LAST EDITED ON Jul-13-16 AT 12:50PM (MST)[p]From what we saw 4 years ago, it was very dry and the "bucks" were not out in the open much. I did get a nice 4x4 but the really big buck I saw scouting was never to be seen again. One of the guys I met up there had a nice buck on his trailer(3x3)...

What Sage and 6x7 said... I burned my points as a party to take my buddy and his son. I scored on a nice 4x4. There are loads of roads and it gets lots of attention. I would look on the east slope of Boca ridge, the ridge to the north of stampede Reservoir, or around Floristan if you want to see...

Hunted the rifle tag a few years back, saw bucks every day. We had the best campsite in our very full campground. Lots of loud partiers and drunks that left loads of trash. Yeah, you will see loads of dinks and does down by the reservoirs early and late but we saw most of the quality bucks out...

"Lakes around me haven't come up a whole lot." Yep they haven't, the lake fill totals give a much better picture of what we have not gotten so far. San Antonio is at 4% of full. Nacimiento is at 28% Santa Margarita is at 13% Whale Rock is at 35.76% and Lopez is at 29% And this is all rain run...

Still $4.49 here in my little town on the central coast... We live in the coastal strip between LA and SF, along the 101 and 5 corridor, near the refineries. The highest cost of living in CA... Stop Global Whining

LAST EDITED ON Nov-06-15 AT 11:52AM (MST)[p]I too will be heading out Jan 1 for some desert deer... Great photos bohntr, I have followed your posts because you are an inspiration and your info. Stop Global Whining

I also had heard that the deer are going to be lower this year and there are more bear than in past. Water could be an issue according to local biologist. I drew an A12 bow tag and will be headed up to hunt the second half of season. Stop Global Whining

LAST EDITED ON Jun-20-15 AT 06:37AM (MST)[p]I will try and PM you. Stop Global Whining

Me too depending on the numbers of other hunters and water availability. There have been some fires in the area in the past, which could be very good. Stop Global Whining

Not sure at this stage, never hunted this zone before. Looks like water or lack of might be an issue. Good luck... Stop Global Whining

LAST EDITED ON Jun-08-15 AT 05:28PM (MST)[p]Long time Cali hunter and long time Cali elk draw applicant. I have put in for a La Panza elk tag for over 30 years and never have been drawn. Before and after the points system we now have... I understand that there are only 6 tags for this hunt, but...

I too think the herds are growing and would like to see more tags made available. In our county(the La Panza herd)the number of elk have increased significantly and have moved from their points of origin (like FHL and Camp Roberts)onto adjoining private ranches. Most complain about the damage to...

Sorry to hear about your wife. There should be mandatory CPR taught in all schools. CPR as well as swimming should be taught to our kids from the earliest age. There is absolutely no reason why we as a nation should not be prepared. Changes in the CPR protocol have changed and now for first...

Very nice buck and love the chocolate antlers... Great Euro mount. top Global Whining

LAST EDITED ON Oct-09-14 AT 07:33PM (MST)[p]Great advice from all... I will be hunting the late season OTC mule deer bow hunt. It looks to be a fairly good year because of all the monsoon rains. But, the overall deer numbers are down and that could be a problem... Stop Global Whining

OMG... It's true they are out there.... Stop Global Whining

Very nice buck and love the chocolate antlers... Stop Global Whining

If you are going for the late hunt, wait until just before the new year and then buy the lic and tag for Jan 2014. The tag will be good for three state wide periods, but the Jan period is only for Jan 1 - Jan 31st. The tag will still be good for the other two periods. I will be doing the same...

I have to agree with this post by hazmat. I have spent lots of money on GPS units and topo maps for them, and they are sub par compared to trimble. It used to be very cheap when it was a Cabelas based program, now it is stand alone and well worth it. I have a smart phone but also an older...

Thank your buddy for his service... Yeah it used to be a trophy zone but like all zones in CA and many other western states it has gone down hill. That being said my successful hunt there last year brought me to some important info, the best bucks we saw were off limits, we saw bucks everyday...

Spot on... Over management for a dollar, but poor common sense has led us down this road. Stop Global Whining

The Rim fire is huge and growing each day. IMHO, it is not the fire but the road closures, the campground closures and the fire equipment or personnel that is the biggest threat to hunters. I have never drawn the Anderson Flat tag G37 tag. It will be all about access and parking. The DFG & the...

I would not be worried unless you hold a late season migration tag. The area burned is in the Yosemite herd migration route and the area of the Anderson flat Tag. IMHO, this will be bad because not of the fire itself but the road closures, campground closures and the fire fighting equipment in...

This is the truest barometer of the liberal party yet. Cry foul over a sanctioned self defense yet ignore a heinous violent crime committed in the name of boredom. The news is full every day with headlines of outrageous behavior by B on B crimes yet it is never noted by our politicians or...

Barry Soteroe ran on ending all wars the US was engaged in and closing GITMO within the first year. How's that going for ya barry? The most inexperienced leader this nation ever saw and the most na?ve, is struggling with whether to engage Congress (as per the Constitution) or go it alone...

Latest fire info is on inciweb. It does not look good for those wanting to hunt this area. The forest circus has a long history of shutting everything down, roads, camps, trailheads sometimes permanently. They look to protect there resources, logging, mining and tourism in that order. The push...

Yep, the fire could screw things up very badly. The USFS has a history of closing everything down, camps, trails, parking spots and roads sometimes for good. Be careful out there and very mindful of where you want to hunt and what might be closed... Check on inciweb for the latest info. Stop...

Good info from everyone. I have hunted the Beulah for a long time and IMHO, you have to get well away from the roads during rifle season, even in the wilderness as the ATVs run all over. The areas to the east and south of Unity toward Juntura can be good. Also if you can get permission to hunt...

IMHO, if I drew this tag, this year, I would head up toward hell for sure, Jordan hot springs or blackrock area from the west side. The kern river will have water for sure and the roads access takes you in, then hunt the canyons dropping down to the river. Or I would hike up from sage flats and...

IMHO, not a great choice of X tags. Very steep, very dry and few roads with access. Best to go in near Kennedy meadows or Rockhouse basin and hunt along the Kern river. All the OHV access is well mapped. Or hike up from 395 from the east side. Buck numbers are usually low, best very late when...

Tragic... These young people are true heroes and they did not even need to go to the middle east to be put in harms way. As a firefighter the danger is always in my mind every time I go out on a call. Stop Global Whining

LAST EDITED ON Apr-19-13 AT 10:41AM (MST)[p]I have hunted this zone for decades and had average success depending on year, rain fall/snow fall and numbers of other hunters. I stopped hunting in OR when they doubled the costs for tags and lic. fees. These costs are not warranted because of the...

Congrats for taking this step. Yes, we have adopted and it was a local open adoption and our child is now a college student. We opted to go locally because of the costs and logistics involved with foreign adoptions. We have friends who adopted Bosnian, Russian and Asian children. Thanks for...

Despite his orientation and the cause of death, I liked Huell and his programs. Brought a bit of the "little known facts anbout a well known subject" to our great state of CA. He most likely died of AIDS and nothing will be made mention in the So Cal liberal press, because he was one of...
