Wow! talk about a great hunt to get some nice bucks! I'd be excited if going on that hunt. Even as an extra pair of eyes and a hand around camp, sounds like fun and a great place to be.
Haven't heard much from Nickman for awhile now. Been wondering how the crew of buds he was helping did?

My wife and I have the G3 tag. I have been waiting, hoping, praying for some weather and it looks like it is trying to get started. The forecast is calling for snow down to 7,500 feet. Good start anyway. It has been killing me waiting this late to go hunting, my friends all got back from Wyoming with lots of stories and all I can do is sit and listen. I have a contact in Independence that will be doing some pre scouting for me. I will call him today to check the snow levels. You can only make so many trips to the range. I will roll in the week before the season opens to start scouting, can't wait! Taking my wife to the range today for practice shooting with her new shooting stick.

new weather report says snow it going to be way north of G3!
still going to be tough! (nor-central Ca!)
Mass...you and your wife have tag's?
so one an hold out to last minute and eat the tag if it don't pan out!
beware to many trips to the range can condition you and put a not good twist into situational shooting!
good luck

Small report......
We got three days of snow on the Sierra, but today it is 85 degrees again, so I doubt many bucks will move off the Kern Plateau and out of the parks.
The winter range is as good as it has been for several years and there should be no problems for the deer that need to feed between the 4000' to 7000' range this winter.
We will need some colder weather to spur up the migration and the rut, but it is way warm for November right now.
The bottom could drop out of the thermometer on Thanksgiving and create a G3 hunt of quality proportion.....did that in '93 and '97 and up until Thanksgiving we were hunting quail and chuckar in T-shirts.
Pretty much have to wait and see. I haven't figgured out how to predict or influence Mother Nature.
I will keep you guys posted and will be looking forward to meeting all who head this way in December. PM me if you want to get the free tour. I want everyone to fill their tag and I will do all I can to help.
I have been hunting with different groups of friends almost full time since September 1st. Lots of days, I haven't felt real good, but I can feel bad in the woods or the desert as well as at home in bed.
Fortunately, I have many good friends who have gone out of their way to have me along. Been to New Mexico and Utah and still have a trip to Santa Rosa Island this year. It has been a GREAT season so far. I have even managed a few days affield with the Lab and the Brit, so life is GOOD!

G3 update....30 November.
WE got good snow last week and deer REALLY poured out of the high country on Friday.
Probably looked at 100 bucks in the 3x and 4x range. We call them "dead deer walkin'", as at least 15 of them won't make 10AM on opening day.
Nothing real special yet.
The damn weather is not cooperating, I have every window in the house open and I live at 4800'.
The snow is melting fast and we are still driving on roads that should have 2' of snow on them by this date.
The rut is in full swing and I doubt many deer will go back up too far, but it needs to turn cold soon to turn off the high country food supply.
We will just have to wait and see what happens.
Good luck to all of you with the tag.
