I never even thought of that... the White 1-24 should really be and advantage especially at the longer ranges...
Although that .52 caliber... I know its started an itch with you to shoot something. That 300 grain should do real well then. I never knew about elk mudding up like that. I knew they rolled in the mud but then never even considered the fact that they'd be mud covered.
In the areas that we hunt you can never really count on a bull being clean. Between the temperature and the rut they really can go nuts.
What is it about mud and animals? My old dog loved nothing more then to find some old stinky swamp mud and roll in it. He'd come back to the house just ripe. Thank goodness for a garden hose.
During the rut they seem to like to do anything that will make them stand out or be different than the next. Being 'stinky' seems to be one of their big goals.
