HI all, I have always wanted to purchase a pair of high end binoculars but could not stomach the price tag. I now have the opportunity to purchase a pair of two year old 8.5 x42 Swarovski EL's in excellent condition from a coworker for 1,500. Thats a savings between 1,100 - 1,400 depending...

I drew X12 this year and its my first premium tag. I have only hunted D6 and D7 so I am pretty excited. My buddy and I have been looking at maps and talking to anyone with info trying to find a good spot to start scouting when we go in early August. I thought I would ask here to see if anyone...

I thought I would save these pics til it got slow around here. This buck was taken in a D zone by a local in my town this season. It was being stored in my wife's uncles locker. Luckily I got to see it before it went to the taxidermist. Dont have any field photos or measurements but a pretty...

I just returned a pair of Meindl Ibex boots because they leaked the first time I really put them to the test. I loved the boot and felt they were well made and durable just were not waterproof. So anyways I now have 200.00 to spend on another pair of boots. I have been looking on Cabelas...

I dont post much but I am always on here checking the california forum. I love reading stories and seeing success pics of any game taken in my home state. So I thought I would post the story and pics of me and my buddies hunt from this past year. Sorry but the pics are not of great quality...

I am so excited, I have been trying to post these pics for a while but have not been able to get a hold of the hunter to ask permission. Finally talked to him and he gave the ok. This buck was shot in a general unit in 2007. I dont remember the exact score but the hunter told me it grossed...

It could not have been any better in terms of numbers just in color. I checked out a new spot this monday and judging by the amount of horns I found I am definitely the first person ever to shed hunt there. Sometimes I would find four horns in the distance through my binoculars at the same time...

I went out today to try out my new spotting scope, I found a shed in the first minute looking through it. It was quite a hike to go up and get it and then I ended up shed hunting instead of using my new scope. I found 7 horns in about an hour but only one brown and it was a spike. The only...

Today my hunting partner and I went to check out some of the wintering herd that migrated from Yosemite. We hunt the area during the regular season because there are a few local bucks that dont migrate back to the park in the spring. Well today we were checking out a new area we have not...

I have never used dry ice and really dont know to much about it. I was hoping some of you guys could give me some info, like when to use it, how to use it and if it last longer then regular ice. The reason I am asking is me and three of my buddies are going to be camping out about 5 miles from...

Cabelas sells this sharpener for 30.00 but when I look at the picture it looks like a a regular sharpening stone. I am cheap and I dont want to spend the money for the brand name sharpener. So I was wondering if any of you who use the montec have found a way to sharpen them without having to...

Went out last Friday and this Monday, overall I found 15 sheds but only three were brown, at least I know that they are finally starting to fall. First find Monday morning, this would be the best and only brown. same shed, notice the double eyeguard A few more as they lay pictures...

I took some venison steaks out of the freezer and put them into the fridge to defrost and then forgot about them. This Monday when I remembered them it had already been a week since they had been in the fridge. I took them out and looked them over and they didnt look green or smell so I put...

I was wondering if I could get some advice. This Friday night I bought my first bow, a Hoyt lazertec. It is one of their more affordable bows, but I think for a first bow it will do just fine, plus I just couldnt afford the Trycon. But here is my qestion. I may have the opportunity to buy a...

I have a question for you guys. This is something I fantasize about while I am sitting at work behind my computer and get caught up in one of my frequent hunting day dreams. Do you guys think that in any given season throughout mule deer country there is at least one world record buck roaming...

My wife and I went on our first shed hunt this week and then our second and third, were hooked. My wife is beating me so far, we went out thursday and she found four to my two, not to mention that two of them are four points, which are the only four points we have found. I am posting pics of...

I am looking to buy my first bow for this upcoming hunting season. Do any of you on here live in the central valley and know of a place in Fresno or somewhere in that area that sells bows and preferably has a pro shop? I live in Mariposa and Fresno is the closest city, but I would be willing to...

Turkey season started today in California, and I was able to get my first spring gobbler. Im addicted, watching that tom come into my call was just awesome. I have heard that wild turkey is a little more dry than domesitc, so I was wondering if any of you guys have any special methods of...

Went on my first turkey hunt this Satruday and and hour later was able to havest this Jake. It was one exciting hour, I cant wait till spring when its really supposed to be good.

I am new here and as my username indicates am also new to hunting. I am not sure why it has taken me so long to find this sport, for I have always been a country boy and this seems to be something most country boys do, maybe because my family doesn't hunt and it was never presented as an option...
