    When to quit?

    First off, deer hunting is not natural to everyone. But in my experience there are two types of deer killers: 1. the "naturals". These guys kill deer left and right. You ask them what they're doing and they make vague gestures and shrug, then say something stupid like " I just avoid pressure"...

    Feedback on Whitetail Shot

    Dude, congrats on finding the buck. You really put in the work. And thanks for taking your lumps on here with the whole story. I've seen some really good looking arrows turn into lost animals before, and sometimes a bad shot you wind up getting lucky.

    Feedback on Whitetail Shot

    What makes you think the extra half inch of cut (and three cutting planes instead of one) wouldn't make a difference on marginal shots? It only takes one good artery nick to change the situation. Sharp blades and well tuned bow with a little arrow weight is way more important for penetration if...

    Feedback on Whitetail Shot

    I hope you went in and stuck another one in him. No need to tell us if you did that... sometimes the letter and spirit of the law aren't quite aligned. All that said... I do not understand why folks insist on shooting narrow two blades at whitetail deer with modern compound bows pulling a...

    Care for blued/wood stocked rifles on tough hunts?

    Yes. It's a very early model 70 in 30-06AI.

    Care for blued/wood stocked rifles on tough hunts?

    I just hunt with mine... clean/oil it before a trip, tape the barrel, don't put it in a case if it's wet, and don't forget to clean it after. Might wipe it down in the evening if it really got banged around.

    Which side arm makes most sence

    I'm a revolver guy, personally. I just like shooting them. Everyone talks about the Glock 20 being sooo much lighter than a .44 mag, but you can get a S&W 629 .44 with a 3" barrel and when both are fully loaded the revolver weighs an extra 2-3 oz. Besides that, you don't *need* to shoot the...

    Hunting mature thick timber Muleys in Eastern WA, Northern ID, and NW Montana

    Man, I'd just keep your system to yourself. Those are some slammer bucks!

    Wensel books?

    I had to buy one on kindle to get hold of any.

    Bighorn Sheep unlimited areas Montana

    @fngTony Is this something that falls under the unit rules these days? I agree with @Geewhiz.

    Idaho Muzzleloader Deer Recap

    Nice buck! As to your initial posts... If you read the rules, Rokslide does not allow any unit specific posts. This is to prevent spot burning, which tends to result in declining units due to overpressure.

    Glue in 4mm (.166) broadheads (Evolution, Iron WIll, Thrive, Thorn)

    @roosiebull, the Kimsha hot melt is fantastic stuff. It's even held up well for me in the Texas heat.

    Why are bullets frequently found just under the hide on the opposite side?

    Careful, the arrow may snap before it punctures.

    40th Birthday Gift for my hunter!

    I can testify firsthand to the frustration when my family buys me the wrong outdoor gear. However... if you get him the right gift without asking him, he will LOVE it. The trick is to figure out what he actually wants that he isn't quite willing to spend the money on. First think I'd check is...

    Yet another grizzly attack in Montana

    In fairness, I've heard the same my whole life. Growing up in MT that was the generally accepted *fact* of the matter.

    Yet another grizzly attack in Montana

    Yeah... a quick search of the interwebs and there's plenty of documented adult griz up trees.

    Yet another grizzly attack in Montana

    You willing to bet on that?! I sure wouldn't

    Why are bullets frequently found just under the hide on the opposite side?

    It stretches... Never have recovered a Barnes TTSX like that though.

    Your Top FIXED blade BH

    I think you're barking up the wrong tree thinking the broadhead is to blame. Shit just happens. I've put a (sharp) 4 blade Magnus stinger into a deer's vital V and had zero blood for the 60-70 yards it took him to die on a dead run. Shot a bull elk with a 2" wide Simmons Land Shark and...
