Wow what a bull congrats!!!!

Not to be a debbie downer and friends have this area but... the biologist wanted a curtailment of tags from X6-X8 because the winter kill was so bad. Wasn't approved. I usually hunt X7's and she said bad year to draw. Went a different route. We just did a pronghorn hunt there and saw exactly 0...

Congrats what a stud! My Cali hunt starts on the 2nd haven't found anything like your buck

Lassen pronghorn and D3-5 for my wife and I. She was under max and leader so a random draw I'd guess. Last year she drew alternate #1 GI elk and got the tag.

I guess if you are tight on funds $500 plus the tag might be a problem. For me it's worth a gamble. Spent that on a one day dry hog hunt last November. I booked for the first time and if a good experience, which I expect from reviews, I will have more filled spots for Mellissa next year. Call...

Drawing most sheep hunts in California is just short of a miracle. For my tag it was 1200-1 odds but I was the one. What are the Tule bull odds 250+-1 in most units? Antelope is better but not much and I have been in the game for more than 30 years. I am uncertain how NR figures in but wishing...

This ^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I purchased lifetime a couple years back expecting an earlier out of state move but still wanting to duck hunt and apply for my favorite X zone. A few years putting in or drawing and things even out quickly however a refund changes the math. Hoping to draw out elk...

Thanks I will check them out!

Long time since I have hunted in Colorado but active in the point game. I have 21 NR pronghorn points and 24 for elk. Looking for an outfitted/guided hunt hunt for an opportunity at good males in both species without mortgaging the house. Rifle antelope , elk muzzle or rifle. Last minute and...

Hammer's are much different than the other mono's I have tried. Steve got me to run the 6.5 110 over H4350. Much easier to find a load for than past experiences with other copper bullets. My first group was tighter than what my best group with the other brand was after much trial and error. For...

Another vote for Terry Anderson, San Gorgonio Wilderness Outfitters. If I could hunt sheep in California again that'd be my first call. I hunted with him in 2008. Quite impressed with him and his crew, appears some of the same guys are still with him.

Hope my story doesn't get too long here... I went through this exact issue about 15 years ago with a few other challenges thrown in. First off it was two rifles, one for my wife who is left handed and another for our pre-teen son. They both completed their hunter's ed and planned on big game...

Thank you guys for posting on this topic! It saved me $64. I had forgotten all about the previous years license provision and yes I did no go through the regulations like one should. Good luck with the draws! nugentfan

Good to see Joey is still setting the hook! Miss his posts. Hello and thanks for the help many years ago! nugentfan

Thanks for the pic Elk nuts. Another good looking deer from up there. Wondered what it looked like, his phone pic was too small for my old eyes! They sure were fat on top of the mountain. He sure killed a dandy in Utah when forwarded that I thought that was his Cali deer. And you are correct by...
