The olympic mtn area, where Roosevelts elk (the big fella's)
live is not the pretty terrain most people think of when
they see elk on tv. as in the Rockies. its pretty dense.
lots of vegetation, (over 100 inches of rainfall per year-
why they call it a rain forest) I don't recommend the
30-30 at all. there are better cartridges. as in the 45/70
most of the area where I hunt... you CAN"T see 150
yards away.
