My two main hunting scopes are currently a 4.5-29 and a 6-36.
The higher magnification comes in extremely handy when trying to identify which buck it is at 385 yards standing in a cutover with the sun casting a glare on everything.
We are selective on which bucks to shoot (or more importantly not shoot) and sometimes the only difference between a shooter and a non-shooter is a slight difference in brow tines.
Had a great 3yr at 250 yards this year that I could not positively identify at noon in a cutover on less than 20x due to the glaring off everything.
Now I’d have zero problems “killing” deer out to 400 yards with a 10x scope, it just might not be the correct deer.
You're only as good as your worst shot-
