Robby Denning grew up in a mule deer hunting family just outside the small town of Iona, Idaho. He started hunting mule deer in the late 1970s, missing only one season in 35 years. At the age of 25, he gave up the pursuit of all other big game animals to focus on taking the best mule deer bucks possible. He began hunting the West on a do-it-yourself budget, scouting and hunting mule deer for about 60 days each year. Robby loves the hunt as much as the kill - and the entire process from research to scouting to hunting to processing his own venison. He's killed four bucks over 200 inches in the last 15 seasons, mostly on easily obtained tags, and dozens of other bucks between 170" and 190". He owns and operates a public-land scouting service and a private-land outfitting business, and is co-owner of the online hunting site, Rokslide.com. Robby has scouted and hunted thousands of square miles of mule deer country across Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Nevada. To him, the weapon of choice is just a means to an end; he will hunt with bow, rifle, or muzzleloader - whatever it takes to create an opportunity to take a great mule deer. He also writes for several national magazines and publishes weekly on his blog at Rokslide.com, which garnered 2 million hits in its first 12 months. Robby believes all of creation is from God for man to manage and respect, and through which to know its Creator.
