    Wyoming Antelope - Bad News

    I’ve been keeping an eye on this. I have built a few points and 2022 was looking like my first year for trying WY antelope. Health of the population is way more important than me, but a bummer to hear. I will keep my ears open.

    Starting on 2019 right now.......

    #1, ditch the soda. Enjoying a beer here and there (and not 4+ per evening) at least has some social/personal purpose, soda is just junk sugar that we get used to drinking. After being off it for a while you'll find yourself barely able to choke one down. I used to drink 3 or so cans of coke per...

    Ever take him again?

    I think you should kiss him on the mouth for helping you learn that months of pain-staking planning and thousands of dollars just can't beat dumb luck sometimes.

    Picking a camping spot

    Truck camping is easier IMO. If you know a general area you are going to hunt, you'll start seeing spots along the road where past camps have been. Some of them may not be very obvious on aerials, but you'll be able to spot them more clearly on the ground. That's been my experience at least.

    First Solo Trip - CO 1st Rifle 2018

    Thanks guys, means a lot. I won't call myself a germiphobe, but I'll kindly tell a coworker to get out of my office if they're in there hacking and sniffling. Several years ago I had something similar happen right before spoonbill snagging season. A coworker got sick in October and for 5 months...

    First Solo Trip - CO 1st Rifle 2018

    Man, where to start. This trip ended in a way that not once in all of all my planning, prep, etc. did I think about it going like this. But, I felt this thread needed a follow up or conclusion. I headed out at dark thirty Wednesday morning and drove straight through to my general hunting area...

    Nightmare trip

    Well this thread took a turn for the "WTF?" really fast. That guy needs serious help.

    Stove pipe length?

    I think TiGoat's response when I asked was "at least a foot, more is better". I bought 7 foot for my Jimmy Tarp Hudson and kept it for a SO Cimarron. If you look at the pics on the SO website it shows 2 ft or so I'd bet. That seems to be a good number knock on wood. Some will say it will be...

    Backcountry Med Kit

    I'll add my 2 cents as someone with more medical training than backcountry success. There's a difference between "first aid" and "trauma" or life-saving equipment and some of that has been mentioned above. I carry Leukotape wrapped around a piece of a straw for hot spots and its many tape uses...

    First Solo Trip - CO 1st Rifle 2018

    Good stuff guys, I’ve been putting in the work and effort for several months, just shaking off that last minute angst. Ready to get on the road! Davsco I’ve heard about the rain, be careful up there!

    First Solo Trip - CO 1st Rifle 2018

    Thanks guys! I've already covered my bases on all the recommendations above so that's reassuring! :D I definitely feel like I've been putting in the prep work, but the first solo trip feels like the first-first trip did. Fortunately I had the big ginger on that one to dag me along!

    First Solo Trip - CO 1st Rifle 2018

    Man, I really hesitated to make this thread. May have a mod delete it if I secretly stay home and eat pizza for a week. :D Just kidding. To be honest, it's about half to start/share another "noob goes elk hunting" report and half to get some last minute tips and encouragement from Rokslide in...

    Where do you keep your tag when packing out meat?

    Consensus seems to be in the first load to the truck, attached to the rear quarter/meat with evidence of sex also attached there if required by state. Assuming that if you're going to run in to an agent, it will be at the truck.

    meat in the cooler

    It's a topic of much debate, several threads on it here on Rokslide. Some soak their deer meat etc. until it is pork white, some feel that ruins the meat. Personal preference. If you've never soaked meat in ice water until essentially all the blood is drained out, you may or may not like the...

    GoHunt worth it?

    Depends on how much you value your time to a point. I dug up data and crunched numbers for Colorado, 2 seasons, both years got a free trial of GoHunt and GoHunt filtered the same options I had found on my own. It's a neat service though, especially if you are looking at hunting multiple states...
