    Any Bears Yet?

    Anyone else been out bear hunting this year? I managed to spot this guy and set up an ambush for him in some willows along the river. Plan worked pretty well, almost a little too well as I shot him at 12 yards with the Mathews. He crashed back into the willows he came from and went about 30...

    Spring Thunder

    Draw results for the Special Draw turkey hunts (Opening Weekend/Archery-Only) dropped this morning. Anyone get lucky? I nabbed Spenceville Wildlife Area opening day.

    Black Gold Photochromatic Shell

    Any Black Gold sight owners out there ever experience a lack of “tinting” or color changing on the photochromatic shell of their sights? I noticed a few days ago that mine hasn’t been changing to that deep purple in direct sunlight like it did originally. Any ideas what could cause this to...

    Fresh Post

    Here’s a picture of the buck I took on September 19th. Not the biggest buck in the state but a nice representative for SoCal. Figured that a new deer pic is always fun to come across. Anyone else have any success they want to share?

    Los Padres National Forest

    With turkey season winding to an end and most guys having bagged at least one bird (hopefully); I thought I’d see if anyone faired well hunting Los Padres NF. Due to this COVID pandemic, I’ve been on a restricted travel radius (military order) and haven’t been able to get up North (located in...

    Thoughts on Elk City A Tag

    Putting out some feelers out about the thoughts on elk density and quality of the Elk City A tag. Honestly just wanting to start some conversation about Unit 15 hunt quality. Obviously not asking for you guys to divulge your spots or anything of that nature. Who has hunted the zone and...

    Public Land Turkey Hunting

    How’s it going Gents? This will be my first year chasing gobblers here in California and I’m not sure how popular turkey hunting is here in the state but I wanted to see what everyone’s opinion was on the quality of the hunting and possibly some good state land to get out and chase some Toms...

    Taxidermy Recommendations

    So I drew an elk tag of a lifetime (FHL Tule elk) and have been scouting working to stack the odds in my favor to connect on a nice bull. Have quite a few spots lined up and have seen number of good bulls and a few great ones. Should I be successful I am definitely getting it mounted as it will...

    California Meat Donation Programs

    With the seasons steadily approaching I wanted to figure out if there are meat donation programs in CA. Back home we had programs such as Help Us Stop Hunger (HUSH) in which hunters could drop of their game at designated processors and it could be anonymously donated to those who could use the...

    How is everyone doing? Hope you got the tag you were holding out for because I know I did! California Tule. October 05-14. With that being said I am fairly new to hunting Tules and I know there rutting activity varies from the other elk species and even furthermore, I know the rut can vary...

    FHL 449 Draw

    Lucked out and drew for Hunter Liggett archery either-sex Tule elk. Still can't believe it if I'm being honest. Curious to see if I could find the other 6 archers that were drawn on here (I noticed quite a few people applied for FHL on other threads). By all means if anyone else has some...
