[QUOTE="DreaminofMT6x6s, post: 1284431, member: 94485"] I live in Cheyenne, WY. We elk hunt from 1 Sept to 30 Nov/Jan when possible. If you're hunting anything remotely close to the timber, you need a tree branch or be prepared to shoot unsupported. My last elk was 250 yards off my knee during a late season cow hunt after bow season didn't pan out in '15. We could see for miles, located on BLM and had no issues getting within that range of small herds passing through. Last season we had twins...yeah it was a slow season. Shooting across canyons even for southern WY is not overly common but Area 7 (limited tag) is a different story. In the mountains you can get close enough to not need to carry any of that. Private down low is more open and it would be more common. I'm sure people would disagree that's fine. Come with me to 10000' this fall and let's see what shakes loose. Otherwise, shooting sticks are a little wobbly but very light and easy to pack. [/QUOTE]
