    NM Road Access Help

    Depends on where you go for how tight the roads are. Mostly just rough and can be nerve racking muddy. Then again, I’ve hunted January with dry, solid roads and no snow. Been pretty dry lately and today was fairly warm. I actually ran the air conditioner in my truck as I drove around town this...

    NM Road Access Help

    Don’t take an atv. You will freeze your cahones off. A SxS with a heated cab would be fine but you will more than likely prefer a truck this time of year. Bring chains. You may or may not need them but better to have them and not need them than the other way around.

    7mm PRC recommendations

    Uh oh. Be careful announcing on Rokslide that you shoot a brake. You might get crucified. No one will hunt with you let alone even shoot around you. 🤣

    NM Road Access Help

    You will know a locked gate when you see it. Big giant pipe welded together, cemented posts on the sides and it stretches all the way across the road. Weather is hit or miss. Warm right now but it can be brutally cold in January. I’ve hunted it -22 before and it warmed up to -3. Other times it...

    Bear Cape Disaster - How to Handle?

    Sounds like it was left out for a while before being frozen or was kept for too long in a cooler or something like a refrigerator before being frozen. You would be surprised at what can and can’t be fixed. I used a rugger that had hundreds and hundreds of spare bear parts and pieces of hide...

    Mkc StonedGoat or Argali Serac

    I have an MKC Blackfoot and like it quite a bit. Went through my whole elk with it and never needed a touch up. Anything that has a coating on it like their knives has to be treated with some kind of oil to prevent rusting. Is the knife worth the cost? No. I won’t buy another one. Lots of...

    Sharpening knives?

    I sharpen knives every single day. Well, not really sharpen, it’s more like a touch up. I actually sharpen them about once a week. The rest of the time I just have to touch them up on a medium stone then a fine stone and all day with a polished steel. I like to sharpen knives, fletch arrows, and...

    Opinions for elk Euro Mount

    It looks like that skull needs some serious degreasing first if you want it bright white. I can see grease and some blood stains on it. If it doesn’t bother you then whiten away. It takes a lot to whiten the teeth so I wouldn’t worry too much about leaving them in. I prefer to leave the ivories...

    NM Road Access Help

    You can drive any road until you come to a locked gate or a closure area. If a gate is left open don’t drive in! You may not get back out. Hunting is usually better in January if you walk behind the gates or even a little ways off a road. There has been a lot of activity in a few certain areas...

    Add Me to the Leupold Complainer List

    Interesting. I’ve never had a problem with Leupold scopes. Even had one I remounted on another rifle when I rolled an atv 800’ down a mountain. Broke the synthetic stock and bent the barrel over like a spaghetti noodle. No damage to the scope. Remounted on another gun and it shoots lights out no...

    Traditional vs Elope

    Our wedding didn’t cost very much. Didn’t have to pay anything to get married in a church. Reception was in the gym of the same church. My wifes aunt had all kinds of decorations so we used those with white Christmas lights hanging from wires across the gym. I did all the meat and we made the...

    Relocating Family to Argentina

    My wife has to help my 7th grader with his Algebra homework all the time and she has a hard time remembering as well. It’s been 36 years since I had anything to do with math in 7th grade. 🤣 The extent of my math now deals in pounds and ounces on a daily basis.

    Relocating Family to Argentina

    Hope it works out for you but there is no way in hell I would Move my family out of the U.S. I always say going out of country is a nice place to visit but not live. If your daughter is 5 now and you stay till she is middle school age that’s 13. You are looking at 7-8 years not 2-3. It would...

    Best insert glue for removal

    I use the low temp glue and have never lost an insert in a target. I did lose some back in the late 80’s when all hot melt was brittle. Most of the time I put bow string wax on the threads then screw them into my HIT insert. Then add glue to the insert and the ferrule of the fieldpoint or...

    Youth packs for hauling meat

    I would go with the Western Edge or an Exo. I have an Exo K4 and it’s a fantastic pack. I would imagine their pack designed for women and kids is just as fantastic. I have no experience with the other but have been eyeballing them as well for my son and daughters.

    Aging venison

    Haven’t killed a deer 24 years…..can’t draw a tag to save my life. I would hang it in my cooler @34 degrees just like my elk.

    5 pin vs Single pin

    Like myself and others have said. You don’t want to move that single pin in a hunting situation for anything under 40 yds. My bow is an older carbon element and I shoot 482 grain arrows. I aim right at the animal from 40 yds and in. It takes a bit to learn this method. Overall, you need to shoot...

    Euro mount costs.

    Spot on. When I did taxidermy all this had to be figured into the price. When I quit I was charging $200 for deer, antelope, bear, etc. $400 for elk, moose and more for beef/ buffalo. I macerated them, degreased, then whitened and sealed them. I used a method for sealing that museums use for...

    Newer Hoyts: Do you shoot off the riser?

    Am I the only one that thinks this makes no sense at all? Is this about shooting off the shelf of the bow or just using the factory grip?
