    Floor-less tipi secondary protection option?

    Hi all- I’m looking for some advise on a secondary layer to run in my Argali Absaroka 4P tipi. Primarily to ensure my bag stays dry from the ground but also to keep clean and prevent bugs (I’m a bit of a neat freak in my camp). I’ve narrowed it down to 2 options: 1. Bivy- OR Helium (15 oz) 2...

    2022 - Big Idaho Buck

    Well luck struck and I drew a good Idaho deer tag. I was really excited and wanted to make the most of my fortune and started scouting a couple days after the results were posted. Overall, I spent 23 days scouting and saw quite a few bucks…my notes totaled 164 bucks. Although this is a...

    Poly tips and accuracy

    Hi all, I have a Tikka 300 Win Mag and have been shooting the Barnes TTSX 165gr bullets for quite a few years with excellent accuracy and performance. Unfortunately, the supply is gone and I only have 24 rounds left so I recently found and bought some Sig Sauer 165gr elite copper hunter (non...

    2021 Idaho General Season Buck

    I was fortunate to scout up a great Idaho buck this summer and get him on opening day of the General Idaho rifle deer hunt. He lived in thick, difficult country to hunt with limited vantage points to get open angles. Prior to the season I only saw him 1 out of 7 days but on opening morning….it...

    2020 buck down

    Here’s a buck I just took with a rifle. First found him in July during a scouting trip along with another 180 type buck and a mystery buck I saw that seemed to have really good potential with quite a bit of growing left. To make a long story short, after 15 days of scouting, and not being able...

    General Season Idaho Buck

    Here are a few pics of a buck I killed in Idaho this year. On a very tough year for deer numbers, I was fortunate to find this buck during a scouting trip toward the end of August. I only got to see him for about 10 seconds until he disappeared back into the timber. I followed with 5 other...

    7mm-08 youth ammunition loads...

    I live in Idaho and my girl is 10 and old enough to hunt. She’s excited but still very small...only about 60lbs. For Xmas I bought her a youth Savage 7mm-08 with a box of Hornady 120grain reduced recoil bullets. I sighted it in last night and was surprised at the recoil as it might still be a...

    Garage bucks / House bucks / Man Cave

    I love seeing other people’s mounts and what they do with them at home. Let’s see those walls...whether they are in a shed, garage, house or a man cave! Here’s my garage bucks and some mounts in my bar in the basement.

    Colorado deer

    Hi all- Here are a few pics of the buck I shot in Colorado this year. I shot this buck on Sunday, the last day of 3rd season, at just under 200 yards. Turns out I saw him earlier in the hunt but at that time I was pursuing a bigger deer. On the last day while approaching a knob to glass I...

    2017 Muzz Buck

    I’ve always struggled posting pics on Rokslide but I just registered to TapaTalk...hopefully this works. If no pics show let me know. Here’s a pic of a buck I shot last year with a muzzleloader. 28” wide, 190. I gave Robby the bottom teeth and he lab aged at 7 years old. First buck I’ve...

    Looking to sell my Nikon Fieldscope 50ED with the MCII (13-40x). Some small nicks on the body and a few hairline scratches on the lens but fully functional. This eyepiece is very hard to find and it really improves the performance of the optics. Great lightweight setup. Asking $400 Thanks...

    When to load during a hunt

    Hi all- I'm not real experienced in muzzy hunting so I would like some input on when you would recommend loading a muzzleloader for a hunt? The hunt is late so the weather will be cold and potentially snowy. Also it is for mule deer and I will mainly be doing a lot of long distance glassing...

    Knight barrel length vs accuracy

    I'm looking at purchasing a Knight muzzleloader- mountaineer/Disc or ultra light. The difference in barrel length is 27" vs 24". It will be used in the west for late season and potentially early season hunts so wt could be important in some hunts and not so much in others. How much is...

    Idaho controlled hunt app fee's

    I just finished my Idaho deer and elk controlled hunt applications. The cost was $6.25 per species. This seems ridiculously cheap...does anyone else think the same? Today at a Maverick I bought a Gatorade, cashews and snickers and it was over 6 bucks. I remember my economics professor...

    Best time of day to kill bucks...

    So I was looking through some past entries in my hunting journal and was surprised at the time of day I killed most of my bucks. We all know first and last light are traditionally the best times, but my kills don't necessarily reflect that. Given their ages I'd consider all these bucks (except...

    Nikon ED Fieldscopes- 50ED, 82ED with MCI and MCII eyepieces

    I'm looking to sell the optics package that I've used now for years in various mule deer hunts. It really is a great setup and I believe one of the best in that price range. I typically used the 50ED for high country backpack hunts where weight is an issue and then switch to the 82ED for summer...
