[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 2965780, member: 54178"] Here in the "wild west" most of the land is BLM territory and e-bikes are OK everywhere except Federal Wilderness Areas. There its hoofing it, either your own "hoofs" or horses, goats or llamas, but NO e-bikes ore even pedaled mountain bikes! [B]UPDATE: [/B]I hunted amntelope this year in north central Nevada's Lander County (horns shorter than ears). I confess that, embarrassingly, I missed FOUR times using laser rangefinder binoculars, 4.5 - 18 x 44 G3 Xmas trow reticle scope and 6.5 PRC Browning X-Bolt Pro rifle!! I had my hold-over dope inside the objective lens cap. 780 yards, 320 yards, 460 yards and 630 yards!!! All shots were prone off my day pack. Aaaaarrrggghhh! I took the rifle to the range when I got back home and it was right on at 200 yards, my original zero. The problem was the wrong dope, 6.5 CM instead of 6.5 PRC.
