    Arizona leading the way, auction tags to be history

    And CA auctions a bunch! To be fair, tule elk and desert bighorn’s have probably benefited some from the money raised…but mule, deer and Pronghorn populations continue to slide.

    Good question. No way of knowing for sure. What I can say is that his physical appearance looked a bit different that the bucks I have typically seen in the unit over the years. The Inyo mule deer subspecies that are most prevalent seem to be of a smaller (shorter coupled) size and have...

    The bulldozer isn’t too much of a climb…but once you cross back over the ridge and start up Sardine Canyon it gets real. Have always wanted to ascend up to Sardine Lake then run the ridge to Dragon Peak before returning via Parker Lakes and down the South Fork of Oak Cr. I’m sure that’s a...

    Looking for ideas....

    A good friend of mine is our DFW biologist for the area. Last year he told me that there was a proposal to do exactly what you explained...add a limited number of "late season" tags for D-6 outside of the the already established Anderson Flat hunt designed to provide access to "park deer" not...

    when When you say, "focus on HOW to increase the opportunities without changing tag numbers." I really dont understand how that is possible....other than by killing off a bunch of you hunter bretheran...and I know you dont mean that! The reality is that anything that could be done is to...

    The only thing you can really do to increase "opportunity" for those seeking to hunt big game species in California is to increase tag numbers....and the only way you are ever going to see that happen is if big game populations increase significantly. So....how do you accomplish that...

    We killed that buck back in 2018. He was killed the same day that he was spotted. Found him mid-morning in his bed...worked in closer and then shot him we he finally stood up very late in the afternoon. This was the second weekend of the season.

    You say that now… But wait until you have a friend that draws two or three great tags in a short period of time… and you go for 25 years without ever drawing. It won’t look that appealing to you then!

    My buck was spotted in around 10 AM in his bed. There was a group of 6 to 8 does bedded down and to the left of him not visible in the photo posted. I would assume he had been rutting them earlier that morning or the previous night. This is very much the same as what we experienced several...
