jim in Oregon -

That country isn�t necessarily as easy as you make it sound. You can see game a long ways off, but they can see you, too. We put the sneak on a herd of 80 or so elk one day a few years back. Spotted them about 11:30 in the morning. Dropped a nice 6x5 with my first shot � about 15 minutes after sundown at 350 yards. Took us that long to get close enough for a shot. I went the last 100 yards on my back, pushing myself headfirst through sage and cactus with my legs.

Other areas have lots of folds, tall sage, and deep cuts that provide plenty of cover.

I reckon its as much hunting as sitting in a stand and more so than sitting over bait. Digging game out of the creek areas where the sage is over head high with tunnels and game trails through it is every bit as tough as hunting dense pines higher up. Maybe tougher.

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.
