I see this thread was started some time ago. Something I didn't see mentioned. With the "red dot" type sights verus a scope or iron sights - the red dot easily allows you to shoot with both eyes open. Most people would tend to shoot iron sights/scopes with one eye, thus miss the chance to see the animal (fall or run off). Also- it is MUCH faster to "get on target" with the red dot type. At low light conditions as long as you can see the outline of the animal it's toast. The magnification of any scope severely limits you at close distances. I've hunted deer with a handgun since 1986 and killed deer from 30 feet to 316 feet (measured distance), all with red dot type sights. Currently use a Bushnell Holosight on my 44 Colt Anaconda. The Busnell was $300 but well worth it compared to the "tube" style red dots I've had in the past. Both my sons use red dot sights (tube) on their 12Ga slug guns with no problems. Here's last years deer from 35 yards:
