Welcome to Rokslide’s blog—the new place to connect with the DIY hunting world.
So what is a blog, really? A quick Google search nails it:
“A blog is a web site on which an individual or group of users record opinions, information, etc. on a regular basis.”
Simple as that, I guess.
The Rokslide staff has put months of thought and planning into this project. While I’m a mule deer hunter at heart and this may set the tone of the blog, it will be more than just mule deer. Rokslide has attracted many of the top hunters, manufacturers, and writers in the DIY hunting world. This blog is going to connect you with them and the latest techniques, gear, and hot topics out there, helping you to be a better hunter by this fall!
However, if you’re a hard-core buck hunter and want to join those who’ve spent decades pursuing one of North America’s greatest trophies, this will be the place for you. I’ll share never before published details and stories on all of my big mule deer, which at last count is approaching twenty. But more than just me, we will connect with others who we consider are at the top of their mule-deer game, expanding your learning opportunities. I guarantee if you’ll stick around, you will become a better buck hunter and a better hunter all-around.
So why a blog hosted by Robby Denning?
The good Lord planted my family right here in good old Southeast Idaho over hundred years ago; I come from a rich heritage of mule deer country and hunters. My grandpa, father, and three uncles were all buck hunters and I started accompanying them when I was 8 years old.
Later, as a young man, I became inspired by the great deer hunters and writers of yesteryear. That spark grew into a wildfire and at age 25, I gave up the pursuit of all other species to hunt big mule deer. It was a decision I’ll never regret and has allowed me to explore the world of mule deer to a depth only a few modern hunters have.
I’ve taken four bucks over 200”, two over 220”, and a dozen or more good bucks in the 170-190” class, all on DIY opportunities I created myself while raising a family. If you’ve got a big mule deer on your life’s “To-Do” list, I can help you accomplish that goal.
I’ve also operated a successful scouting service for 17 years, helping hundreds of other hunters find good places to hunt in Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and Nevada; In addition, I’ve ran a private land fair-chase outfitting operation since 2001. These two businesses have helped me further understand what hunters must do to be successful. I will bring this wealth of experience and more to the Rok Blog.
We’ve created a blog format that allows you to participate in a comments section with myself and other readers. This will become a community of hunters learning from hunters.
So join in, as we teach, learn, and inspire— after all, isn’t that what Rokslide’s about?

Looking forward to following your bog Robby !
Hey Robby can’t wait to read and learn from you and who ever else joins in. In regards gossiping and criticisms to become a better person we have to learn from our mistakes and that of others. We all have done things at time or another we just have to remember that what goes around comes back around. Some laws may seem dumb but if we follow them at least we have the personal satisfaction of knowing we did it the right way. I try to teach my boys that just because nobody is watching doesn’t mean that you can do it. Always be true to yourself and others and everything will Turn out for the best. Just my thoughts.
Looking forward to having you on, Coryell
Hey Robby,
Is there anything out there you would recommend even if its more money, that has greater magnification than the nice vortex binoculars you wrote about but is still a binocular and can be used for glassing?
Hi Matthew, I assume you meant to post this in the Vortex 15×56 bino thread? I’ll answer here and on that blog post located here:
http://www.rokslide.com/follow-the-live-hunts-win-the-vortex-15×56-binocular
Vortex also makes a 20X bino in their Kaibab Line. I haven’t used them, but based on the good experience I’m having with these Vultures, I’d feel good about recommending them. Remember though, that by going to 20x, you’re losing a little bit of light-gathering ability as they did not increase the objective lens size along with the magnification. Here is their link: http://www.vortexoptics.com/category/kaibab_binoculars
You asked about using them for glassing? I think you meant without a tripod? No, you won’t want to use these without a tripod. Too much magnification for that.
