BaseMap AI trained on Rokslide

[jgilber5]

Just came across this…mapping and text AI also pulling from Rokslide. All the more reason to stick to the forum rules. Interesting move from a Rokslide sponsor

Someone demo this thing, see what happens if you ask it if 223 is appropriate for elk.

Dammit they already found my Twin Lakes spot . If AI ever gets access to ONX user data we’re all screwed…

 

[KyleR1985]

Not screwed.

The same thing will happen when OnX was introduced: every public land banger with access to the internet studied aerial maps until their eyes crossed, and landed on what looks like prime animal spots.

Then every public land banger meets every other public land banger in those spots.

I show up at the public piece and apply my allergy to other humans - go where they don’t. Turns out critters do the same thing.


This will only condense where people go. The AI doesn’t tell the critters where to go. Human pressure does.


Now, if the AI starts tracking cel phones and tells you where to go based on where people ARENT, well I might find a new hobby

Shhh.

Dang, I wonder if they are pulling gps metadata from pictures.

I can't put a georeferenced jpg into a RS thread, or into any forum I'm on. Could just be my pics but I can't do it.

That’s reassuring.
iPhone or android?

Oh no I previously mentioned using ai for scouting and the amount of controversy I stirred up was insane
All from dudes who pay for go hunt and take master classing on glassing and scouting

Someone demo this thing, see what happens if you ask it if 223 is appropriate for elk.

Based on the extensive discussion in the context provided, yes, .223 can be an effective cartridge for elk when used properly, though this remains a controversial topic among hunters.

Evidence supporting .223 for elk:

• Multiple documented elk kills at ranges from close distance to over 800 yards
• Successful harvests with proper bullet selection, particularly the 77gr TMK (Tipped MatchKing)
• Examples include elk taken at 555, 633, and 803 yards with quick, clean kills
• Wound channels described as "massive" and "beyond acceptable" when using appropriate bullets
• Complete penetration through chest cavities, including spine severance in some cases

Key requirements for success:

• Bullet selection is critical - fragmenting bullets like the 77gr TMK are preferred over traditional hunting bullets
• Proper shot placement in the front half of the animal
• Understanding impact velocity requirements (bullets effective down to around 1800 fps)
• Range limitations based on maintaining adequate bullet performance

Arguments against .223 for elk:

• Traditional hunters prefer larger cartridges for margin of error
• Some outfitters refuse clients using smaller calibers
• Legal restrictions in some areas
• Concerns about performance on less-than-ideal shot angles

The consensus from experienced users is that with proper bullet selection and shot placement, .223 creates sufficient tissue damage for reliable elk kills. However, this requires more precision in shot selection compared to larger cartridges that offer greater margin for error.

The key principle emphasized throughout the discussion is: "bullets matter more than headstamps" - meaning bullet construction and placement are more important than cartridge size alone.

Show me your honey hole.

OTOH - I asked "were to find elk in ... [a properly named unit near me] in [the properly named state]" and the Artemis response mixed info from two different states. The final result summary was correct, commonly known, and broad sweeping generalizations that would apply to any low-harvest-odds unit across the country. The response was not unit-specific and no better than you could get from any forum response by some FNG who's never set foot in the unit.

I asked the same question about a low-draw-odds (popular) unit in the same state, and only got a regurgitation of state rules. A document about antelope from an adjacent state was also referenced but (off the top of my head) I don't see the errors in the Artemis response.

@Maverick1 ... you should ask that question...Artemis knows what a honey hole is.

And the response time has gotten longer since this thread opened.

Show me your honey hole.

This could get dangerous.

I remember around 2 decades ago searching for redhead looking for the bass pro/redhead outdoor online store.


Thats not what I found.

I was just gonna jump on here and see if we could get some testers! You guys beat me to it.

Just so everyone knows, every LLM in existence is trained on Rokslide and every other hunting forum. We are just trying to make them produce better answers, ones more specific to hunters.

One of the big changes here is that we integrated it into our desktop app so you can include a snapshot of your map and ask questions about it.

Happy to answer any and all questions about Artemis.

We use the forum text only.

I was trying Grok out just yesterday, and asked about areas to hunt in a specific unit for a hunt we have coming up. It was quite interesting feedback. Rokslide and several other forums were a source
