    Apprentice Hunts

    Tehama in a second! Those are not Blacktail, ,they are mule/Bt hybrid. The deer in west part of Lassen Park winter in TWA. I’ve seen some great deer come out in youth hunts, as well as G1. G1 is super weather dependent, while in Nov, they are setting up shop to winter (and rutting). And yes...

    Turkeys Starting to Play

    Well 2023 is a wrap. Wife finished out with her biggest bird of the year. 21.5 lbs, 10.5 “ beard, an awesome 1 1/2” spurs. Normally we’d head to WA to chase Merriam’s, but knee surgery will keep us low key for a month. Have fun this last week…..Tom’s are cruising solo around noon now...

    Turkeys Starting to Play

    Well with a knee surgery looming, and so far a lack of getting another gobbler into bow range, I was feeling pressure mounting and chose to grab the gun while taking my wife out. Good call. Got these two to come in and allow us to get a double (something we’ve only done a few times). Hers had a...

    Turkeys Starting to Play

    Wife didn’t let a rainy night dissuade her……told me to “put on the coffee” , so I took her out. Good call I’d say as she got this multi-bearded Tom Friday am.

    Turkeys Starting to Play

    With this wet weather, and the flooding along the river a couple weeks back, turkeys have been a bit elusive, but hit up the foothills and they seemed pretty fired up with the nice weather this week. Are you folks seeing them a little behind this spring? Opening day the group I hunted was 6...

    Your biggest buck while road hunting

    A mile from camp in NF. Had headed back to camp early after day in snowstorm. 2-day storm had just broke ~20 minutes before coming across him. Saw his twin 3 years later 1 1/2 mile in from where I got this one…. for all of 3 seconds at 80 yds (not along NF road this time)……no shot opportunity...

    License fee increase for nonresidents introduced in House

    In my case, I have 9 elk pts, and applied for a unit that took 8 in special last year (couple more in regular), so in planning process last year, thought I was sitting pretty good. If a couple people with 10ish were thinking of hunting in next year or 2 (maybe going regular) chose to go this...

    License fee increase for nonresidents introduced in House

    The write up could be more clear on special vs regular, and those ....aren't those numbers the correct ones for the "on top of regular tag price" when you apply special? Elk $692 + the new $1258 = $1950. Antelope $326 + $874 = $1200 and Deer $374 + 826 = $1200. Have a feeling my plans on...
