I have a blind but quit using it. If the dog sits still I don't think the ducks react much. I have them come right into the decoys.

You should take time to introduce yourself. Most likely not going to get a lot of response if this your first post. Keep looking they are there! I helped a buddy there in 2011. The bigger bucks were in areas you would expect to find Mule Deer. Small cuts not visible from the county roads. He...

I called this nice bird in for my Grandson Cole on the opening day of youth season. 11 inch beard, 1 inch spurs.

How many of you prepare and freeze meals for base camp? This is pasta sauce with last year's venison processed into Italian Sausage. Once cooked and placed in heavy duty zip lock bags it is laid flat in the freezer. The meals are then placed in a Yeti with dry ice and thawed for cooking as...

As I get older and due to requests from kids and grandkids I have decided to try and document some of my most memorable hunts and trips over the years. As I was putting together stories and pictures I recalled one true story that I thought the group would enjoy. A friend and I were hunting in...

Being a life-long Californian I have encountered some strange reactions when hunters see your CA license plate on an out of state hunt. In fact just a couple of years ago we were trying to reach a camp spot Southeast of Rock Springs after a snow storm. The roads were extremely slick and muddy...

Do any of you have that one miss that haunts you? It just stays in your head. You think about it when you are trying to go to sleep? It pops into your mind as you plan your next hunt? You think about it when you are preparing for a shot at another animal. I have a couple. I drew an Oryx Tag in...

This Model 70 30:06 was given to me by my father several years ago as a gift for a job promotion. I started using the gun as a teenager and killed my first Deer, Elk and Antelope with it before Dad passed it on to me. The gun is a little on the heavy side but is a tack driver. I decided to have...

Youth hunt this weekend with my Grandson! Calls tuned up, decoys ready and he is calling and texting daily.

Starting to think about my 2015 deer application options. I have max points, however my son who would like to hunt with me is a point behind. Looking at draw odds we both should be able to draw most of the X-zone hunts as a party. We are considering X5A or X5B. I have not hunted in those areas...

I will be heading out on my first Coues Deer (rifle) hunt in New Mexico in a few weeks. If there was just one word of advice an experienced Coues Deer hunter could pass on what would it be? Thanks

My hunting partner is looking for a Leupold Alumina flip up scope cover for an older fixed 6X with a 42mm objective. Everything on-line shows the item as discontinued or out of stock. Leupold does not make it any longer. Does anyone out there know of one on a shelf at a sporting goods/gun shop...

Anyone familiar with Snake River Processing in Baggs? Experiences? Any other processor you would suggest? We will be hunting near there in region "W" after our Antelope hunt. If things go as planned we should have 3 Antelope to either keep in cold storage or process and freeze while we hunt...

I just received mine the other day. $18. $15 + $3 shipping and handling. Just a little confused on where to display it. The tag says it must be displayed on the front left to be valid. The peel off portion of the tag says it must be displayed and clearly visible on the front or the left exterior...

Very nice thread and great pictures. Hello all I am Leonard. I do get a few comments on my Chiefgobbler name choice. Basically 32 years in the Fire Service (retired a few years back) and my Turkey hunting passion including a NWTF World Slam is where the name originated. I will be 61 next week...

Happy Mother's Day! My Mom is in her 80's and going strong. My wife and I have been married for 32 going on 33 years. The other day I asked her what she saw in me all those years ago. She said she liked that I was "big, strong and would be a great provider". What really hit home was when she...

Has anyone tried Lathrop and Sons Tech-Light Hunter Boot? It is a Lowa Cevedale. I am in the market for a light weight non-insulated hunting boot. There is no place near where I live to try on quality boots. I ordered a pair of Kenetrek Bridger Ridge boots and was extremely disappointed. The...

This is one of the better long beards I have taken in California. 11 1/4 inch beard.

This turned out to be a great hunt. The only negative is it is only a two day hunt. I did not get any responses on the forum but was able to scout the weekend before and found 10 different bucks. Most were forks and a couple of three points. My Grandson filled his tag opening morning with a 250...

I am fortunate to belong to a club near Los Banos. Opening weekend is usually a blast. I have some friends who drew NWR and are scrambling to find other places to hunt. My Grandson is hot to hit it again this year.
