Its X9A. Nice green area with plenty of steep hills to climb. Saddleback lake is about 2 miles east of the Yosemite boundary line.

I've been in the area several times installing temp. power for people who lost theirs homes. I would say the damage was a tad bit more than 10 acres. The fire started @ the Talbet Ranch in North Round valley & burnt its way North up to Lower Rock creek road. It went by Paradise & only burnt 1...

I guess I can stop scouting A16/X9A. Thought I had enough points in a group to pull A16, but the requirements went higher this year. So I'll be heading south to A17 this year.

Just got a tip from a buddy. Go to Reagan's Sporting Goods web site (Facebook) & he has some of the J12 & Gooddell buck photos there.

A quiet year for sure. I didn't know anyone who pulled a G3 or J12 tag this year. J12 is 15 mins. from where I live & G3 is another 30 mins. I have not seen a single picture, or heard a single story of the hunts. I do know that 1 of the Governor tag holders came in for a few days to scout, but...

It's got to be like Africa hot! The only thing that could help is a few rain showers. I'm @ 8,000 ft. elev. & it's almost 90 degrees.

Got my A-16 tag again this year. I'll be hunting my brother (The points guy) in my backyard.

Here's another Question from the booklet. (Page #68) If a junior hunter applies for a premium deer hunt on a 1st tag, and a Apprentice hunt on a 2nd tag drawing, how are the tag choices processed in the drawing? Which application has a higher priority?? The answer - "Neither deer tag has a...

Well boys, looks like I am talking out of my arse! (Sorry). The regs have changed since my son was putting in for the J-12 hunt 3 years ago. According to the 2012 Ca. booklet, The Apprentice Deer tags are on a 50% Split system. 50% of the tag quota shall be awarded through a Preference Point...

If I had the choice between the 2 hunts, I would go with the G-39. G-3 is the best as far as seeing more quality deer in a condensed area for reasons Nickman mentioned. But the Sherwin herd coming out the the Sierra's would not be a bad option. Even if we didn't get the snow fall early, I would...

The Junior hunts are considered a "speical" hunt. So it will be a seperate draw, using the standard draw system with no points involved. In reality your Grandson could pull a J-12 tag every year until he is 16 years old. Use his 1st deer tag app. to get his premium hunt or points. Of course, he...

Theox, If you are traveling down from Utah on US 395, you can check for wildlife in the Owens Valley area. In regards to the Tehachapi area, as mentioned before, most of the entire area is private property & not very good for shed hunting. Except for Tejon Ranch, which is just south of...

- You're so worthless, I should trade ya for a horse, & shoot the horse. - Wouldn't give ya a nickel for her, & wouldn't take a million for one just like her. - He's got more rolls than a bakery. - He's got more chins than a chineese phone book. - I'm hungry as a ##### wolf with 9 suckin pups. -...

Maybe sign a new punt return guy, just in case the niners make it to the title game again this year. Just sayin.

So now, the Manning fall out begins: Will Alex Smith come back & demand for the same type of cash the 49ers were willing to offer Payton? Or will he sign a "No Love" clause & take off for the Dolphins? If he goes, will Harbaugh & the Bay welcome Tebow with open arms? Or is the 2nd year UNR guy...
