    Does anyone else?

    I can't beat the convenience of Amazon, but I live about 30 minutes from town, and hate shopping. The time savings are just too important to me. About two years ago I was going to rebuild a deck. I priced the lumber out at Home Depot, and went to the local lumber yard. The guy took my list...

    Post processing Nikon RAW files

    Just a follow-up, tried to install Nikon capture on one of my PC's and it worked fine. Bum's me that it won't load on my mac (don't have time or inkling to play with it) as that's what I use 90% of the time. Haven't used it yet but tutorials seem to indicate it will meet most of my needs...

    Dog questions.

    and the second image you posted.... That intensity - is so indicative of a chessie! That dog looks so much my old boy Rufus. He was a machine on geese! Could hunt an uncut cornfield for downed doves just as well. What a beautiful dog (both yours and mine (was))!

    Dog questions.

    That's great - you're entitled to your opinion (obviously a very experienced one). You have beautiful dogs and I'm glad that you are developing sound lines. But that doesn't change my opinion. I've been around a lot of chessies and have owned and loved them (always will). My experience with...

    Dog questions.

    Everybody is going to jump on me for this and that's fine. But if you've never had a chessie before, my one piece of advice is never, never trust them with strangers - dogs or people.There will be ten people chiming in that they'd trust their chess implicitly, and I don't care what they say...

    How to get banned from Rokslide

    That's a shame. But luckily there are a few quoted remnants that remain. For those so intrigued, Posts 48, 50, 56 and 58 of the "Alone show on Netflix / History channel" thread are billyj/'Alone Guy"'s everlasting words in the internet ether... Not the true thread that started it all, but...

    Is There a Line?

    I don't know if its a moral line, but I do think some get a bit greedy/thoughtless of others. I have a buddy that can kill upward of 20 per year (for a while we were unlimited does). Much of that he donate's, which is respectable, but I'd bet a lot of that donated deer ends up feeding peoples...

    Ode to "Alone Guy"

    Because I can't understand from the text where you're coming from, let me just be perfectly clear that any scoffing in the fine poetry of this thread is being directed at Alone Guy. Nothing but respect for this site and the moderators. I could care less about Alone Guy. I do however feel like...

    Hunting Coffee Table/Photo Books

    I recently searched around for some hunting based photo books/coffee table books, mostly to look at images and learn from. Doesn't seem to be much. There are some on waterfowl, upland, and southern hunting clubs, but little on big game or mountain hunting. Lots of wildlife photography, but...

    Post processing Nikon RAW files

    I have never done any post processing of my photos, and I think its time I started to do so. My initial needs are 1) overall corrections of the whole frame using nikon raw format images 2) would like to "learn in real time" some of the effects on my images with camera controls, namely white...

    Ode to "Alone Guy"

    Beautiful man, just beautiful.... Given the season, I'm reminded of this quote from "A Christmas Story", when Ralphie writes his 'theme' for school... “Oh, rarely had the words poured from my penny pencil with such feverish fluidity.”

    Ode to "Alone Guy"

    Inspired by the "how to get banned" thread, but not wanting to continue to pollute it, my creative juices (as sour as they are) got flowing. This is my first attempt at poetry since I was last forced to do it in about eighth grade, so go easy on me.... There once was a dude on the forum Who...

    How to get banned from Rokslide

    Maybe the Alone Guy thread could be reposted on its merits of 'how not to join a forum', 'how not to make friends', and 'how to get banned'. Sorry - I'll let it go. I was just disappointed to wake up to see how it transpired overnight, only to find it gone. Us east coasters are at a...

    How to get banned from Rokslide

    I don't think trying to re-convey it after the fact can do it justice. Let's just say you missed what may become a priceless moment in Rokslide history.

    Learn how to read hunting book??

    I've been looking for the exact same thing for my little ones. I love Kjelgaard when I was a kid, but I remember reading them when I was more like 9-11. I recently found my old copy of "irish Red" and have been reading it to my kids, but it is a little (maybe quite a bit) beyond what I would...
