Anyone have information on which zones suffered fire damage? I know there were some areas damaged in B-2, but I am interested in the X Zones in the Sierras. Supposedly those areas, as well as NW California will get some rain from the remnants of Hurricane Linda.

Another flop over!

I have been thinking about digging out my old Browning Recurve, and giving archery another shot. This bow has been stored for thirty years, and my concern is it may have deteriorated (delaminated?) over time. Can I tell if there is deterioration by examining the bow, or should I take it to an...

45/70 Maybe?

This is a California Mule Deer. He obviously has some strong Blacktail influence, and is nothing like the monster mulies from Colorado, etc.. However, I was pretty pleased with him because he was a big deer, and I was able to shoot him at 325 yards with a 30/06 Encore pistol during the last...

Anyone heard about Beretta buying Glock, or is this just another rumor? :confused:

I killed this hog in SoCal a few years back with a Ruger SRH in .44 Magnum. He placed in the SCI Top Ten hog kills with a handgun. Estimated weight was 450-500 lbs..

Having procrastinated to the last moment, I am going to put in for a deer tag in either the Grand Mesa or Chimney Rock areas. Any thoughts, recommendations, etc.? Thanks.

Has anybody tried the U.S. Marine's ILBE (Improved Load Bearing Equipment) pack? I just bought one specifically because I am a handgun hunter, and this is the most adaptable pack that I have found for that purpose.

Louisiana Bear on Trail Cam; California Black Bear killed with a 45/70 Handgun while hunting with hounds. At the time of kill, this bear was #9 in the SCI Record Book for Inland Black Bear killed with a handgun. Skull measured 19 15/16" after being boiled by taxidermist!

Can anyone tell me what has happened to this organization, or how to contact it? I did a search for it, but the links were broken. I found a Northwest Nevada Rifle & Pistol Assn., but that is not the same organization. Thanks.

Problem is motorized vehicles are not permitted in wilderness areas. If you can take your motorcycle, you will probably have to deal with an assortment of OHV riders. I will stick with my Jeep for those areas.

Drew the D-14 tag to go with B-2. Killed a 4 x 3 Blacktail on Sunday in B-2 with an Encore 25/06 pistol. So far, I am half right, but the hard part is ahead. Two weekends left in D-14. I will be using my Encore 30/06 pistol, and will try to find some of Bigshot's leftovers :D.

This is posted on the U.S. Forest Service website: Due to the lapse in agency funding, the sale of all types of permits (i.e., recreation, firewood, forest products, mineral materials for example) are suspended, recreation.gov reservations are suspended, and all federally owned recreation sites...

I killed this bear in 2005 in Trinity County. My fellow hunters (houndsmen) were thoroughly "ticked" off at me, as I turned down 5 bears over three days before shooting this one. Green score was 20 3/16", but after drying (and boiling!!) by taxidermist, the final measurement was 19 15/16"...

Majority leader Harry Reid informed Sen. Diane Feinstein that he would not be bringing her bill banning assault weapons to the floor, as it had no chance of passing. Feinstein responded "I very much regret it. I tried my best.". Many thanks to Wayne LaPierre and the NRA for its fierce defense of...

Just learned about this. Ironsight, Inc. bills itself as "the world's foremost repair station for Weaver scopes". Supposedly, Ironsight bought all of the parts and remaining inventory of the Weaver El Paso scopes. They even have some new in the box old model scopes. Got this from a fellow...

Now that we are getting down to the wire on season openers, everyone is honing their gear to get the most for the least weight. As an alternative to battery powered devices that cannot always find a signal, I always carry an old fashioned signaling mirror. These were a staple at anyplace that...

I drew a Zone X-10 tag in California for the regular (not late) season. Any information on that area would be appreciated. It is adjacent to Hwy 395, and extends west to the Kern River. Mostly in wilderness areas. I had this posted in the Mule Deer Forum, but it is getting lost over there. Thanks.
