Scope reflection spooking a bird

[MK M GOBL]

Just make sure the sun is not on you, over 20 years of killing turkeys with a scoped gun and never spooked one yet. When I see this they're dead!

I have. That's why I use a cover.

Has anyone had any experience with light reflecting off a scope and spooking a bird?

Or was this just a marketing stunt for Nikon to sell their scopes?

If this is more than just a sales pitch and someone has experienced spooking a bird, I may consider an Anti-Reflective Device for my Leupold going on my turkey gun.

Thanks!

Sounds like somebody regrets a missed opportunity......

Nope, 30+ years most of which was sitting up against  a tree where when they can see me.....yup BOOM too late

Never , most of the time if he can see my gun or scope reflection he's DEAD ...

This, also, why are people setting up in the sun? Shade is your friend, if I can't set up in the shade I will move on and try another day or a different bird. It ain't worth it to me to spook a bird and educate him by setting up like a glowing beacon in the sun. Be cognizant of where the sun is and will be always, when setting up on a Gobbler...
