[QUOTE="Deleted member 107796, post: 1863384"] In my opinion, 9lb is too heavy for a high elevation elk hunt where you are going to hike more than a few miles... something the atv guys rarely do. There are some hilarious responses here! We got Mr. Backus saying how he likes to shave off ounces from his gear for the hike-in type of hunts (I don't mean to single him out!) and then we have the guys that think every shot is 800-1000 yards and need a 15lb rifle, and therefore even if you have learned to shoot a light magnum well due to the new materials/designs in recoil pads, you are a 9 year old girl. Great laughs. [/QUOTE]
