    The most dangerous animal on public land

    That's a sketchy encounter. Lots of the areas I hunt chukar / huns are leased for grazing, and when I go with my dog, the cattle steer clear. When I go out by myself to the same areas during bow season, the cows mess with me and have a lot more gumption. It's the flushing dog though, they don't...

    Just played with GoHunt's new mapping interface for the first time - what do y'all think?

    I watched Randy Newberg's little tutorial video on GoHunt's new mapping, and it got me pretty excited about it. Just spent the last couple hours using it for the first time. I'm an OnX + Google Earth guy when it comes to e-scouting, so I knew it would take a lot of cool / unique features to get...

    What'd you forget?

    This was during a rifle season a few years back, but I forgot my damn boots once... Hustling to get out the door at 4am I just totally spaced throwing my boots in the car. My buddy got this photo evidence. I was constantly hopping around to avoid deep puddles as we'd hike along old mining...

    Creative Ideas for Crossing Rivers/Streams

    Sorry I should've specified - the stretch of the river we were fishing is not often used for boating and it was on private land (both sides). I'm not too familiar with how river ownership / public access works east of the Mississippi (maybe still a navigability determination?) but where we were...

    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    AAPL and Tesla initiate their stock splits this weekend, taking effect 8/31. It's a 4-1 split for AAPL and 5-1 for TSLA, so share value's about to be hacked down. Split should be finalized 8/31 EOD. AH volume will likely be pretty high thereafter for both, but assuming values hold through monday...

    Creative Ideas for Crossing Rivers/Streams

    Gotcha. Well, I did this in Michigan one salmon season when my two aunts were gonna join my dad and I for a full day (they're not used to wading and would have a hard time with it). Warning - the supplies necessary for this (patio chairs, two extension ladders, paracord, climbing rope) required...

    First solo hunt, any advice?

    Jot down a detailed hunt plan in an email to send to people - camp locations, hunt radius estimate, deadlines / timing, etc. Don't let your mind convince yourself to leave early - and at the same time, exercise extra caution and skedaddle if necessity arises. I also find it harder to get up...

    Colorado Weather - Where do you get your forecasts?

    Mountain weather forecasts can helpful for bow season in CO, especially in early season when you can find yourself above treeline: https://www.mountain-forecast.com/ I use that in conjunction with the zip code forecast on NOAA’s page (this is my go-to usually) - once you search a zip, you can...

    First South Dakota trip

    As has been pointed out, just make sure you have super warm, comfortable base layers and outer layers. The wind can cut deep so don’t forget the hands, face and ears. In country like that it can also be nice to bring an insulated ass pad, something that clips onto your pack, easy to plop down...

    FNG who splits time between OR and CO.

    FNG been a longtime lurker, finally sat down and joined. Huge fan of the knowledge and discussion here. Feel like I learn something new in every thread. Born & raised in northern CO, still got a place in my hometown where my parents and siblings are. Moved to OR about 7 years back, got a...

    Creative Ideas for Crossing Rivers/Streams

    What's the average depth, and what's the flow like? I have done something like this before for work using ladders, chairs, and a cable, but my method depends on it being somewhat shallow (3-4ft max).

    Need to vent

    Sorry to hear all that buddy. Going into my gun dog's second season he had to have a small operation on his gut, nothing serious, but he slipped out of his cone at night and tore through all his stitches and messed himself up real bad. Went from a 2-week recovery to an 8-week recovery, and...

    Fly Fishing

    As others have said, for a 5-6wt rod, going with 5lb 5x leader and 5lb 5x tippet is a solid rig for ID trout angling, and the majority of trout streams in the Western U.S.

    Job offer to AZ, what's the outdoor opportunities?

    There's lots of opportunities for hunting, angling, camping, lots of cool ranges, and lots of cool mountain bike trails. I've never lived in Phx, but I've got buddies there and can give you lots of recommendations, feel free to PM me.
