  • Rokslide has lost its soul

    Everything about Rokslide is geared toward selling UM/US stuff. It’s not even a community anymore. If you’re not on board with UM/US then get out loser!

  • Best hunting podcast out there!

    I found the Rokcast about a year ago, the content is amazing and I have learned a lot from listening. The only thing I would like is more episodes about Oregon deer hunting.

  • Good podcast

    Please hire a sound engineer. Robbie sounds like he is talking through a balled up sock and he’s sitting across the room from his microphone. Other than that, the hunting content is very informative. I wish Robbie would stick to exclusively talking about that subject, because when he veers off course, I start wondering why I subscribe.

  • Use to be good

    Use to cover all kinds of hunting topics and species. Now it’s just mule deer 98% of the time. And Robby Denning reading a book to you like you’re a child. Totally worthless now.

  • Genuine

    Having had the opportunity to meet and shoot with Robbie, he is as genuine in person as he seems on the podcast. Great show, great people, great information, great platform in Rokslide.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What the Top 10% of Hunters Do Differently with Kelvin Eldridge
Q: How do you think about managing the Orange Army?
Eldridge sometimes waits through opening morning and observes hunter positions, then uses map study and knowledge of terrain and habitat to find less-pressured openings and anticipate where animals will move.
What the Top 10% of Hunters Do Differently with Kelvin Eldridge
Q: What do you think is separating the top 10% of hunters, besides time in the field?
Eldridge points to mental fortitude, persistence, skill, and the ability to keep adapting. He says a clear plan with backup areas helps hunters stay focused when conditions or expectations change.
Why Hunting Boots Matter More Than Your Rifle
Q: Is there any validity to some of these old time rumors, like you want to get them wet and wear them wet to wear them dry or put oil them up before you start?
Francone advises against wetting modern boots and walking them dry. He recommends conditioning the leather and applying suitable protectant or waterproofing before heading into the field.
Why Hunting Boots Matter More Than Your Rifle
Q: With hunting season creeping up and you're going to get new boots, what's the rule of thumb you would say for break in period?
Francone recommends buying boots well ahead of a trip and getting miles on them before departure. Two weeks of regular wear can help identify hotspots and prepare the feet and boots.
Rifle Elk Hunting 201: Finding Bulls Everyone Else Misses with Cody Rich
Q: How much are you paying attention to sign when you're elk hunting?
Rich treats sign as valuable evidence that elk are using an area, even when they are not visible. Fresh snow makes tracks especially useful because it reveals movement and concentrations across a broad area.
