    Pack goats?

    Has anyone every use them? I read a brief article on them and now I am interested in them. Apparently a good pack goat can carry 45lbs. Seems like one to two goats could really help out on a pack out or maybe packing in the family.

    New gear or more hunting trips?

    This year I am thinking about buying some new gear. Manly a new Hoyt CST and a new A&H longbow. Maybe a few new hunting duds too. As I start doing the math I realized holy cow that's a lot of money and I could go on a couple out of state hunts for the cost of this stuff. I am very blessed...

    Elk call challenge

    I've been watching the push up challenge and thought why not a elk calling challenge. Seems like a good way to learn from all of us a rokslide. Does anybody want to give it a try?

    Anybody know of any sources for elk sounds? I've already have Sounds By The Elk from Elknut. I just want to double check the information. Maybe a source that says what each sound means? Once again I have all of Elknuts stuff just looking for more. Thanks Luke

    Who founded Rokslide?

    This may be a dumb question, I have no idea who the founding members are. Or their back grounds. I'm gonna assume that they are top notch hunters who live and breath the outdoors.

    How long do you hold on target?

    As I was practicing today I started holding on target for 3 seconds and was amazed how much my shooting improved. The only thing bad I noticed was I couldn't shoot as many arrows. Not that that is a bad thing. I did find it a little tuff to hold on target as opposed to holding at ancher.

    Do you use turkey decoys for deer?

    Have any of you tried using turkey decoys for whitetail? Or have you tried some light calling from your stand ? The deer get pretty jumpy around here,so I've been playing around with the calling part. I was thinking that this might calm em down a little. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I'm gonna use...

    Silencers?

    What are you guys using for silencers? I started out with the good old beaver balls. Then I ran into rain and freezing temps and wound up with ice cubes. So I switched to various rubber ones and settled with cat whiskers. They seem to work great and last forever. The downside is I think they rob...

    How close ?

    How close is to close as far as base camp goes for elk. I've always tried be right on top of when selecting a camp site. After a few years of blowing elk out these areas I'm starting to think that I'm to close. Maybe I should ease back a bit and not stink up my hunting area. How far do guys stay...

    Confidence kills

    How many of you guys feel that the trad gear is better for hunting? Whenever I run my compound I always feel at a disadvantage. It just seems that there is to many things that can go wrong with all those gadgets. Or maybe it's because I shoot the trad gear so much more.
