Default Time to warm up the .58

Going to start shooting my .58 in earnest out to about 100-125 yards. I just found out, from Jake and then, from the PGC that I was drawn for an anterless elk tag for the regular season for zone 3. I already placed calls with a couple local game wardens to help me out finding landowners with crop damage or areas of high sighting numbers.Also going to be spending time scouting between archery hunts for deer.
I really want to take one with the .58 but I will be also carrying my 30-06 as a back up in case I can't get close enough. I've been applying since the onset of the draw and finally got a tag. I don't want to waste it. I love the taste of elk.

It was exciting seeing your name pop up on that screen Clem.

A muzzleloader will make for a fun challenge!
