Thanks.

I have worn the Lacrosse Burley for many years for the same reasons.

Terrific bear! Congratulations. Do you have a skull measurement?

Thanks Sig and Eastmans.

Welcome to the forum from behind the Orange Curtain.

2018 California Blacktail killed in Trinity County. 4 x 3 plus eyeguards and a whopping 197 lbs., which is huge for a Blacktail. Largest deer killed on this ranch in 152 years. T/C Encore 30/06, Burris 2 x 7 Ballistic Plex, Nosler 150 gr. BT at 65 yards. Bucks were ganging up pre-season...

Pretty much all black in the area that I hunt. Out of thirteen bears, I only shot one color phase bear, a medium size blonde. I shot this bear in the Trinity Mountains in Northern California. At that time it was the #11 Inland Black Bear taken with a handgun.

Sorry for the late reply. Probably 454 Casull or 480 Ruger. Leaning toward the latter.

Has anyone used this new lumbar pack from Holland Shooters Supply?

Looks like the much heralded El Nino rainfall has turned into El No-No for Southern California. It appears that the Sierras have fared a little better. As of 2/1/2016, the Sierra snowpack is at its highest level in five years. The average statewide snowpack is 114% of normal, but they are...

Most everyone reading this knows that we will be faced with the mandatory use of no lead bullets for hunting in many areas of the state next year. That means re-sighting everything in before next season. There seem to be good stocks now, but I predict there will be a shortage of the no lead...

Struck out on my 2015 California Mule Deer Tag for X-10 , but managed to connect with this California Blacktail on my second tag. One shot at 67 yards with an Encore 30/06 using Winchester Power Max factory ammunition. Downhill quartering shot entered the ribcage, took out the heart and lungs...
