    Thousands of acres of crop land getting turned into solar farms across the Midwest

    This country is spending dump truck loads of money for solar and wind energy and getting thimble loads as results. The first step to affordable and cleaner energy is natural gas. The infrastructure is mostly in place, and while not 100% clean, it's a huge step to a reasonable alternative...

    Grand pa’s old mount, what to do with it?

    My dad gifted me my grand dad’s only mounted deer. Killed back in 1979. I remember how proud he was of this mount. Thing is, it’s in tough shape. I have a taxidermist that can make it into a skull mount. What would you guys do? I really have no room for it as is.

    The Topic is knives.

    I second the recommendation on a Wicked Edge. Pricey for sure, but mine is at least a decade old and hanging in!

    The joys of getting older

    At 58 I am well experienced with losing hair in places I wished it would stay, and gaining hair where I wished it would not grow, Crazy. But the real pain is my little bride, who seems to notice these displaced hairs while I am driving and tends to want to extract them immediately!! Nothing...

    Average age of Rokslide folks

    I am with you. However, this forum is targeted to, well, guys that slide rocks when they hunt. That style of hunting seems to lean towards the 35-50 guys. I know older guys still hunt in the hills, which is why I am here. To live vicariously through you guys.

    Where do you get your daily News?

    Lent of 2022 I made the decision to stop listening to ANY 24 hour news cycle channel. Even cancelled the XM in my truck. All I listen to now is music I choose and podcast. Start the day off with a men's devotional and go from there. One of the better things I've ever done. I will never say...

    "I don't really want to kill anything"

    Setting aside our personal goals to allow the older AND the younger hunter to enjoy a day in the field, is what will help to preserve hunting in this country.

    "I don't really want to kill anything"

    My dad is 84 now. Still today, spending the day with him requires leather gloves. Would not trade away a single day with him. You’ve made the right decision. Keep us posted on the outcome.

    Fishing destination ideas-HELP WANTED

    Do some research on Capt. Peace Marvel out of Venice Marina, Venice, La. The good thing about a bachelors “party” down there is there is not much trouble a man can get into. Takes a half dozen women to get a full set of teeth most the time. But the fishing is literally outstanding. There are...
