Did Rokslide help you shoot an elk this year?

[cnelk]

Curious if the Rokslide elk forum assisted you in any way in shooting an elk this year?

Vote - Yes or No / explain if needed

I haven't been on my elk hunt yet but it sure helped me on my first muley!

Rokslide it’s self no not this year I got some good information from a user of it seems in the last couple years the information is kind of dropping off and it’s turning into a tag application help or where should I hunt show

Yes I shot a nice 5x5 in Colorado this year. I truly believe just reading all of cnelk's posts and absorbing his infinite knowledge put me on the track to success!

I need a "Not Yet" option, my hunt starts Nov 2nd.

Yes! I would not have been nearly as well prepared if not for this place. Rokslide allowed me to learn from the choices of others for the last 15 months, not just trial an error for myself in the field. This is the first place I'll send someone when they ask how to get into it. Not to post, but just to read. You can learn nearly everything you need to know here to get a solid base on DIY hunting out west, something I used to think was just a pipe dream.

Well, I appreciate that but dont take it to the bank

No doubt. Been reading the forum for a couple years and drew my first elk tag this spring. Kicked the research into overdrive and read dang near every current topic that was applicable in the elk forum! Helped me with gear selection, hunt tactics, learning elk behavior, etc. Even though I'd never elk hunted, I felt very prepared. Arrowed my bull on the 4th day. Can't wait to burn some points next yr and chase them in a tougher area!

I picked up some QAD exodus broadheads this year partially due to recommendations on Rokslide. Can't point to anything else from this year specifically but I'm sure there's plenty I've learned in previous years that I applied this year.

Not that I know of.......was RS on my hunt with me? I never saw anyone helping me.

 

[5MilesBack]

The info never hurts, but it #%!@ for sure didn’t help me pack it out!

Hmmmmm.....perhaps they need to start a RS pack out forum, and all the available local guys can come running to help. But then they'd all have everyone's honey holes, so that wouldn't work for long.

 

[Wrench]

It sure helped Visa.....just ask my wife.

 

[Sccritterkiller]

I had never killed a elk before this year..never even hunted one...for a beginner the basic info here is invaluable. Big thanks to all you experienced folks who are willing to post info, articles, vids and whatnot...its most appreciated especially when I set down to an elk dinner!

I voted no but that's not totally true. I learned a lot here from Paul (Elknut) and others but when it came down to it, the first elk that ran in on me got shot.

No

Too funny. As much as I love packing in, it was truck camp for me this year for most of my hunt. Truck camp definitely has its advantages.

Too funny Mike! Did RS help me pack my elk out lol

 

[trophyhill]

RS or the other forums? No. Collective advise from the great elk killers on the different forums over the years? Most definitely
