Well, almost a month later than my OP, it's snowing like hell! Got up about 5:30am and let my Lab out and it was spitting a little snow. Now it's 10:00 and it has nor quit. We have about 4" on the ground and it is still really coming down. I should have known, took the blade off my Rhino last...

The State Senate unanimously approved a request by Parks & Wildlife to increase all fees in 2019. This includes all hunting and fishing licenses and tags. The proposed elk tag for a non resident would go from $450 to $660 and the fee for residents would go from $45 to $53. Still has a ways to go...

Like one of these!

Took this picture this afternoon (March 9). They are still here. They were on my pond with some honkers. Took off right after I took this, pretty wary. Specs! White Front or Specklebelly Geese showed up in my pasture today. They were with about 100 Canadas. First time ever seen Specs here...

I use my winch with my blade to move snow.

Served jury duty all day yesterday and have to go back to finish today. One trial (felony traffic incident) 6 jurors. Called 60 in for jury pool. Wouldn't you know it, it was called for the jury and picked. Sat most of yesterday listening to testimony, motions and tons of dead time in the jury...

I know everyone has to apply for exactly the same animal & type, but I can't find anything about quantity. We are planning on type 6 Antelope tags, but one of us only want 1doe, the other 2 want 2 does. Can we apply together?

Deer hunting used to be pretty good in southern California. My family settled in Orange County in the 1880's and were all hunters. I have taken deer in the Angeles & Cleveland NF's and the Malibu Mts. Unfortunately access in a lot of the areas that still hold lots of deer in nonexistent because...

The 3 in the pictures are my everyday cutters! Of course the folder is an Outdoor Edge from Eastman's, the smaller sheath knife is a custom skinner made by Mark Wahlster, Silverton, Or. that I had him make to my specification about 30 years ago. I use it on all my big game and it is a wonderful...

A few years back I had a barrel setup on a 03 Springfield action. I had my 'smith get a Shilen stainless match grade barrel. The cost of barrel, installation & chambering was less than $400.00. It was chambered for .220 Ackley Improved Swift and he didn't have that reamer, so it was rented. That...

If you read my other post, you know I just got my Swaro back from repair. The shoulder harness is 12 years old and the elastic is shot.I am getting a new one and there are lots of them with a case attached. Who uses the case and do you like it? Seems like it would be a little clumsy to me. I...

I just received my Swaro Laser Guide range finder/bino combo back from repair. All that was wrong was a broken neck strap fitting. I have had these for about 10 years and have had no other problems with them . They also replaced the eye cup, receiver lens and various small parts and aligned the...

The story entitled "We are Trophy Hunters" n the latest February issue really got my blood boiling. The author Joe Coogan obviously has lots of Africa hunting ties. His whole story never once mentions the aspect of killing a game animal for eating purposes. All he talks about is horns, claws &...

We finally got some much needed snow. We got about 6" at my place (6800') and the local mountains got a lot more. I got to use the snow blade I bought for my Yamaha Rhino utv and it worked slick.

I just read the sticky and unfortunately the articles are not there. I am getting out of the dark ages and getting a smart phone, my current send/receive cell is being retired. What is suggested (smart phones) for the best picture quality?

I want to post a few more pictures. Took my Dad to Diamond Valley Lake for a guided fishing on Fathers Day a few years after I retired, lots of trout & bass. Also a pict of salmon Dad & I caught in a rented skiff out of Ft. Bragg, Calif. Also him on his last horseback wilderness trip in the...

I am sure a lot of you have read some of my posts here on the Forum. I started hunting when I was really young (7) and have been taught by my Dad. Dad loved anything to do with hunting or fishing. I was his oldest child and only son, so you know I got special attention. I hunted and fished with...

Snowed a little last night, our first snow on this winter. Can't see the mountains, but I'm sure they got quite a bit. Need more for sure. Yes...Bigfoot was here too! LOL
