Be happy to talk to you about our experience last year. Pm me

If I am back/high country I don't carry as likely to bone out or quarter. On this hunt its relatively flat and likely near a dirt road so it was likely to clean and hang the entire carcass to skin and cool off.

1000-mile Buck pre-hunt post #3 Kudos to my wife for dealing with my obsession for 4 months leading up to the hunt. I work away from home during the week so every waking moment I spent preparing, researching spending money (lots of it) during this time. On weekends, I would work on my jeep...

Preface – The 1000-mile Buck As my post earlier this year on the forum states, I finally drew a California tag of a lifetime, not in the area I had been applying for, for many years. Growing up in Tehachapi and around ranches, I was afforded the awesome opportunity (some might say luck) to hunt...

*****************************NOTICE*************************** I am telling my story; my experience and I am not claiming to be an expert of the area or an expert hunter. I will say I had a damn great time, I had an opportunity at a true Modoc Monster and couldn't get it done (spoiler alert, I...

Recap of the 1000-mile buck coming soon....

Weather looking favorable with cold temps, rain and maybe some snow.. Anyone know of any success on the opener?

Looks to be some decent weather moving, hoping it doesn't change, looking forward to my trip only 7 days away... hope guys on the opener do well.

i hope it was a good one.... as always, I am a dollar short and a day late to the good hunts

Ya I have been watching the weather, it looks tough. I was up there in September, found a couple gut piles from archery, I am sure they had it rough too. It looks like the weather is breaking next week finally and hoping it continues, I'll be up the 28th through the closer for muzzy hunt.

I guess none?

I am hunting M9 this year curious how the X2 tag holders are doing.

Thanks all for responding. I got some good info and met a really nice fellow hunter who might join me if his schedule permits. Season approaching (not fast enough)

Thanks Deerdon - Have gotten similar feedback so I have backed off my expectations (hopes) some. Praying for weather and most have said the migration starts when season opens but bigger bucks late in the season. Are there any areas that allow tresspass fees or is it only guided hunts? thanks

Thanks for reaching out, I will look that up, I plan to hunt the last 9 days of the season.

hi sourkraut - I didn't see any message come through...

Thats great, was he able to connect on a nice buck?

Thanks for the response, I have not hunted the area in the past as most of my hunting has been central CA and south.

Rovana Has a large population of Buck's during this hunt, but they really are everywhere. If you have time, wait it out, you'll always be able to harvest the caliber of bucks you see the first day. Below is a buck my nephew took last year on the second day. We didn't have the whole season to...

Thanks for the advise, been years since I have been on this site, I am sure things have changed. Done
