    Please Help: Christmas Ideas for Husband

    How about you give him a hunting trip...with you. Something you can do together. His favorite hobby with his favorite wife (I am assuming you are his favorite wife!). It could be short and close to home or a longer one. Let your imagination go.

    Getting Youth involved in the Outdoors

    Well I am now 40 posts in on this Rokslide adventure, so I am hoping at least some of you accept that I am not a complete knucklehead and read about what I have been doing for kids. About 6 1/2 year ago, I decided we needed to do something for the youth in our area to get them more involved in...

    How to get banned from Rokslide

    Fairly new to this forum but pretty experienced in three others. The worst one I dropped it got so bad, and ironically, it is the biggest one. But the other two are run well just like Rokslide. Wonder what that says about society?

    USPS Woes

    I have a package that I am tracking. It said it would be delivered by 9:00 pm on Monday, 11/30. Monday came and went and there was no package. I checked again Tuesday. The "Expected Delivery on: date" part of the tracking page was completely missing. Then on Wednesday it was back up: Dec 3...

    ...

    Look for: Hey, new here, I am a looking for some spots (not honey holes), but where I will see elk the every day, close to the truck, flat country, with no hunting pressure. I just want to get away from it all and any elk is a bonus. Not looking for trophies, just 380" bulls or bigger. Not...

    1100 dollar western rifle

    One note on the Tikka, it does not have a bolt release lever or 3 position safety. Thus you must have the safety on the fire position to unload the gun. I, personally, do not like that and it throws out Tikkas for me. For others, it doesn't bother them in the slightest bit and they love the...

    A Hunting Adventure

    Nice start! You seem to be a guy who likes to plan and figure things out. To me, that is in direct conflict with hiring a guide. You can plan for the lunch hour and go hunt with a guide tomorrow. Think about DIY. You have already joined this forum where there is more than a little expertise...

    Schnees Beartooth 2 or Timberline?

    Been a long time user of Beartooths. Convinced my dad and 2 hunting buddies to get them too and we absolutely love them. I have one uninsulated pair and 1 pair with 200g of insulation if I remember correctly. I use them for elk, mule deer, antelope, whitetail and pheasant hunting. I never...

    poor choice of hunting outfitter

    I hunted this area in 2016 DIY, public land and it took us a couple of days to get on elk, but we were in elk pretty consistently. We ran across some guides who didn't impress me at all. I have no idea what outfitter they were from, but walking 200 yards down a trail and watching an opening...

    Wildlife Artists

    Terry Redlin is in a league all of his own in my opinion and that is backed up by proceeds from banquets. We just get more for his work every year at our banquet. Rosemary Millette is another favorite.

    How to Take Better Trophy Photos, By Jared Bloomgren

    Background of the antlers is really important. Sky is best most of the time, but blaze orange works pretty well too. I don't mind blaze in the picture, and if it is absent, someone seems to always comment "you were illegal....". Make sure you review the pictures before you start the guttin'...

    Wood Pellet Conversion for Wall Tent Stove????

    How much is a bag of pellets (uh, the good ones!)? I am thinking about adding a pellet stove or a propane one to an enclosed trailer. My brother is pushing the pellet stove, but I don't see much for advantages over propane. Maybe I am missing something. A drier heat maybe?

    DO NOT tell your non hunting friends you killed an elk...

    What has surprised me is that people I dont know that well at all will just come right out and ask for some. It is always awkward. Would you ask someone for their tomatoes in there garden out of the blue? Heck no! And think how easy that is compared to elk hunting! I share some of my wild...

    East Troublesome fire

    I was in RMNP in early Sept. I really feel for the people and critters. We mostly think about elk, deer, antelope, bears, etc when thinking about a fire. But a porcupine isnt going to outrun a fire. Does a fire pretty much decimate the slow moving vehicles of the animal world?
