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...

Congrats to your son elknuts. Far better than my first. Mine is a good eater, had steaks tonight, sure his is equal and even better! Hunted today, did ok, we all shot bad so could have had quite a few more.....that island blind slayed em.

Jeez easymoney mine even had a pincher back on the 3 side to boot. I didn't see much for long tines, most of the forkies were dinky. The rancher has a much better insight to the area because he is there but that certainly runs against what I saw where we hunted. I started in 1974 and hunted...

B I sit next to George with an open seat between his pop's( the 4x5 beast killer)spot and me. Really I take care of dad he is an awesome dude. A best friend and a great guy. I take care of him every chance I get, like another dad or better. Plus hell his dog likes me best and I don't have to...

Nice job easymoney! We hunted the same hill. Saw your truck up on the "hill". My wife couldn't seal the deal on your buck opening Monday due to fog issues. Wish she could have hammered mine Sunday cause I could make him out there at the fog line. She is still very bummed about it plus wanted to...

Congrats to the "Lucky" old man! Couldn't get my picture up either. Sage to my rescue again. +1 on getting the young ones in the woods!

Just got home from scouting. Dry and dusty to say the least. Access isn't what it once was either. Even the county roads have awful sections. Went up from Verdi(had to go to Cabela's!) and 10 mph was too fast on Henness pass road. Two fire trucks were parked where the pavement ended no wonder...

Sweet we'll be there...which campground? Seriously did they up the quota this year for the zone? DFG mess up online posting? Seems like there are a bunch of MMer's who have drawn. My wife and I drew with 4 points , my longest friend drew with his dad and father-in-law with 5. We were at about 8...

X7-b for the wife and me.....well my longest friend,his dad and father in law pulled it as well as a separate group. We used to hunt this area every year from 1974 to 1992 then only 3 times in the last 20 years. Special place for me. No other special hunts here in Cali. I did draw an above tree...

Thanks for the info. I hunted bighorn with Terry in 2008, best hunt ever. He is very knowledgeable about the animals, range and all things bighorn. Always hoping my wife would draw a tag so I could tag along on another San Gorgonio guided hunt but look's like another chance at a California...

Let me know if my email got to you. Had problems sending. nugentfan

Thanks Brian! Am out of town for the weekend but will try to figure the picture thing out when I return and if not I'll gladly take your help, nugentfan

Thanks Joey! I'm in Fallon visiting my dad this weekend, the Father's Day deal. Actually going to a black powder cannon shoot for the rest of the day. Should be a blast literally! Have a great weekend, Gene

Congrats on the lucky draw! I had that hunt in 2008. Too bad they are once in a lifetime, unless you can afford the auction tags. Sheep fever will bite you and you'll want to go every year! When it hit me how special of an opportunity it is I made the call to Terry Anderson. What a great...

No luck in my house again. Reminded me to check Oregon though and pulled a muzzle bull tag!

Spent my time since the last post and worked the point calculator on MM. Looks like pronghorn rifle top draw units 2, 3, 201 and 301. Deer 142 late, 103 late, 61 4th, 21 3rd and 10 4th. Elk 2 muzzle, 201 muzzle, 2 early rifle, 10 early rifle and 201 early rifle. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the quick help/suggestions! Didn't expect so much this quickly. Seems like you have all agreed that deer and elk would require help and I appreciate your input. Antelope I'm not sure what to think because of the negativity I've gotten from the biologists. The west guy says well our...

Hello fellow hunters! Looking for some big time help here. It's been too many years since I've hunted in Colorado but have been gathering non resident preference points, elk 14, deer 13 and pronghorn 12, in my absence. What I'd like is to find a good chance for a trophy animal of each of these...
