    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    Same question for me. Changed the thread name the other day, and now it's moved. I don't get it.

    What’s does your fitness routine look like to get in(and stay in) elk hunting shape?

    Another vote for MTN Tough. I had already lost 30 pounds going into starting the program. I had been biking, doing some kettlebell workouts, and rucking with a 50-70# pack. I thought I was in respectable shape but wanted to crank it up a notch. I was humbled very quickly. Honestly probably the...

    Iron Will Broadheads

    Shot mine this year with a IW Solid 100. Zipped through like hot butter. Bull made it 42 yards and expired. I can see why one might make an argument for a larger cutting diameter, but if you put about any sharp modern broadhead through the triangle, good things usually happen quickly. Easy to...

    @coop22250 ; where do you think it goes from here? What's your exit strategy?! I'm in it, not a ton, but what are you hearing?

    Cooler Advice For Elk

    Shot a nice 6 point bull this year. Boned out meat fit nicely in a coleman 120 and 100 quart coolers with barely enough room for ice. I put the loins in a different cooler because I had one, but didn't need to. I think if you had around 220 to 250 quarts of capacity it would be just right.

    Best flying broadheads on the market

    I'm going to leave the bow tuning discussion out of this as it should be fairly obvious that the base point is a well tuned bow and regardless of regulations or your feelings on fixed vs. mechanicals. 1. Mechanicals are generally going to fly great and better than anything else. My pick would...

    2021 - Weight Loss/Way in Thread

    This year I hit 295+ in February at 34 years old. Heaviest I’ve ever been. I had an extensive surgery in 2019 and used that as an excuse not to get in shape the rest of 19, went on a great elk hunt fairly out of shape. Then into the Covid however many pounds. Decided to make a change this year...

    How long does it take to break down an elk in the field?

    First bull, first time, we were right at 45 minutes from tag on to meat in bags, in a good spot. 2 guys running knives and a 3rd holding legs and helping with holding the game bags. We were not caping for a mount, and we did the gutless method. Tenderloins took a little longer to get out without...

    Favorite audio books?

    Vince Flynn stuff is great. On that same line, Jack Carr has a good one as well. "Terminal List" However, I've never had as many people blown away as I have from my audiobook recommendation of "Endurance" By Alfred Lansing. It's the story of Shackleton's doomed antarctic journey. Trapped in sea...
