Well, we tried to burn everything around us last year and this year, and we took a break from this year hunting as well. I think we may try 55 next year, as I at least know one area back in the wilderness that produce elk. I have 350gr flatpoint hornadys and 405gr hard cast loads, to which I'm not sure which I'll take. I have peeps on the 22" 1895, and open sights on the 1895 guide gun. I have a 260gr partition load for the 375 with 2-7x glass on it, so it can work close up or out a couple hundred yards. With those kind of woods, long range simply won't happen as we all know. Now some areas I've hunted, its either crawl thru blackberry bushes, or stand over hay fields. I'll stick with standing, and let the guys with the wittle guns crawl thru the nasty stuff.
