Well, keeping them up ensures good saturation of the all-time best cover scent... cigarette smoke.

Hmm, I've often wondered if a 180 Noz would work on elk in a 06? Dober I can't say with any certainty +1... I think second hand stories to that effect are nothing but vicious rumors.....

wonder how the 100 grain TTSX would dig through an elk launched @ 3100 out of the 260?

Would work fine, no doubt.
I'd still be inclined to a 120-130 were I using something like a TTSX...
