    Why am I always tired?

    There are some obvious reasons. I've got 5 kids under 8. I'm a farrier. I crossfit at 6 AM most days. And I understand that those are generally good reasons for a person to be tired. However, I need a better answer. I'm 36 years old. I eat healthy and balanced meals. I usually get 7-8...

    Nudie magazine day!

    It's that time of year. The Colorado big game catalog should be arriving in mailboxes soon. So every day when I get home from work I run out and check. I've known for months already what I'll be applying for (mostly preference points), but there's something magical about having that brochure in...

    The year of "cast and blast"

    As I've been doing my research this application season, I've found myself planning more "cast and blast" trips with friends than ever before. It feels like older I get, the more excited I get about a trip like that with friends, and the less I care about spending the whole trip finding the...

    Miles on your old 7.3 diesel?

    I've jumped into the 7.3 diesel world twice in the last 8 months. A 2003 F350 with 208K miles. And then, just last week, a 2003 Ford Excursion with 128K miles. The word on the streets is that it's not out of the ordinary to be able to get a half a million miles on a 7.3 that stays taken care...

    Killed my Wyoming buck

    Well, I guess I found the only deer in my unit that made it through last winter in Wyoming. So of course I shot him. In all seriousness, I've never seen so many deer as I did in the 2 days I hunted. Every corner we turned we were finding deer. I was in a unit not known for big deer, but...

    Trading my half ton for something with higher towing capacity

    I've got a 2016 Chevy 1500, 80k miles, 5.3. It runs great, and is well kept. I'm exploring the idea of trading it for something with higher towing capacity. 3/4 ton, or 1 ton. However, I do not want to pay any more money. So, obviously I will need to take on a truck that is older and...

    Casper wyoming mule deer

    I got lucky in the random draw with 4 points, and will be hunting deer in Natrona County this October. (Is naming a county frowned upon? If so, I'll edit) I've asked a couple of my questions on other threads without answer, so I figured I'd make a specific thread. Before applying, I...

    (Nevada) Applying multiple years on one license?

    I know there is at least one, maybe two other states where if you time it correctly you can apply for tags 2 years in a row on one hunting license. This is because the hunting license only needs to be valid on the last day of the application period, not actually during the hunting season...

    Who is the King of Rokslide?

    I was reading a different thread, and it was pretty much a useless thread until some rokslide heroes came and saved it with worthwhile contributions of memes and such. It got me thinking about the true definition of a rokslide hero, and if we could only pick one, who would be the King of...

    Where are my penny pinchers? Budget time

    My wife and I are updating our budget, which means we're also looking back at all the ways we sucked at following our budget over the last year🤣 We try really hard to be frugal people, while still enjoying ourselves. Looking back over the last year, the areas where we tend to get a bit...

    Baby squirrels everywhere

    This morning I was out cleaning my garage. I heard a noise out by my trash can and went to check it out. There was a baby squirrel that was not scared of me at all. I put some welding gloves on, and picked it up and put it back over by a tree. It came right back to me..... I called an...

    Why no talk about Colorado sheep and goat draw?

    Pretty sure the draw is tomorrow, but everyone is talking about Montana and New Mexico! Who's anticipating Colorado sheep and goat results tomorrow? Anybody recall what time of day results usually come out? I applied with 3+6 for both I think?

    Stretching program?

    I've been paying for a monthly subscription to "Pliability" (formerly known as ROMWOD). Are there any similar stretching routines/programs that are free on YouTube instead?

    Today is a gift

    It's Saturday. It's going to be a beautiful day in Colorado. I remind my family regularly that "Today is a gift!". What are you doing today/this weekend to enjoy the day and not let a day go by wasted?

    I am Lil-Rokslider

    I'd like to reintroduce myself. As the artist formerly known as Jsoronen234, I am now identifying as "Lil-Rokslider". It's a bit of a peaceful protest against Rokslide "post count creep".

    Arizona game and fish website not working?

    Anyone else having issues trying to buy licenses and apply for the big game draw on the Arizona game and fish website? I've tried on my phone and my desktop computer. I get almost finished up and the website says it's not working.

    Rugged terrain/ backcountry experience in the Gila

    I know that some of the most popular units in the Gila are considered "easy" terrain relative to a lot of other western elk hunting. I hunt Colorado every year, and seek out a rugged backcountry experience as much as I seek out elk opportunity. So I'm curious, of all the Gila and surrounding...

    Deviated septum/sinus surgery recovery

    I'm scheduled for surgery to straighten out a deviated septum and clean up my sinuses at the end of this month. It sounds like the "cleaning up my sinuses" part of the surgery is the more invasive part of the surgery, and requires a bit more recovery time than just a septum surgery would...

    Taking your kids hunting

    Introducing my kids to hunting has been one of the most fulfilling things I've done in my hunting lifetime. Also one of the most challenging😂. There have been many hunts that have been cut short because the kids couldn't hang, and many hunts where we stood no chance at any success because the...
