For those of you who elk hunt and actually still do some walking; what is your go to setup? I'd like to know the make, model, caliber and optic you rely on and please tell me how many miles you cover a day on average.
My elk hunts are typically backpack hunts... going into a wilderness area with enough to stay out for a number of days. Think steep country. Weight is important.
Anymore my elk hunting rig will be a Kimber Montana 84M/L chambered in either 7-08, 308 or 270, though I wouldn't hesitate to use a 260.
This year will be with my 308.
Mileage varies day to day.
