    I shoot accubonds with the 7mm-08, I'm going to get my 30-06 setup and bring that with me with 180 grain TTSX bullets. That should do the trick.

          Accubonds will do the job!

            I've been impressed with them. I tried 6+ different factory ammo. My gun liked the accubonds and the Federal Premium with Nosler Partitions.

                That's what I shoot out of my .270 and it did a great job on the nilgai last year.

                    Im going to scout next weekend...

                    The scouting period for all refuge hunts is the weekends of November 5 – 6, and November 12 – 13, 2016.

                      Good luck scouting. I'm curious what all you run across.

                        You better prepare for chiggers! The hard part about ridding a bike is the salt grass. It's a killer on the legs.
                        Fix-a-flat or slim will help as well

                          I think they let you scout the day before your hunt starts also

                            Does anybody know when the rut runs down there?

                              I would be curios if this was the case. From what it says we can't even enter the place until after the 8am orientation the day our hunt begins.
