Great morning out glassing with my brother. Didn't see what we had hoped for, but we were out there alone (which is a change) and the views were incredible. We got a few more weeks! Hope to post a pic of a buck soon.

Reminds me of years ago when i used to hunt Silverado Canyon in the Cleveland NF just above Orange. Used to shoot lots of bandtails and a few deer.
Silverado Canyon....love it. That's not far from where I live. Plenty of lions out there now...not many deer. CC you have hunted all over this great state!

Born there in 1941 (4th generation) and I believe I got to hunt (and fish) during some of the best years .....50s & 60s. About the only area I really never hunted is the NW part above the bay area. We used to get 6 weeks for the late season deer season. One closing weekend our party of 23 got 22 bucks in the Bridgeport area. I hunted birds (pheasant, quail, chukar,doves, bandtails and waterfowl) all over the state. I used to hunt quail by Lake Mathews about an hour from home. To many houses and developement now. Used to be 5 trap ranges in the greater LA area, plus several rifle ranges (one in Silverado). During the 70's, my wife and I knew we wanted to live somewhere elso where there were less people.
It was not easy to leave. I went to college there, worked there and all my family and friends too. I remember these great times. I didn't even mention the fishing. Had a big boat and spent probably 15 to 20 weekends a year on it fishing and diving at Catalina and in Baja. But I love Colorado now. Staying here till I'm gone!!

Yah we noticed that hawk after the shot. There were a few of them flying around that morning, just riding the thermals.
