A pair of Nikon HG binoculars would be very meaningful to me. I am an Idaho transplant that grew up in east central Iowa. After being raised in Iowa, I left the "nest" and attended college (and hunted too much) in Northern Wisconsin. After that, I attended graduate school in western Kentucky and...
Hi Les,
I shoot in the RAW format. An image shot in the RAW format contains more data than a JPEG image. I always shoot and edit in RAW and then convert to JPEG afterwards. One downside to RAW is that the files are much larger than a JPEG, but that's because a "RAW" photo contains more data...
wesfromKY, thanks for your insight. I appreciate your constructive criticism. I checked out several of the photographers that you mentioned and I can definitely see a big difference between their work and mine. I am working on learning how to take a "photograph" versus a "picture" or "snapshot"...
Thanks PantherCity. I appreciate your advice. I do need to bolster my portfolio. I like your idea of photographing fly fisherman. I live near a famous steelhead river (Clearwater River). Once the fishing picks back up this fall, I should have a good opportunity to photograph fly fisherman.

Any suggestions on how to gain experience/get into contact with sponsored hunters, and others interested in advertising?
I take photos every time I am recreating in the outdoors and I have the best photos for sale on my website. I am currently working on getting my photos up at cafes, coffee...
Yes, I am proficient in the editing program that I use.
Thanks for the input. I wasn't thinking people would be interested for an everyday hunt (I couldn't afford that either), but possibly for a special hunt. Such as a kid's first hunt, first time and possibly only time hunting for a specific...
Hi everyone,
I am fairly new to photography (1.5 years of experience with DSLR cameras). I am now fully confident in my ability to use my camera well.
I have a passion for outdoor recreation (hunting/fishing) and I wanted to expand my photography business to include photo shoots for hunters...
Hi everyone,
I am planning my first DIY spot and stalk Black Bear hunt in Unit 1 in Idaho. I live in Lewiston, Idaho so it's a little drive for me to get up there to scout. I'm an experienced hunter but I haven't had an opportunity to hunt Black Bears before.
What are the current snow...
Hi Journeyman,
How old is the pack? How much does it weigh? It looks like the newer versions weigh ~8lbs. I don't have the 250 yet. I am working on selling some of my gear, but once I do I would be interested. I've got $200 right now.
How much would it cost to ship the pack? Also is that the...
Hi,
I am looking for a hunting pack. I am new to the back country hunting world but I have a lot of experience hunting whitetails in the Midwest and I shot my first whitetail this year in Idaho. I am looking for a used hunting pack that is large enough for multi-day hunts yet small enough for a...
New Backpack Hunter - Looking for pack under $250
Hi everyone,
I am new here but I have been reading through a bunch of forums and it seems that there are many knowledgeable hunters on Rokslide. I moved to Idaho last winter and quickly purchased an external frame pack (Alps Commander) for elk...
