    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    I guess all those people who took their money out in early 2023 because of the immediate recession missed out on 7-15% gains in most standard asset allocations. And from the last few posts people they may finally move back in?

    You will get a free pass with the disabled veteran plates. Just follow the normal vehicle ethics and you’ll be fine (park all the way off the road, don’t encroach on other hunters, etc). The biggest issue with archery antelope hunting, going back to ethics, is people feel they own a water hole...

    While that is true, he wouldn’t have been able to hunt antelope with a rifle thus not an antelope hunting fan. And the general hunt pumpkin patch is a far different experience — and you know that.

    Idaho draw results 2023

    I think the family thing is out of control too but I use it for 1 non hunter (my mom) who has drawn 2 tags in three years for my teenage boy and since in those 3 years he didn’t draw himself I can say his opportunities has created a life long hunter along the way. Life long hunters are what we...

    Future

    Hunting Culture

    Here in Idaho There doesn’t seem to be a shortage of people spending all of elk season with a giant camp and rotating family and friends in and and out all season. Frankly it’s kind of annoying that people break the law on leaving their camps on public land for longer than the limits. That...

    Idaho 2023-2024 Seasons Proposals

    I don’t agree that the science is settled. And I don’t agree that we would end up with a bunch of dead small deer left to rot. Rather like in the owyhees, people would simply have to use their $1000 glasses and make sure they don’t screw up. If this doesn’t work, why do states like Utah have...

    Idaho 2023-2024 Seasons Proposals

    Apparently everyone thinks based on 30 year old data and binocular/scope technology that 3 point or better general tags for 18-64 year old hunters won’t work, but I think it’s our best bet to get a more reasonable age class in our state. It also makes people consider their ballistics and long...

    …

    My recommendation: plan to leave exactly when you are vested in 3 years. Spend the next 3 years traveling around the west and figuring out the scenery you like the most. Fly into Boise or SLC or Reno and just drive around and do some adventure. By the 3 year mark you will have a better idea of...
