I will not observe a human through a rifle scope. I've had it done to me and I did not like it. In that instance, I found out later that the hunter scoping me was a trespasser. Wish I'd have know that at the time. I'd have called the landowner.
As for using the rifle scope to observe wildlife, I often use it at max power to check out antlers, if I can't get a good enough look with the binocs. And when hunting narrow lanes in thick cover, quite often if you take the time to have a look with the binocs, you'll not have time for a shot. Doing that (binocs first) cost me a shot at the biggest buck of my entire life. I had known that buck was in that end of the woods, and I'd been waiting for a shot at that monster for 2 years. And there he was...in my view through the binocs...and then he was gone before I could get the rifle up.
