Western hunting seems soooo much different than what we do in the Northeast
Rob, I grew up hunting whitetails too, and now that I live in elk country it seems the biggest difference is the effect of hunting pressure. When other hunters are around, whitetails will go nocturnal in the thick stuff. But with elk, seems like hunting pressure tends to move them around more. Sometimes I like to hunt where I'm hearing shots around me.
The last three elk I've killed have been under 75 yards, so I'm thinking about trying with a revolver soon. Not as a stunt, it's just lugging a rifle and pack up and down over hilly country all day seems to get less fun every year.
