Your top takeaways/tips & tricks from Rokslide

[Fireflyfishing]

1. Always choose a magnum over a smaller cartridge or caliber.
2. Always use Vortex Optics
3. If Vortex isn’t available, fall back to a Leupold.
4. Use the cheapest mounting solutions possible to mount your scope. Torque driver…not needed.

Over time, I've learned who I listen carefully to and who I ignore. There are people who drop absolute nuggets of golden information in a ton of their posts here! There are also people who claim to be experts who don't know shit from brown gravy. Knowing which person is which is really important!

Knowing that my gun is more accurate than I am, and realizing my pride was bigger then it should be.

The amount of unnecessary junk you can pack in the back country for no reason.

Not needing camo or fancy clothing to get work done.

Vortex optics are a legit optic, and to be proud of my username.

The mass amount of knowledge of threads on spring bear hunting. Never thought of bear hunting until I joined, now after this year even though I didn't connect with one, I'm hooked.

One more thing.

The caliber debates,

For someone who is truly new to rifle hunting, they've actually made me think more about the bullet and cartilage I'm wanting to use. And to research it more plus keep a open mind.

 

[Wrench]

I would have never considered refinancing my house to go on a 15 day hunt.

Thanks Rokslide.
