I scouted the southmost hunter camp area again yesterday morning for 2 hours. Then I moved to the Pennington area and set up camp. I saw 9 doe yesterday and today but no bucks. I followed tracks of 3 large print sets in two different places . Saw no actual bucks nor any sign of hog anywhere. I covered about 2 miles total walking on the sides of my feet while dodging dry, downed tree limbs and carrying my scoped Saiga .308. The new lodgepole pine nearly blocked every clearing and mat vines tripped me for the first few hours. I found and followed a new fire break where the tracks were almost the size of the palm of my hands. After today I think a .30-30 Win or Marlin is on the books as soon as I get back to work. I have heard that one of the .30-30's ejects out the side and can be scoped. The other which ejects out the top has a problem in that in rough terrain or when forced to cycle a round while upside down the bullets want to drop out. Can anyone confirm which it is?
