    New Mexico Oryx guide

    I was lucky enough to draw an oryx tag this year. It’s in unit 28 on the McGregor range. I’m looking for anyone who’s had this tag and is willing to share any info on it. Is this a hunt I can successfully DIY, or should I hire a guide. I’m leaning towards hiring a guide seeing that it a once in...

    WTT Stone Glacier Sky Talus pack

    Looking to trade my stone glacier pack. I bought it here on Rokslide and took it on one elk hunt. It’s a great pack, just doesn’t fit my back shape, and it’s way too big for me.

    First elk hunt

    Well, I set out a year ago to start hunting elk. I’ve researched, bought gear, researched, applied for tags, researched, didn’t draw a tag, researched some more, then decided to do an OTC Colorado hunt. I’ve poured over OnX and google earth over the last few months picking out spots to hunt. I...

    Hunting weather

    What app or internet site do y’all use to monitor the weather where you plan to hunt? I’ve been looking at different sites, but the best I can do is look at the weather forecast for the nearest town. But that doesn’t give me any idea of what’s happening in the higher elevation wilderness areas.

    Tire chains

    First off, I’m a flat lander from Texas. I have no use for tire chains here at home, so I’m ignorant to this situation. I’m heading up to southwest Colorado to hunt elk during the 3rd rifle season. Dates are November 2-10. I’ll be truck camping between 7,000 and 8,000 feet of elevation. I have a...

    Paper maps for back up

    I’m heading up to Colorado for an elk hunt the first week of November. I’ve got OnX on my phone and will download all the maps I need for offline use. I also will have the OnX chip in my GPS for redundancy. I have a baseplate orienteering compass and would like to buy a waterproof paper map as a...

    WTB Canvas wall tent

    I’m looking to purchase a canvas wall tent. I’m thinking I need a 12x14 as most the time it will only be me and one other person hunting. However, I have a large family and who knows if the kids will get interested in hunting with me, so I would consider any size up to a 16x20. Let me know what...

    Colorado OTC Unit 75

    I had a hunt lined up in New Mexico on private land that fell through, so I’m moving on to plan B, which is an OTC hunt in Colorado. I’ll be driving in from Texas, so I’m interested in the southwestern OTC units, specifically 75. I’ve been looking at maps and have a few spots picked out that I...

    North Dakota Bighorn Draw

    Anyone know when this typically happens? The website says late April. I’m getting impatient to get my rejection notice. After all they only give out 3 tags to God knows how many applicants. Lol.

    Pack horse gear

    I’ve got a couple of ranch horses I’m wanting to take hunting this fall. I assume the one that I ride while hunting, I can just use my saddle, with saddle bags and a rifle scabbard. But I need to buy a pack saddle and all the gear to start training one to be a pack horse this summer. Can y’all...

    Colorado OTC research help

    As the New Mexico draw passed and I was yet again unsuccessful, it appears more and more likely that I won’t draw a tag this year. I’m still waiting on Utah and Nevada, plus a couple of sheep draws, so there’s still a chance. But I feel like I need to start seriously considering other options. I...

    Garmin/OnX question

    I bought the OnX elite app for my phone/computer so I would have access to maps of all the states. Now I purchased a Garmin Montana GPS, and I’d like to use the onX maps on that. The only way I can see going about that is to buy all of the state chips for $120 a piece. Am I missing something...
