    How many days a year do you hunt?

    I just read through the how many tags is too many tags thread and it got me thinking about how much time different people dedicate to hunting. Some context for myself. After college, before a family I had a goal of at least 100 days per year hunting with fishing additional. After a wife...

    WTS Nikon Fieldscope ED III 20x60

    Selling for what I have in it, plus what I figure will cover shipping $450 TYD obo There are what looks like scuff marks from wiping the lens on the front of the objective from the previous owner. I tried to capture photos of them the best I could. They are not visible to my untrained eye when...

    WTS Rock Chucker Supreme Master Reloading Kit

    Brand New in the box. I won it at a DU dinner last fall. I always thought it would be a great hobby but after making it almost a year without opening the box its clear between work, kids, hunting, and fishing I don't have time for a new hobby. Friend of mine already does all of my custom load...

    Sold Razor HD 11-33x50 Angled Spotting Scope

    Bought as refurbished. Ran a few side-by-side comparisons between spotters without ever leaving my porch. This little scope punches way above its size or price but for my style of hunting, I'll stick with 15s and a full-size spotter. I kept it for a few years and never even brought it on a hunt...

    Help me with my layering on top

    I have a 40% off Sitka Code and it’s Kuiu sale weekend. I’m a sucker for a deal but probably don’t need anything. Is there anything in my upper body layering system I should seriously consider adding Versatility is the most important and I am an absolute sissy when it comes to temps. I don’t...

    2023 Wyoming Elk Draw Results

    Starting the thread for the year so as people draw later this week I'll be constantly reminded how jealous and petty I am (assuming I don't draw). If I do actually draw I most definitely will not brag about it to those that didn't get a tag..... Anyway, lets get the conversation going. Who...

    Hunting or fishing themed Tattoo

    My wife had a mini mid life crisis yesterday and went to a local tattoo convention and got one on a whim. Now she’s on me to go back with her tomorrow. Always been a bit curious about doing a hunting themed type tattoo. Maybe a lab holding a sprig? Anyone have any outdoor themed tattoos they...

    Worth Adding a Pop-up?

    I have a Pintler on the older GL frame. Camofire has Pop Ups for under $200 today. Is it worth adding a Pop Up to the fold for early season when I'm not carrying a lot of layers? Looking at space savings more so than weight savings. Has anyone used a Pop up as their personal item on a flight...

    Legit Hunting Personalities

    I can hate with the best of them. I’m all for a good insta hunter bashing thread but I never see anything on the other side. I’m curious if anyone has first or second hand examples of where ‘famous’ hunters are legit killers or badass woodsmen? I have one example of an overrated person first...

    D3 Closing weekend elevation

    Let’s just get this out of the way. I’m for sure looking for honey holes from anyone willing to give them Since most of you stingy SOBs won’t do that for me, even though it says Well Known under my name I’ll ask it this way. At what elevation would you concentrate most of your efforts for...

    Copper River Outfitters?

    I’m looking at booking a moose or moose bear combo for October ‘23 or ‘24. I have heard only good things about the Lancasters and the trip to BC seems very reasonably priced. High shot opportunity outweighs trophy quality for me as it’s likely this is a once in a life chance at a moose. Who...

    Lack of love for waterfowlers

    Tons of guys on Rokslide killing more big critters than CWD. Where are all the guys who’s true passion is shooting ducks or geese? Where are you located? What species do you spend the most time targeting? Hunting private or are you a refuge rat? Ag land or natural? Since this is a gear site...

Gun and scope for 2k total (assume a V4 or VX5 so...

    Sig BDX Rangefinder shoot to range

    Lots of review threads about the BDX and I know it will display the MOA of Mil correction but will the 1600 BDX also give me the option of displaying the shoot to range like the G7? I’d prefer to leave the CDS on my rifle rather than switch back to the standard turret. Also, does anyone know...
