depends upon the area may be, but if you stand on top of the ridge, shoot 700yds away at the opening on the opposite ridge, and there is a forest in a valley between - good luck.
i have never been to utah or colorado areas where people hunt, so, no idea how much vegetation is there in between and how close those elks may let you get to them during a hunting season. but i know what it is to walk 500 meters from a clearing through a dense forest with no visibility of the target area. you think you know where you go, but more often than not - it is not so.

hunting with an electronic gps map is an interesting idea, though, one more piece of gear to carry. or is it on an ipad?
do you also need to carry spare batteries of solar panels on you as well, to charge that shit?
