    Salt Lake City

    As mentioned the Salt Lake valley is crowded. There are great places in Utah, some pretty close to SLC in my opinion. I live 35 minutes from downtown and have an acre of land but my community is growing a lot. Since you posted this in the elk section I will give my opinion on elk hunting here...

    FNG from Alaska

    Thank you for your service! welcome to Rokslide. I have been blessed by a lot of guidance here. Those of us in the lower 48 are jealous of all the opportunities you have as an Alaska resident. Take advantage and be grateful for what you have while its there. I heard of the Northern Hunter...

    Antlerless Hunting - Cows w/ calves, Does w/ fawns...

    The virtue signaling here is interesting. Personally I try not to shoot a cow with a calf but if it comes to putting meat in the freezer or not I will take care of my own. Easy for me to say when I am hunting Dec/Jan when the little ones aren't really dependent on mama. I also think the...

    Camofire Warehouse Sale

    I will head over after work today. I am contemplating taking my wife or not. On one hand she will keep me in check. On the other hand I don't want to miss out on great deals.

    Old dudes and old photos.

    I am so glad I found this thread today. I am sure I have some photos to add. Mostly of my dad, uncles and grandpas. Just like the above poster I have a bamboo fly rod that belonged to my grandpa. My folks sent all their high school days (back in the 70s) trapping bobcats in the Ely, NV area. I...

    45” wide Utah non-typical

    That makes sense since the story has been asked for so many times and never given. In my opinion it may as well be owned. Honestly I am glad there are opportunities for everyone to hunt. Blue collar, white collar. Those with more time and those with less. If I had tons of money maybe I would...

    Congratulations on an absolute monster buck! The double mount is pretty incredible. Are we going to get the story?

    Western Hunt Expo ---> who is going?

    I will be there. Definitely looking forward to it. I will stop by a few of the suppressor booths. I have been looking for a good rangefinder. I will stop by Leica, Maven and Vortex for sure. As usual throw my name in the pot for half a dozen tags. Kid in a candy store.

    Gut shot doe... is the meat ok?

    I have a question that fits this thread. Yesterday morning I was on a cow elk hunt and stalked in on a lone cow. She seemed to be struggling to get up earlier in the morning. After I shot her she had 4 beds within 15 yards and she crawled from one to another as her chest hair was worn down...

    Stop apologizing

    I have only ever passed on one buck and it was 2 years ago. Small spike a mile off the road. I cant tell you how happy I was to fill my tag later on a spike as well. I would have kicked my self all year if I had an opportunity to put meat on the table, passed and ended up with tag soup. My 5...

    Sound of Freedom

    I don't believe this movie was made to simply be "enjoyed". You don't turn your brain off and watch explosions or fake superheroes. It is far easier to not watch and remain naïve to a serious global problem.

    Sound of Freedom

    I agree, I can count on one hand the times I have been to the theater in a decade. This however is a cause worth supporting. I have a lot of respect for Tim Ballard.

    Utah 2023 Results

    My dad, brother and good family friend all drew LE elk. When it rains it pours. One hunt is in Oct and the other two in Nov. It will be a busy year. Nothing for my wife and I but I am okay with that with the time off I will already use.
