I've used USGS maps, and a compass, and USFS maps, and BLM maps, and county maps, for 50+ years and I study them constantly looking for just the kind of items that 340mag mentioned. But I've never seen an elk on the map.

It can be tough finding elk in new areas but a number of times studying the maps and now Google earth has let me find elk the first time in.

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