I had a 2019 Colorado mini Duramax. Bought with 40,000 and traded at 130,000 in 2 years. Best mountain truck I’ve had by a long shot. I’m admittedly super tough on trucks in the hills. Took that thing on lots of trails that are more side by side trails than for trucks. Never missed a beat. The...
Same, same! I think the goal for most of us is to hunt those types of tags. Whether he’s made a bunch, or given a bunch, as an elk hunter he’s maximized it in my opinion. I’ve also never heard someone talk poorly about him that actually knows him. That goes a long ways today in my book.
Like most businesses, there are people that are good at it, and people that aren’t so good at it. I grew up in a large farming community. There were guys that do well enough to have new trucks, dirt bikes, side by sides, campers, snow mobiles and every other toy you can think of new every year...
I’m looking into this out of curiosity, but all I’m finding is that Jim Casey was a bachelor. He never was married or had kids from what I’m seeing. Where did you find that he’s a grandkid?
I believe he’s a farmer. I’m sure he does other things as well. If you want to hunt those types of hunts constantly, you need to be the best at what you do, or choose a different career that pays better, or be better at budgeting with what you currently make. Not sure you’re situation, but there...
100%
Let’s be honest, most the guys hating will never work hard enough to buy the tags Casey has/ does. I’m hoping to get to that point, but it takes A LOT of work after everyone else has gone home.
You hunt big animals where they are. This dude has been laying down big animals for a really long time. He just loves elk hunting. I remember him killing an ok bull in Oregon a couple years ago a few weeks after killing a couple 380+ bulls and he appeared to be just as excited.
Just because he...
Although you should gain a little on the mass measurement with eye guards, from my understanding a mule deer gets 4 mass measurements no matter what. You’d just take the same measurements twice for H1 and H2 with no eye guards. 10-14” bigger mass measurements with eye guards would be dang near...
Okay Roksliders, I’m looking for some book recommendations from business owners. If it helps I’m in the construction industry. I started a concrete company in 2022 in the Wasatch Front. I’d love to grow to the entire state of Utah and beyond. What are some books that have helped you “level up”...
Hunting: Kill a 4+ year old mule deer in Idaho and Utah, find my biggest deer shed to date (80”+), and find a 300”+ elk set. Get more comfortable with my bow, rifle and muzzleloader.
Physical: Workout consistently(big or small, just get it done), stick to an eating routine, and lose 15-20 lbs...
I think a 4p is about as small as I would go with a stove for 2 guys. And the 3p would be unnecessary weight for one guy needing a stove. Doing a 3p without the stove jack and 2 doors would be a sweet early to mid season shelter for a couple guys and a kid or 3 guys if you had to. For me, it’s...
Steve, when setting these rifles up, what are you expecting your total cost to be on the gun to be “hunt ready”? And what’s been your cheapest build and most expensive?
I just got a 6 creedmoor and need to get a scope put on it. I like the 3-18ish x 44 scopes. What is everyone’s experience with the Vortex Strike Eagle rifle scopes?
Or is there something else in that $750-$1000 range that is night and day better than everything else? Looking at FFP and MOA...
If I remember right, the base to my Swaro STS slid in and out, but my bino adapter didn’t. The plate on the binos was a vortex at first and it didn’t fit, then a suriu plate and same thing, then an Amazon special and it fit the best, but still a pain getting it in and out.
I didn’t love mine, took it off after giving it a shot for a few months. Being plastic, 4 of the 6 slots for the bolts and nuts broke. The slot for Arca doesn’t fit all arca. It worked for one plate, but none of the others without really working it into place (super tight). And last, it is one...
I can’t effectively hunt from my house where I currently live, but I’m in the process of selling and moving. We’re looking at an area where I’d be able to hunt from home and I couldn’t be more excited. There will still be traveling to certain hunts and setting up camp, but deer hunting in my...
