    First Youth Hunt-Gear-Area-Expectations?

    Nothing better than getting your kids out! Gear for little ones that grow faster than weeds is so hard, I have no problem spending money on my kids but hard to justify stuff they grow out of before they wear it out, luckily I have 2 boys that are 2 years apart so I can extend the use out of them...

    Is your Accura threaded? I absolutely hate muzzle brakes but they really tune down those muzzleloaders, might be worth looking into.

    2024 Season recap with my 11 and 13 yr old

    Little late posting but always enjoy sharing my season with fellow roksliders and about my kids hunting season. Draw odds didn’t treat us well at all this year, they only drew extra doe tags but we still made the best of it! Antelope season went better this year than it has the last couple...

    What age do the kids start carrying packs?

    kid in the back has the kifaru mini keg, the one with a rack is the western edge, mini keg is harder to strap meat and heads to and all the straps where way to big, sold it. This is a EXO EXS, waist belt and shoulder straps are slimmed down to fit the little guys better, good working load...

    Help a Newb with some tips and tactics for kids please

    95% of my kids shooting is done standing or sitting off a tripod at the range and it’s paid off big time in the field. My 11 yr old pictured here has killed 4 deer now, 3 of them standing off the tripod and the 4th was a sitting position. With all tge available options I don’t see any reason to...

    Help a Newb with some tips and tactics for kids please

    Rifle hunting was a lot more productive than archery season. Younger boy was able to get this nice buck yesterday, after he shot the does stood around a little too long and he decided to double up and notch his extra doe tag too

    What age do the kids start carrying packs?

    My boys love carrying packs and it’s never slowed them down, think they started around 4-5 years old carrying water and snacks now they are 11 and 13 and have both carried their fair share of meat in their packs, they’ve really enjoyed carrying their own stuff and when I’ve offered to carry...

    Elk and Deer hunting with 10 and 12 yr old

    Thank you! You couldn’t have described it any better and I 100% agree, both my boys have had diapers changed on the mountains and been carried all over, they’ve spent countless days and hours in antelope blinds and have spooked more antelope than they watched me shoot the first couple years...

    Elk and Deer hunting with 10 and 12 yr old

    Thank you! Man the kids boots has been my biggest struggle with the kids, I’ve had them in cheap cabelas boots, then some women’s danners. Now they are starting to get into adult sizes I found some killer deals on super small crispi and lowas, boy hunted with the crispi’s for the first time...

    Help a Newb with some tips and tactics for kids please

    They call it a river but I’d consider more like a stream, I bet 90% of it isn’t more than 18” deep, there’s some corners that get a little deeper. Tried setting up on the pinch points best I could Of course they come by the blind we aren’t sitting in

    Help a Newb with some tips and tactics for kids please

    Thanks for the reply Rufus, I’m in Idaho, they are coming out to an alpha field so they have plenty of food and there is a river that runs through the property. As you mentioned they have plenty of food water and cover where they are at. Our archery season is Aug 30- Sept 30, If we make it to...

    Help a Newb with some tips and tactics for kids please

    Well let me start off by saying I’m not a whitetail hunter and a good chance you’ll never see me hunting them but my 11 and 13 year old boys are dead set on trying to kill some whitetail bucks with their bows so I’m trying to get this all figured out and hopefully cut my learning curve down...

    Let’s build a youth forever rifle!

    Congrats on winning the Chassis! Really do love all my XLR's I'm still on the hunt for the perfect rifle for my boys and starting to think it doesn't exist. I try and keep the bare rifle weight as light as I can then adding suppressors and heavier scopes doesn't seem so bad. For LOP and...

    11-12 year old boy, late season rifle boots?

    Oh yeah, you’re in the really hard age, I remember taking my boys yote hunting at that age with a few extra pairs of boots in the truck and checking them between stands to see if we needed to swap them out. My boys are 10 and 12, 12 year old is finally starting to hit some of the smallest adult...

    11-12 year old boy, late season rifle boots?

    Man kid boot options suck unless you want to spend a ton of money on something they’ll grow out of in a season. I’m fortunate to have 2 boys close in age so by the time the older boy grows out of something the younger boy can use it so it helps justify spending a little more money on them. Pac...
