[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1737376, member: 94491"] I bring 2 rifles. In fact I just did this last week for 1st elk season. First 2 days my "long range" 10 pound rifle goes with me in hope's of getting a lr shot on an elk, after day 2 I then bring my "mid range" 30-06 that weighs in at under 7 pounds scoped with ammo--- why? After 2 days of hunting public land all the elk are hiding in the dense treed areas and long range shots are pretty much a pipe dream. Day 3- 6 I'm walking like crazy up and down steep terrain looking for areas with no other hunters. I trim down on any weight for these days, just bare minimums Now if I back country hunt and pack in all my gear to where there are no other hunters, this might be different. [/QUOTE]
