I will go against the grain a bit here and recommend zeroing at the distance that you expect to shoot at for hunting purposes. If you are expecting 100 yd shot, then zero at 100... My logic is this: I want my point of aim to be my point of impact at distances i plan on shooting. This is especially helpful for head and neck shots where a couple of inches matters. I dont want to be hitting 2.5" high at 100 yds if i plan on most of my shots being 100 yds! With a 100 yd zero, if end up taking a longer shot, a couple inch holdover isnt too big of a deal (or necessary for a center of mass shot at a medium sized deer).
