    Mid-day mule deer strategy?

    This feels like the best summary in the thread. Especially that last one. Lol. I've had pretty good luck finding deer between 10-3 pm just be staying in the glass in open country and burns and catching them re-bed or picking up tines. Picked up last year's buck at 12:12 pm.

    Hey if any of you guys are wanting to make an impact for long-term mule deer conservation in Wyoming, you can add your input without ever leaving the comfort of your keyboard during public comment on the Upper Wind River Mule Deer Corridor. These are the deer that migrate down for that silly...

    Sold Magview S1 (New In Box)

    Sold to the fellow Wyomingite 20 miles down the road! 👌 Now if only more Rokslide sales could be done at the local steakhouse. 😂

    Sold Magview S1 (New In Box)

    I ended up with an extra and was gonna have it as a backup, but decided I’d rather see it getting used. Never even cracked the seal. $140 $120 TYD OBO Venmo is preferred. PayPal works, too.

    Pronghorn's Status Across the West

    Many answers can be found here: https://wgfd.wyo.gov/hunting-trapping/job-completion-reports Oftentimes they aren’t giving out doe tags in places below objective. If they (like the type 7 tag by Lander) it’s because the herd is under objective but you still get a couple hundred goats parked...

    Area Biologist Questions?

    One question missed here, OP, is what kind of habitat they prefer during the time you're hunting. If the bio says, "Focus on the oak brush" that's way more helpful than just being like "Willow creek has good deer number." Because if you're sitting on the south slope of "Willow Creek" looking...

    Pronghorn's Status Across the West

    The nice thing with pronghorn is, if we can keep their good habitat intact and without major barriers, usually they just need water to grow pretty quickly. That's in the short term that's being talked about here (the last 5 years). I think that's why you're seeing such good numbers increase in...

    Snake Season is upon us....

    4 rattlesnakes on one short horseback ride yesterday. Its looking like it might be a doozy of a year here in Central WY.

    Idaho Res General Deer Tag

    At the risk of this going off the rails, I'll comment that I appreciate Idaho's system, even as a NR (once you get the tag). Gives archery-rifle combo guys a lot of time to turn up an older age-class deer while keeping the yearly traditions alive for those who live in Idaho. Winterkill...

    Argali Owyhee 1P Tent | What do you wanna know?

    I bet its been in 30 mph with me and was fine. I don't know if any tent is THAT fun in high winds. haha. I'd bet this doesn't shed the wind as good as a Hilleburg. It's just not built for that specific purpose.

    301 Level Tikka Rifle Build

    Which caliber did you go with?

    301 Level Tikka Rifle Build

    Yeah man. So like the 201 build (that I wrote about here: https://www.rokslide.com/a-rok-solid-western-hunting-rifle-build-by-jaden-bales/) has minimal gunsmithing. The only thing I had someone else do was I had the barrel threaded and a brake put on it. I did the tweaking with the trigger...

    Hawaiian Goat

    I killed a couple critters in Hawaii last December. Had a friend with a freezer I was staying with, so froze up the meat, put it in YETI carry-on-sized bag, a backpack as my personal item, and checked my gear. No problem getting it to another freezer before it thawed. They shipped the heads to...

    Washington Mule deer hunters ?

    No doubt. Certainly a muscle to build. If you have a lot of relationships with landowners naturally, no matter if you hunt on their place or not, its much easier.

    Washington Mule deer hunters ?

    This is a lost art. Wish more guys would take this approach. There's a lot of private not getting hunted that could be.
