    Idaho Unit 39-bouncing some ideas off anybody willing to read

    Been hunting 39 for 40 years. Shanks mare , that's the only way you are going to get away from the crowd. Backpack in, find a pocket or a hole high up where only you can go...and own it. Big Queen's and Little Queen's have popular trails...you know what that means. Ditto the entire Atlanta...

    New Book: Hunting Big Mule Deer: The Stories

    Sucked in again with a fresh supply of big mule deer stories. Wife has already slapped the book out of my hands at least twice. Lawn getting long. Dog giving me the evil eye...is he ever gonna put that book down and throw me that tennis ball? Still chasing them at 75...in the woods, on the...

    New Book! with Robby Denning

    Always looking forward to shift a ton of books on my sagging bookshelf to make room for one more tome on mule deer hunting. Your RokCast pod was as entertaining as any I’ve heard...your a natural storyteller. Hope it translates well to the page.

    Mule Deer Heart Break with Robby Denning

    Looks like I’m the only rokslider to venture a comment on this episode of RokCast. Robby Denning tells a great story. Never gets ahead of himself, fills his narrative with details, yet never makes it all laborious to listen to. Peppers his story with a few pearls of hard-won wisdom, keeps...

    Need a #legend Update

    You want to chase big mule deer all your life, you better have a well developed sense of humor. Most of the time that’s about all you’ll have for your efforts.

    Need a #legend Update

    From August thru September I’ve seen three shooter bucks... an estimated 180” or better. All three had Robby’s book tucked into their armpits. That’s Robby’s real problem. Mine, too.

    How can I become a better hunter?

    Almost laughed...I’ve been chasing deer and elk for better than 60 years, and I still suck. Still, I’ve had my share of success, peppered, I’ll admit, with a healthy dose of dumb luck. I look back and all I see is the time I spent trying to eliminate the dumb luck part. Impossible. Now, every...

    Idaho unit 39 Early velvet bucks

    Have hunted unit 39 for what seems like an eternity, both with rifle and camera. Have drawn that early tag twice in the last 20 years... took one decent 170 class buck in velvet, but have taken several bigger in October. PM me and I’ll let you know if your on the right track.

    Scouting Mulies 2021...

    I'm drifting in the same boat as you, Colorado. Getting way too long in the tooth, but am cursed with a lifelong habit of humping the high country early on, always searching for big mulies. Just like to see them, I guess. Usually am out after 4th of July. My birthday is July 22nd, and two...

    Are the books worth it?

    Books are indispensable. When you are in the field, don't become a victim of what you have read.

    Hunting muleys in October vs November?

    If you aren't sitting on a shooter buck several days before the opener in October, your going to be toast on opening day. No matter where you are, hunting pressure is gonna be your number one enemy from day one on. After that, it's pray for snow, then Halloween time, pre-rut, and cross your...

    Widow Makers at Camp

    Go in early, maybe during the Summer...make it a project. Pack in a small chain saw and enough gas to get the job done. Find your space. Cut. Don't set your tent up first. Good luck.

    Backcountry Etiquette

    Last year, I took a buddy into a drainage that I have been hunting for almost 40 years. Second week of September, archery elk. My usual parking spot was filled with two trucks with campers and trailers, a monster Cabela's Alaknak, 4 four-wheelers, and 6 people. No problem. I stopped and we...

    Idaho Sawtooth Unit 33, 34, 35, 36 Elk Quality

    In 40 years of chasing elk in the Sawtooth zone, either with a stick and string or with a camera, the biggest bull I've ever seen in my preferred honeyholes would probably have taped out at no better than 320" - 330". Took a buddy into one of my spots last year and we called in a handful of...

    Elk Hunting Gear - what can’t you live without?

    The usual stuff mentioned by those above, plus 5 ways to make a fire. Never head out into the woods without that. Saved my butt more than once. I also carry a light-weight tarp.

    Mountain Mule Deer Hunt Video!

    There is no ghost more difficult to lay than the ghost of a wounded animal, lost because of a poor shot that should never have been taken. In 60 years of hunting mule deer, I have two ghosts that continue to haunt me to this day. Both times I was brimming with an overconfidence that bordered...
