Here is my hunting buddy glassing for deer last year. Already had both my cow elk tags filled and was looking for a bull.

Here�s a raghorn 6x6 I took out of a herd of 80 or so a few years back. Nothing but sage for miles in every direction.

My first cow from last year, from a herd of around 25. There were trees a mile away at the creek below and in the hills a couple hundred yards behind where we were sitting in the sage (I�m actually facing the hills in the picture).

Took my second cow last year off this hill, herd size around 30. Sparse, short grass everywhere, watched the elk for over a mile as they approached.

Took my deer last year just a short while after this picture was taken. Have taken elk out of this area in the past.

This kind of country is more to my liking, though. That�s Dave on the left, me on the right. My cow is down 260 yards farther back on the hill and out of the picture to the left.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
