    Best Backcountry Bino Mount

    I had a center mount on my old pair of Vortex binoculars, but switched to Aziak clamp when I upgraded to a new pair of Swaros. The clamp is lightweight, easy to pack, and durable. I would definitely recommend.

    Should I replace my rifle scope?

    I often think that getting a new scope is something I should be taking seriously. At those times, I ask myself if a new scope would help me achieve my goal of killing game at 300 yards or less. The answer is always no. If you plan on long distance target shooting it makes sense to upgrade...

    Shooting is a perishable skill-

    I think how you practice shooting is super important and something I overlook/avoid. I see people talk all the time about shooting from random positions, after exercise, etc. and these are all great suggestions, but I seem to always find an excuse to shoot prone or from a bench. I live in NW...

    High AST & ALT Liver Numbers

    I’m an emergency medicine doctor and don’t want to provide comprehensive diagnosis (nor am I able to), but if I did labs on you and they came back at those levels I wouldn’t be too concerned. It could be fatty liver if you are overweight, slight dehydration when labs drawn, or a variety of...

    First LR hunting rifle

    I carry a Marlin X7 and have been impressed at its reliability and accuracy. It is quite affordable as well. Consider mid range Leupold or Vortex for glass to keep price reasonable with good quality performance. It’s not flashy or expensive, but it serves my purpose. I like .308, but every...

    Mule Deer and Water (E-Scouting)

    Thanks so much for the responses. Just to clarify, I did not mean hunting over water or even employing an ambush style associated with water. I glass and spot and stalk predominately. I’m just trying to go through the process of determining where deer are less likely to be vs more likely so I...

    Backpack Training

    I do at least a weekly ruck of 6 miles but sometimes more. A big focus of my training is running long distance (13+ mile runs) and would probably ruck more if that wasn’t important to me. My go to weight is a 50 lbs bag of play sand with a garbage bag around it. It tried bricks in a sleeping...

    Weight training programs

    I started doing MTNTough in early December and have had super impressive results so far. Everyday is leg day in the program, but in a way that is functional and it isn’t overwhelming. Just a disclaimer though, I have a pretty decent home gym. They do have various programs, however, if you...

    Mule Deer and Water (E-Scouting)

    This is my first post and just want to thank everyone in advance. I have learned a lot from Rokslide and am a relatively new hunter out west with lots of Midwest whitetail experience. My search on here didn’t really give direct answers to my questions. If there is a thread with answers please...
