460 definitely does, I did some radio collar tracking of the cows for volunteer work, but I don't have any clue about the bulls habits and if they coincide with public land, etc. never really looked into it.

Post by: coachcw on September 28, 2010, 06:26:04 AM: Sorry couldn't resist. I'd stick to 460 for elk few and far between I wouldn't get to far in .theres a few real good bulls there if the cars don't get them first.
