semiautos & capacity for WY/MT?

[Mr. 16 gauge]

Wish you luck on the lopes ..Where are you going to be hunting??

Northeast corner of the state; Area #2 (Crook County).

Where are you staying in Mt??

Alzada

What kind of AR are you taking?

Bushmaster.....not sure of the model, but it's a full stock, post ban.

What caliber for lopes?

Just a plain, old, garden variety .30-06 (Interarms Mark X Viscount) with a 150 grain handload. My friend is all excited...it's his first trip out west. He bought a new .300 Win. magnum and is also taking his .243 as well.

Remember the wind...even for lopes..It blows an awful lot up that way. If you can get some shooting in on a windy day..it will make you a believer in wind drift..

Learned about wind drift while duck hunting....lead a mallard by 3 feet in front on a 45 yard shot and watched the pattern hit 3 feet BEHIND the duck! That was a real eye opener. Been pouring over the wind drift charts in my manual (Sierra) as well as bullet drop; chronyed the load a few weeks ago, so I think I should be good to go............
