Robby hosts today's hunting big mule deer episode with a few of his buck-huntin' friends, Travis Hobbs & Corey Dixon. Rumor has it that Travis broke his 2-year slump on big mule deer. They break down what it took and share a few things they've learned about hunting big mule deer that could help you.

See the score sheet at https://www.rokslide.com/category/podcast/





Then Corey and Robby give a run-down on hunting mid-October big mule deer.  While you can leave your kill-kit at home for many of these hunts, they can also turn on a dime if you have some big bucks pre-scouted...listen in for the whole hunt story.


They talk about the logistics of horse packing, picking campsites, keeping a big camp running, and if only seeing one nice buck in a week is worth it.

takeaways

Robby hosts the Rokcast today, covering all-things mid-season big buck tactics. From mid-October until the early rut in early November, a hunter usually experiences some the hardest days for finding big mule deer.  It could be the hunting pressure bucks have already felt, thick coats that keep them in the cover longer, or their solitary nature once the bachelor herds break up. No matter what it is, it can be a tough time to hunt.

Even with these factors working against a hunter, there are still some tactics that can work. Robby dives into the advantage that the brief window known as "leaf-off" gives a hunter. He also touches on still-hunting, moving in deer country, who gets first shot, and who gets to tag a wounded buck.  The episode can help you with mid-season big buck tactics, and possibly preserve a few friendships.

Robby hosts a huge episode on the the two-year chase for a big typical, a film drop with Matt Tillotson, and Still-Hunting with Braxton Hamilton. He also shares a metric he tracks to get a feel for how many big bucks are available vs the population of total bucks. He calls it the "shooter/bucks ratio" and it can be very telling. It might even keep you encouraged to keep hunting even when buck numbers seem low.

On top is the best but not always possible

It's been a while since we've heard from Ryan and Tanya Avery on the Rokcast. They join Robby talking about the season upon us, the arrival of Robby's long awaited Rokstock/Tikka/6UM rifle, and more random thoughts.



Since this episode recorded, Robby's put about 30 rounds through the new Rokstock topped with a Swarovski Z5 2-10X https://www.swarovskioptik.com/us/en/hunting/products/rifle-scopes/z5-i-plus/z5-plus/z5-plus-2-10x42-bt



Shooting the Sierra 115 grain DTAC NR in front of 64.5gr of N570, Robby chronographed the load from his 19-inch barrel at 3155fps (his 270 WSM was clocking a 140 grain Berger at 3249 from a 24-barrel for comparison.) The overall length of the new rifle is an inch shorter--including the Unknown Munitions Suppressor--compared to the 270 WSM. The Rokstock based rifle weighs in at 7lb 15oz, just two ounces more than the 270 WSM. Accuracy for two (3) shot groups at 200 & 300 yards averaged at just over 1MOA: 2.25" & 3.5" respectively.



Since Robby primarily shoots hash marks vs. dialing, he was particularly interested in the trajectory. Even with 100 fps decrease, the Z5 hashmarks lined up almost identically to the Z5 on his 270WSM.



-Center crosshair = 100/200 yards



-1st hashmark = 300 yards



-2nd hashmark = 400 yards



-3rd hashmark = 500 yards



-4th hashmark = 570 yards



The Z5 does have an elevation turret but Robby will need some time to learn it and report back.



For those interested, the 6UM is made from the 6.5 SAUM necked down to 6mm with the shoulder blown out to 40 degrees. This cartridge was primarily developed by Unknown Munitions in Post Falls, Idaho. Contact https://www.unknownmunitions.com/ for more information.



Read more about Robby's first step down from big magnums in his 2015 blog post "Goodbye 7mm Rem. Mag, Hello 270WSM" here https://www.rokslide.com/goodbye-7mm-rem-mag-hello-270-wsm/

Tipsy Tuesday #58 Scouting Mature Bucks with Brad Carter owner of Altitude Outdoors in Afton Wyoming. The love of Wyoming's high country Mule deer inspired Brad to venture deep into the mountains, inspiring a whole collection of light weight products. Scouting mature bucks in the preseason has enabled Brad to harvest older age class bucks nearly every year. Brad shares his scouting preparation and secrets in today's Tipsy Tuesday. We then are joined by Kyle Sandusky to take us though Howard's Total Vise Legacy Bow Press and Ultimate Bow Vise. Sam then shifts towards the other Rokslide.com gear reviews and recaps the latest Western news.
