    Newbie in north Idaho/Wa

    Welcome to Rokslide! Pull up a spot next to the campfire and enjoy. Lots of great folks on here. Glad to hear you are a hunter as well. FYI , don't get offended or think its you, if folks are not clamoring to be your new hunting buddy. Generally a "Hunting Partner" is a special...

    One of the 10 new Colorado wolves is dead.

    Didn't they spend really stupid money to buy those wolves and haul them into Colorado? Not a very good return on investment.

    Enclosed trailer build/condensation

    We have a small aluminum frame 12X7 cargo trailer camper conversion that me and my son built. Every once in a while we will get some some minor condensation on metal surfaces, screw heads as some else mentioned. The key is ventilation. As some else pointed out, we exhale quite a bit of moisture...

    Idaho Fish & Game In-person Tag Sales Strategy

    My opinion is for NR hunters only. I am sure I will get roasted for this as getting tags is a very personal, passionate process. Everyone has their own ideas and unique situations that might vary from year to year. I do not believe it is possible to make a system that works for everyone. The...

    What do you do for a living?

    30 yr Navy career, almost no chances to hunt, being stationed overseas for most of my time. Finally completely retired and got back into hunting about 2 yrs ago. I have a lot to learn, as we could only hunt small game where I grew up back in the midwest. Even though I am an older hunter I am...

    Idaho Fish & Game In-person Tag Sales Strategy

    First off I want to say as Non Resident and Disabled Vet I feel extremally privileged to be able to hunt in another state. Thanks for the opportunity Idaho. Just as a note on my experiences, I am a NR who is lucky to be tech savy and close enough to drive to ID, I have purchased my NR tags...

    2024 Idaho General Draw! 10 days until the MADNESS!

    I got to the Panhandle region office about 5:45 AM as I live in Spokane WA. There were folks that been camping out there for 2 days. I was #94 standing in the pre-dawn line. Spent maybe 5 hrs standing outside in the elements, snowing a bit today as well. I was done by about 10:30 AM. I...

    Residency, Oregon vs Washington

    Neither WA or OR are fit places to live. WA in particular seems to be trying to shut down hunting and fishing. Currently living in WA. We are looking at WY, ID and MT in that order due to tax advantages. However, any of those states would be better than either WA or OR.

    Classifieds

    FWIW, like a previous poster mentioned above, I like the idea of having a few more 4-sale categories, so I can quickly look for what I am interested in.

    20 MOA or 0 MOA Picatinny scope base

    OK, thanks much and I really appreciate the information. I am going back to "study hall" and review my class notes yet again to make sure I understand. It still seems like a bit of wizardry to me. I had planned on getting the CDS dial cut for for the load I am using, 143 gn ELDX Hunter, which...

    20 MOA or 0 MOA Picatinny scope base

    I know this is an old post but hoping someone might respond. New to mid to long range shooting experience here. My expected range is zero to 500 yds at this point. I have a Ruger American Preditor in 6.5 CM. I purchased a Leupold VX Freedom 4X12X40 CDX scope and mounted it using the factory...
