Idaho Archery Mule Deer Hunt

[7mag.]

Thanks for taking us along, Robby. I admire your patience and persistence. I think most people don't understand how much frustration is involved in hunting trophy animals.

 

[robby denning]

thanks 7mag. Yip, you certainly don't just hike out on public land and take trophy buck. Takes a ton of time, at least it has for me. Thanks

Thanks for posting this. It's fun getting to learn from a pro. I look forward to seeing the next installment.

very cool Robby. What a stud of a buck!

It does take a lot of time and effort. Many trips to the same places just to find their hide outs. Great patience Robby, i have learned a lot!

The cliffhanger and then the hacking combined to make things very exciting for those of us in the bleachers. Maybe not as exciting or heartbreaking as for you.Thanks for making it really hard to not keep checking the computer and swearing about Syrians!

Thanks for bringing us along.

Thanks for bringing us along.

Robby I learned a bunch just watching thanks for putting it out there

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words. I figure the best way to help Rokslide members hunt mule deer is to share my real world experiences pretty much live in the field. We appreciate your support of our sponsors as that is really what makes Rokslide and these hunts possible.

Here is an update of the latest hunt for Jalapeno. A heartbreak for sure.

9/23, I'm camped at the bottom of the mountain ready to put in day 12 tomorrow for Jalapeno. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Good luck today Robby! Put that buck on the ground!

Good luck!!!

Just put in day 13 on Jalapeno. I saw him! He must have forgiven me. He's hard-horned and looking great.

Good luck Robby. I hope you can single him out.....he's a tank. Can you rifle hunt him when the season opens?

 

[robby denning]

No Triple, I've got outfitter commitments for the rifle, so it's archery or nothing. He was alone this morning which got me excited. It's been neat to watch him go from the big bach herds a month ago to just hanging with another buck to alone today. Of course, he could still hook up with other bucks.

I always laugh when I read your tagline.

 

[robby denning]

Ok Roksliders, it's Sunday evening- tomorrow is the last day. I'm headed out for Jalapeno country in the next hour. Camp at the bottom of the mountain tonight and hike in before daylight for the 15th day of chasing him. It's my last chance at him, maybe forever. I only say that because I have only ever found a few bucks the next year for whatever reason. Seems like if you don't get them the year you see them, they are tough to find again. I have had it happen a few times, though.
Anyway, follow the Rok Blog tomorrow and see how it pans out. I'm thankful to God for this chance to hunt a rare and great buck, whether I get him or not.

Best of luck Robby.

Robby...good luck dude and God Bless!

That buck has your name on him.

Vendetta!

 

[7mag.]

Good luck Robby. Even if you don't get him, you get to be out doing what you love. I have always felt that getting an animal is a bonus, the hunting is what I am there for.

 

[Trumpkin The Dwarf]

Go get him buddy!
