards.

I have a cheep range finder that does well on cars and other reflective surfaces but it struggles with animals and will typically only give a reading out to may be 150-200 yards. Many range finders advertise 1000-1500 yards but don’t do that well on deer.

I am not looking to buy top of the line or to spend a lot of money, I just want something that will work on deer out to 300 yards. Any advice? Cheaper is better because it will not be a tool I will use much.

all 26 of my guns are 45/70 govt, 357 mag, 22 or 12 ga... I believe in keeping it simple. Wish my wife did as well...
