Good point. On every hunt I take a "back-up" firearm. This years Cow Elk hunt was going to be a pair of 30-06's. Now I'm thinking, let the CVA get first cracks and if there is an issue with it then its "next man up" time.

Its not mandated that we use non-leaded ammo up around Unit 7 close to the Grand Canyon. G&F does ask that hunters up in the area help them fend off the same group that sued California for the Condors. So I'll be running Barnes.

Thanks for the idea Brad.
