Trying to compile a little info and this group is as knowledgeable as any.
How many states have OTC mule deer opportunities for nonresidents? I know Nebraska has for both archery and firearm. Any other states have firearm? Any for archery? I'll consider muzzleloader a firearm for my info...
So, my dad drew unit 9 rifle in the random.....
I'm going along, well, because I'll likely never see a unit/tag like this in my lifetime and really who wouldn't want to go on a hunt like this?!
I guess I'm writing this post as much to brag/gloat/share the fun as anything, but if anyone has...
And I think I like it. Didn't notice any difference in group size, held steady and bow is a lot lighter. First shot felt funny without the 11" and 8oz B-Stinger on there, but I'll continue to shoot and see if I notice any negatives.
I'm sure this has been discussed before, but anybody else do...
Thought this had all the markings of being Rokslide worthy: planning the right gear, lightweight, getting the right nutrition, intestinal fortitude and one heck of a fun adventure.

I thought this was a good article. Very relevant to what we do, with a lot of good advice put in a way that a lot of us need to hear. I liked enough to steal my signature out of it...
Weekends on this forum just prove that this is the best forum out there: it's boring and nobody is posting. You all are out doing something instead of sitting on your computer or phone. Keep it up!
I know we have a lot of minimalist runners here, any thoughts on this?

Not hunting related, but anybody have any recommendations for for wildland fire boots? Any to stay away from?
I know we have a few wildfire guys on the forum.
Thanks!

With this being a mostly western forum, I'm curious what you all think about full containment rests when spot and stalking. Do you let the arrow rattle around in the cage of the full containment rest (not going to list brands, so I'm not bashing :) )? Or do you still put your finger on the...
Yeah, yeah, not what everybody comes to Rokslide to see :) but here's a vid of a WT deer hunt last week. Didn't kill anything, but that's not the only reason I bowhunt.

No kill, but here's the video:

Enjoy!
My Dad and I were finally able to go on an elk hunt together. I'd been dreaming of going with him for as long as I can remember. We spent 7 days in Northern Colorado last week. 3 really hot days, and the rest were really wet. Bulls were quiet for the most part, we'd hear a bugle or two each...
Any Roksliders using Strava (or any other "Map my ride" type application) for their riding or running workouts? I'm pretty competitive by nature, and any way that I can record what I'm doing to compete against myself in a later workout is awesome. I've written down every run since '99, but...
Anybody have any suggestions for an overnight hike for my wife and I this next weekend? We'll be at the Ft Collins Full Draw Festival Friday and are planning on hiking in Saturday, stay overnight and come out Sunday. I was looking at the Arapaho Pass/Caribou Lake trail, but noticed we need to...
I didn't want to hijack Jager's thread over in Elk, so I thought I'd ask here. Can anybody explain to me what they mean by wild game meat having a "gamey" flavor? I've eaten wild stuff my entire life and the only conclusion/definition I can come to is "not like chicken or beef"
My wife and I recently moved and are in the process of looking for a new home. Sometimes you find gems you just have to share. 3rd pic.

Not sure why a Mesa, AZ listing shows up for us anyway, but it's worth it. Sorta.
Here's a project that I got to work on this past winter. While turkeys aren't the most sought after game on Rokslide, it does involve two of our western states. Enjoy!

I'm curious as to what everybody considers their effective hunting range. What limits do you place on yourself for your shots distance wise? We're always told the western hunter has to be prepared to shoot farther, so how far is it?
For me it's pretty much 50 yards on a calm animal or one...
