On Today’s Rokcast episode, Robby joins Dustin “The King of Energy Drinks” Wittwer of the Finding Backcountry podcast.

Dustin is passionate about helping mule deer and is willing to consider all sides of the issues.  Although they don’t always agree, they each learn from these discussions and are better stewards of our mule deer resource.

Today, they’re discussing the changes that the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is proposing for equipment restrictions, creating mule deer study units, and more.

Utah is on the forefront of trying to bring a balance to the wants of the mule deer hunting public, from the family who’s happy with any deer on the game pole to the most selective big buck hunters.

It can be a difficult and complicated process but everyone who is interested in helping mule deer should participate.

The public, both Utah residents and non-residents, can comment on these proposals on the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources website on the public comments webpage here

https://wildlife.utah.gov/feedback.html

You can address your comments to any of the 5 Utah Regions or directly to the Utah Wildlife board.

So be a good deer hunter by keeping an open mind, listening to today’s episode, and giving Utah your feedback before the Utah Wildlife Board votes on the proposals on Tuesday November 28th.

Travis and Robby are back with what is probably their final mule deer hunt wrap of the year.  They talk big bucks, mule deer rut timing, migration, hunting high and hunting low, 30” two-points, and how much attitude determines the outcome of a hunt. They also debate the topics of eating chicken guts and wearing ear plugs.

Also for fun, jump over to Rokslide’s Instagram page and look at the Reel dated 11/9/23.  That is the buck Robby passed from today’s episode that Robby and Travis debate on the score. Was it a big buck? Was Robby smart to pass, or should he have shot?  Chime in on the comments section there.

They also touch on gear that made this hunt:

Safirflex 15-man tent here

Outdoorsmans Glassing System here

https://outdoorsmans.com/pages/stability

“Five years from now, you’ll be the same person you are now except for the people you meet and the books you read”—Tremendous Charlie Jones

Here’s your chance to read a great book. Today’s guest is David Knight, co-author of “Hunting in Today’s Wild West:Hunting Mule Deer and All the Other Game of the Mountain West.”

Robby hosts his friend of 27 years, David Knight. They first meet in 1996 when David’s father, Mike, had bought him an Idaho Deer Tag for his High School Graduation present.  Robby spent a half a day with them and their friendship was born.

David recently released his first book, “Hunting in Today's Wild West”

 The book is written by today’s guest, his father, and his son—three generations of hunters hunting across the West for multiple species with all 3 weapon types

It’s a face-paced read with over 50 short stories of big game hunts from mule deer, to elk, to pronghorn, to bear, and more

Some of Robby’s favorite stories were of course the 180” Idaho buck, the 30” stag buck taken at the last seconds of light on the last day on the only 10 acres in the unit David could hunt the story tilted “The Hardest Hunt” when the author tagged the only buck left in the unit after the migration.

The “Guide Stories” by his dad Mike are great and will thoroughly entertain.  The reader will meet the guy who shot a ground squirrel at 1000+ yards and the pro archer hitting Solo cups at 80 yards, yet both hunters blow all their close-range shots on big game.

Book is available in full-color in print and also in Kindle, available on Amazon here

You can discuss this book here

Today's Tipsy Tuesday has Mike Nielson from SKRE Extreme Mountain Gear with the biggest announcement in company history and as if that isn't enough, he goes on to share his tips on taking trophy Mule deer. Afterwards Gary Schroder from OnX gives us the insider scoop for OnX's newest features. Sam then shifts the talk towards the other Rokslide.com gear reviews [https://www.rokslide.com/category/gear/] and recaps the latest western news.
