Depending on where he hunts I would zero it @ 200 for western hunts and maybe less for eastern or southern hunts.

The extra power comes in handy at the range when sighting in and practicing. Just remember to leave it on 4.5 while out in the field. If he mostly hunts densely forested areas then the 4.5 might be a little to much.

As far as range goes, that is up to him. Just remember that the field is way different than the range.
