RE: Trail Camera Law Thanks for the info. Brownie

Trail Camera Law Does anyone know if NDOW has implemented a law pertaining to use of trail cameras. Heard rumors that they had, would like to know. Thanks Brownie

Mulebuck, you still alive? thought you quit the game! Brownie

Nice buck Charlie, maybe I'll draw a tag next year Brownie

Sounds like you are going to have to head for the Belmont Campground. Easy place to park a rig there, and lots of hunting access right out of the campground. Try the Silver Creek drainage to the west first, it will get you get you up pretty high on the south end of the Toquima's, Silver Pass...

Well Sage, I know which one you don't want, that's the White Mountain Tag. It's a brutal tag, even for the young guys. Those ram's live at 12,000 feet, and its a long ways up. As far as the other units you'll have to wait for someone else to reply, I haven't a clue. Thanks Brownie

Man this is gunna put me in a pickle. I hope they don't ban my Drone and my Thousand yard Rifle too. What's this hunting world coming to, am I gunna have to go back to my 30-30, no binos, or spotting scope,Trail camera and track those old bucks again? Brownie

+1 Joey, I'll go with the forty incher too!

Your spot on Homer, this is just another nail in the coffin to multiple use public land. Piece by piece " our" government is closing down public land, whether it be wilderness, road-less, national monument, or national park. Just to the north in Inyo and Mono counties the USFS is proposing...

I'll go with #9 on most impressive buck, and # 8 best field photo Brownie

+1 Joey, you got that right! Brownie

Thanks Smackdown, I don't know if founder knows about this or not, but thats B.S. we don't need any of the anti's. Thanks Brownie

Hi Inyo, I understand where your coming from , and you are right. This isn't a good time to stop any hunt. The gist of my post is that my personal preference is that we shouldn't have hunts during the rut. That is all. Yes the big problem we face in the hunting community is the well funded anti...

BOHNTR, I could go with a reduction in tags, say 15, that would be great. A local group, myself included, requested a reduction from two of the local biologists. One of them approached the regional director and was told no. The excuse being the buck to doe ratio didn't warrant a reduction. With...

Yea Manny, I read that article yesterday.Wonder how many elk and deer have been killed so far, you know it wont be long till the DFW has to cut the numbers on the tag quotas in the northern units. It makes me sick, we have to take this state back from the anti's. I haven't got a clue how, but it...

Hi Inyo hunter, I'm not against anyone who wants to put in for the Goodale hunt, that's thier choice . All I'm saying is, I personally have been against the late rut hunts from the start,including the J-12 hunt. Yes my wife drew the tag 4 or 5 years ago, she had max points, so she put in for...

Sure they do Homer, it's just that the pretty bucks don't live long enough to reach there potential. I'm just not in favor of the late hunts, these deer have already been hunted in the general season, and they made it through. Let them have the breeding season without all the B.S. We don't have...

How about 145! Thanks Brownie

Yes it is, 38 years of overshooting the best bucks on the winter range has taken it's toll. Maybe the DFW should do a study on the effects to the "gene pool" on culling the best bucks out of the herd, boy! wouldn't that be a concept. Brownie

What, no banter or giberish about the Goodale hunt this year? Maybe nobody drew a tag? It opened today, someone please post some pics. Brownie

What Pressure, running from the lions, or the coyotes, Cali does'nt have the hunting pressure it did years ago. All these deer have now is the pressure of all the predators. Come on guys, We should have ten times as many deer as we have now, wake up.Bleedin hearts have screwed us hunters...

Congratulations on your new job. Sounds like your going to make a difference. Hope to meet you soon.You know us hunters are having a tough time keeping afloat in this California environment, but guys like you and organizations like CDA are our only hope. Good luck on you new endeavor. Thanks...

+1 Joey, couldn't have said it better!C-M I'm happy for you dad! Thanks Brownie P.S. That Russell Cordoza is lookin good

Seems like there was a 34" 7x7 killed just a few years ago with a archery tag. Still a pretty good tag, but you have to deal with private property, and all the nutbuts running their dog! But I know Mulebuck will be tolerant, he always is!!! Brownie

Hey no good tags I sent u a PM Brownie

Never say never, as we speak ,there was a bill to overturn the lead ban in Cali. Don't know that it will go anywhere but we can't just quit. These two appointments might realy help the sporstmen in this state. Jester we have to be loud and clear to the Commission, and thr DFW. Thanks Brownie

I remember Kevin Montieth, he was working for the California Fish and Game, before it was the California Fish and Wildlife. He was a college kid doing his thesis, he was working on the same kind of project in the Eastern Sierra about 8 or 10 years ago. He followed the does with collars back into...

Yea, HWH, I hear those guys are good. Might be able to bribe em, start with the chalkers, then work your way into the green ones and then they'll spill the beans on the hotspots. I like your way of thinking. But, don't try the beer, stick with the sheds, otherwise it could get ugly! Brownie

Yea Strip, it's all about the dollars! Hey mulebuck, you can always turn that tag back,but you might have to wait ten years before you get another one!Are you going to hire a guide? There's some good one's in the Reno area, but there not cheap! Brownie

Elmer, I think your right, I remember when one of my kids would be 12 by the hunt, it wasn't good enough, he had to be twelve by the time he applied. Thanks Brownie

Hey guys, like it or not we're all hunters here. We shouldn't be fighting and acting like a bunch of little kids. This post was started about CDA'S response to the DFW'S proposed new deer plan, that if implemented will, overtime, severely impact your ability to get a deer tag. Like them or not...

Wouldn't it be nice to identify the real problem for our low deer numbers? Brownie

Hey Mallards, it's easy to see you've got it in for CDA, somewhere you feel like you got cheated out of your hunting spot, thats not my problem. The problem is the DFW's new deer plan. If you want to keep hunting in this state, you need to band together with fellow hunters and conservation...

Smackdown, Thanks! you are absolutely right on. We as hunters in this state need to stand together,and preferably behind a reputable conservation organization like CDA.The old adage "divide and conquer" holds true.Yes the DFW hasn't been our friend as of late, but I think this new deer plan has...

Absolutely Sage, I asked the guy who authered this plan, Stuart Itoga, what is going to stop all the hunters from converging on one zone and mucking it out. He said,"well we don't really know right now how it's going to work". I'm tellin you this guy is not even a biologist, he has some...

My wife drew the tag with three points, but I think she was just lucky. Four points will get you a tag on most of the East Side. Brownie

Well deerdon # 2 is pure B.S. for the Northern and east side of the state. In 1976 when the DFG started there first "deer program" there were 6000 deer in the Round Valley Herd, as of today there are between 1000-1400 deer. Nothing has changed in the winter range! Most of the deer in the unit...

237 Brownie

Even though your lookin from the back, he looks like a solid thirty to me. Brownie

The DFG started the first deer plan and zone system in 1976. If you look at the proposed zone map for the new deer plan, it looks the same.There were ten units to start with in 76'. The department at that time said we need to manage the deer on a herd to herd basis. After a few years they did...
