D8 the hidden gem of California

Not sure how many have watched to bucks in full rut get with it. I have seen it a few times and they dont play around once they make up their mind.

55=bucks around 140 and under. Lots of deer, fun hunt but trophy size is hurting

Here’s your sign

Good Luck - same boat next year

Every time I look at housing prices it depresses me. Doesn’t matter what Western State. You can’t get much for less than 400-500 thousand. Not sure how residents can make it there, especially young families starting out.

There is really only one state that would should be thinking about when it comes to big game. Probably not even close but you better be able to stand the weather. Now if upland and fishing is also high on the list you might be able to add another one or two states into the mix. I really dont...

I have my kids wear an orange hat even though they dont have to. Helps me figure out where they are

tore both peaks about 15 years apart. One felt like a rope unwinding and the other felt like something turned into jelly. Did not do surgery for either one. Tons of bruising. Bench press might be the dumbest lift of all of them. Anyways still have pain in my shoulders now doing pushups and pull...

Well I have been to Idaho a few times and went home empty handed. Could have shot a few small ones but decided to pass. Heck as we were breaking down camp a small fork was standing there watching us. My son kept asking me to shoot it. I told him my tag my decision. He had already filled his with...

Not saying everyone needs a tag but it would be nice to hunt with my dad or even one of my sons. We have gone on many family hunts with only a tag or two. But not letting NR apply as a group is just dumb

I always find it funny how people blame NR for the conditions of the wildlife. Its the game departments that are the problem not NRs. IF you took all 30,000 NR tags and placed them back in the resident pool you would still have 30,000 tags and people hunting wildlife. Yes they would be resident...

I would like a general draw. They can keep it random but it would give me a chance to put in as a family and hopefully get to hunt every few years. As it is now pretty hard to plan a family hunt in Idaho as a NR.

Regular hopefully luck is on my side

would not burn max for 38 or 39. Other units even if its another year or 2 out

It all sucks my friend. Being a non resident is tough living now. Really makes me kick my younger self for not taking advantage of these tags 20 years ago. Oh well, at least the last 5 years I have been able to enjoy some hunts with the dad and boys. We seem to find away to get something on the...

Just remember everything will require more points this year

No help but my 1100 has seen 30 years of use and not sure how years my grandpa had it before me Take five minutes to wipe it down before a hunt and I am good to go

Heck of a buck.

How well can you hike? I have a couple spots that I am sure will hold a good buck or two but you will have to earn it. Not many great bucks left in there. In fact not many good bucks left in there that are easy to get to

He had one of the best capes I have seen on. Deer. Beautiful black double patch. I saved it for a friend.

Not sure really how to start this. The last few months have been pretty rough for everyone and this would be the only big hunt we were going to be able to do. We had to cancel my youngest sons Utah Elk hunt and my daughters New Mexico deer hunt but I was hoping that things would work out and we...

Story tomorrow Thanks

Lots of fun

congrats

Besides twin sisters there really is no need to for quad. Any truck can get around pretty easy

Camp at toboose creek camp ground. It should not be crowded. It’s off the main road enough so you should not have much dust. It’s the norther ln most part of the unit. Just by waking you won’t have to worry about seeing many people. Stay on the roads and there will be people. If you have a atv...

Everything seems to be on a downward trend when it comes to mule deer. Problem is that it’s probably not going to get any better anytime soon. Out look for mule deer is bleak, which sucks because I would rather hunt deer than any other a animal. But I am sure my son will find something that...

I keep looking at the maps trying to figure out the plan of attack to use the roads but also where we can get off the beaten path and into something most a driving by or won’t climb a ridge or two away from the roads. Not a huge fan of road hunting but it does have its place in cover large...

Well both of my boys did not get a tag last year in the second draw so playing the system will not always work. Also I agree that if they draw a tag then their points should be set back to whatever it would take in the regular draw. Nevada probably has the best system for returned tags. With NR...

Let’s take a look from a nonresident youth view. My son drew a really good deer tag which he is very excited about. Now the same tag in the regular draw would be a tag he might never be able to hunt with point creep and if he did ever get enough points it would be a once in a lifetime hunt. Now...

Thanks - hopefully everything works out

I have read over lots of posts that I could find on 55 3rd season, so I thought I would reach out and see if anyone is willing to share a little information. My son was lucky enough to draw a tag on the 2nd draw and this is a hunt that more than likely he will never have the pts to draw again...

Hunted 75 last year. Great time, lots of medium low 70 goats. Not much at the top end that we could fine. Wish we would have done the trip a little different and added some fishing in.

Hunted it 7-8 years ago during the extreme drought California was in and it was rough turning up a buck that took that many points to draw. I scouted roughly 6 days before the hunt and covered most of the unit. The year I hunted it we had no snow which meant hunting it on foot and gaining as...

My youngest son also has a tag for this hunt. We did it a couple years ago with my oldest and he got an elk. So hopefully we can turn up some elk in the same areas. Just depends on how much pressure they get from bow hunters and if the weather takes a turn. Either way we have 3-4 areas that we...

My youngest son drew the Utah Youth Elk tag. We have hunted this tag before with my oldest and know what we are up against but when he hunted it it was youth only without the archery. Wondering how hard the archery guys are getting with it late into the season. We plan on backpacking in so...

Have they killed a deer yet, what type of hunt are they looking to have. What part of the state do you live in. My kids have have tried for J12 and never got they tag in the mean time that have each killed deer in other units so waiting on j12 was not hard. Now if they have not killed a deer I...
