Potsie,

That wasn't an elk it was a 6 x 6 blacktail! When I saw him he was standing in the middle of the road on Patick's Point Point road heading towards the hiking trial on the south side of...

Nice pics Moose, it's a shame that we can't hunt the rut in CA. According to DFG "...the rut is a delicate and vital portion of the deers life cycle..." Bla, bla, bla.

Hey Potsie,

I was just up in your neck of the woods in Trinidad, and there is a huge 6x6 living Patrick's Point State Park. I will try my very best to get a picture of him nexttime I am there, he...

Picked this guy up on the last day of the D5 season east of Sheep Ranch, best part was my 10 year old son was with me for the first time. He's hooked, and he just got his first deer rifle for...

I did my part, but was discouraged to see that we needed so many more signatures.

Nice buck, like you I got mine at the end of the season. Weather is what made the difference, as soon as it cooled off the deer became active. Until that point, nothing. Again, congrats on a nice...

49234922Sorry it took so long to post this pic, but my camera ended up in my buddies truck and he didn"t it until last weekend. I got this guy on the last day of the season in D5, east of Sheep Ranch.

I found a small bachelor herd in Jackson Canyon (D5), north of Wheeler Lake. I passed up a little 2x3 buck because I was alone and had no way of getting that deer out of the canyon by myself. Oh...

Kevin,

I have an acquaintance who is high up in DF&G, he is a good guy, pro hunter. He will be the first one to tell you that the anti hunting lobbyist are close to completing their objective,...

I know how you feel Cowboy, I am only 38 but my wife and I are buying a place in MT and will leave as soon as the youngest graduates from high school. This state is too far gone to right itself.

The houndsman I booked my hunt with sold his dogs when the bill was signed, which is why he refunded my money. I wonder how many guys will do the same?

Nada. It wasn't a total loss, I gained access to private property down in Sheep Ranch that holds resident deer and bears. Hopefully I will be able to get my son his first deer this year.

Yup that's the same Lake Alpine. We didn't go more than two miles north of HWY 4 and covered everything from the camp ground to Cape Horn. I was going to hunt around Arnold and White Pines this week,...

Not much longer now, and they will have completed their objective. I had already booked my hunt For late November. The houndsman was nice enough to give me back all of my deposit.

Nice buck, what elevation were you at?

Still haven't seen any deer, lots of fresh tracks and droppings. I think the deer have gone nocturnal. I am heading back in on Tuesday for a few days, maybe my luck will change. If not, I leave for...

It does help, thanks. If I don't see anything on Summit Level Ridge I will move up to Iron Mountain Ridge and hunt that .

I have always had good success north of Lake Alpine above 8000ft, but this year I haven't even seen a doe much less a buck. Does anybody know if the deer moved down early this year? I am going to...
