[QUOTE="cmorsch, post: 865905, member: 59422"] Well as far as the hunt went, It kicked my butt all over the place, being out of shape and the difference in elevation tore me up every day. Shooting sticks are a life saver, as well as good clothing, it was cold and windy in the mornings and evenings, but warmed up in the afternoon. The elk really only seemed to be moving right after sunrise and just before sunset. The biggest thing I took away from it was carry as light a rifle as possible. Mine weighs in at just over 14 lbs., and once I added in all my other equipment in my eberlestock j107 I was packing over 40 lbs. of gear up and down mountains all day. I know that I'm also going to use the 30-06 as a back up from now on, and will build a mag of some sort since I think its odd my rounds never exited the bull, it could of made tracking blood a pain if I had needed to do so.
