    Audad Sheep Hunt -Desert Safaris texas - Sketchy Situation

    That being said, still very sorry to the OP for the terrible experience and embarrassing that a potential visitor to Texas was treated so badly. Hope you get the chance to find a better outfitter in the future to show you a great hunt down here with proper Texas hospitality.

    Audad Sheep Hunt -Desert Safaris texas - Sketchy Situation

    Think it was mentioned above, but if an outfitter says you'll need camping gear for a West Texas audad hunt, this should be a major red flag. Growing up in Texas, I've never heard of a ranch regardless of size that didn't have some kind of hunting shack or ranch house (even though it might be...

    Feedback on Maven RS.6 1-10

    Thanks @T_Widdy and helpful to get feedback on 7+ power image clarity issues (hopefully isolated since higher power is draw of this scope vs other 1-6 or 1-8 options). Did you check with Maven on issue? Also, it will be good to hear Form's evaluation on the scope.

    Feedback on Maven RS.6 1-10

    Has anyone tried out this scope yet? I've been looking for a 1-6 or 1-8 (or now 1-10 scope with this scope in the mix) to put on my AR for hog and coyote applications in TX. Maven usually has a 20% sale after Thanksgiving so thinking about getting it during sale.

    Edmonton Hunter Friendly Hotel

    Thanks all, I also found that the Four Points in Nisku was helpful with some space in their freezer.

    Edmonton Hunter Friendly Hotel

    Wrapping up an awesome hunt blasting geese and ducks after tomorrow morning in Saskatchewan with Quickload Outfitters east of Lloydminster. I've got an overnight in Edmonton before I fly home back to TX and was wondering if anyone knows of a hotel in Edmonton that offers freezer space for...

    Anchorage Outdoor Shooting Range

    Thanks for the recommendations @AKBorn and @3Esski . I heard a few things about these ranges but wanted to check here on Rokslide. Really appreciate it and I'll check them out before I head out to the mountains. Good luck on your hunts this year!

    What non-hunting podcasts do you listen to?

    Tons of great recommendations here. I'll add two podcasts I like for investing and one for politics/culture. - Michael Berry Show - Conservative politics but he also spends a lot of time on entrepreneurship, music, food, culture, etc that keeps the show entertaining and not depressing like a...

    Anchorage Outdoor Shooting Range

    Heading up to Alaska later this week ahead of my first Dall sheep hunt! Before I head into the mountains, I want to check my gun on paper after the long plane ride at an outdoor range in the Anchorage area. I'm guessing the Rokslide community will have some good recommendations. Thanks in...

    Reminder: Mountains will kill you

    A Rockslide on Rokslide! Be careful out there and a good story to keep in mind as we’re going across the mountain scree with heavy packs.

    Hunters Element?

    If anyone is interested I bought a pair of Hunters Element rain pants at Central Otago in NZ that were used on a stag and tahr hunt. I’ve got my other rain gear back home so I really don’t need these also. I’ve been thinking about posting on classifieds. The pants worked well during rainy...

    Colorado hotel resort within 2.5 hours of Denver.

    We hosted our wedding welcome party at The Hythe in Vail last July. The staff were excellent and everyone staying there really enjoyed the hotel. The short walk into the village and restaurants would be great for anniversary dinner. If you want a night in the mountains, head up to the...

    Screenshots of thinhorns through a spotting scope?

    Thanks for starting this thread Carson and to those posting pictures. I’ll also be on my first dall hunt in August and appreciate the opportunity to “practice” reviewing scope pics of legal vs non-legal rams here.

    Canada gun question

    Also for whatever it’s worth, I fly into both airports fairly frequently for work and an occasional hunting trip. Edmonton does seem to be more hunter-friendly but the trade off is that it doesn’t have as many direct flights to USA. If you’re going back to Yukon for hunting I’m sure you can...

    Canada gun question

    I flew into Edmonton last fall for a Sask goose hunt with my shotgun with no issues. I also had boxes of ammo in the same case. Be sure to use non-TSA locks. The only issue I encountered was at boarding going back home (out of Calgary instead of Edmonton). At check in the agent forgot to...

    Birkhühner in den Alpen! The worlds second most expensive chicken dinner.

    Sounds like a great time in the mountains especially with the extra Alps culture added to the hunting experience. My wife and I hiked next door through Triglav National Park in Slovenia last fall where we saw a ton of Ibex and Chamois. After hiking through those mountains and seeing those...

    Houston area Western Hunters

    Yes it is! I rucked my loaded pack 6 miles around the woods of Memorial Park yesterday as part of trying to get ready for Alaska sheep in a couple months. What we don’t have in elevation we more than make up for in mosquitoes and heat! I found both yesterday in excess.

    Snake bite

    Also mentioned on another thread but there should probably be more discussion on Rokslide regarding hunting in arid areas and first aid for rattlesnakes especially if hunting solo or a long ways from a hospital.

    Snake bite

    In Texas where we have tons of them, the thinking is that rattlers aren’t rattling because of the massive hog population. Apparently the hogs eat them so they learned to stay quiet. There’s a lot of debate on how true this is but I’d love to hear biologists thoughts on this theory.
