Red dot sights

I don't want to depend on batteries while hunting in anything other than a flashlight. No red dots, no GPS. With either you are SOL if the batteries go dead. When I hunted big woods I carried spare batteries and bulb for my flashlight. I don't use a flashlight for difficult blood trailing after dark near home either.
While you can swap batteries in a flashlight of they go dead, that's not an option with a red dot when a buck appears and you find your battery is dead.

That’s exactly why I use these, they’re a fiber optic. ba8b6a69a3dac243025a6706a552cf7b.png

While what you described can happen if your not careful I find it to be unlikely. I have been using a battery operated red dot for 16-18 years now and have only changed the battery out 3 times. 

When in the stand I don't leave it on its only on all the time during either a drive or while still hunting.  It's so easy to turn it on it becomes all one motion as your shouldering the gun for a shot. I have noticed that when the battery starts to get weak you can tell by the brightness of the dot which at that time you still have a lot of life left before its truly dead which gives you time to change it out while not hunting.
