    Buck down - sad. What would you do?

    A good question. I did not turn it into local LE as it was in a remote area, not likely to be in anyway traceable to a culprit, also not likely to be followed up on - so I concluded it would be a waste of my time to find one of our few and far between DFG LE. Perhaps if I'd had more to give to...

    Buck down - sad. What would you do?

    As my daughter and I were hunting B zone we came across this: He'd probably been there a couple days. Bloated, flys doing their work but his blood was still liquid. Would have been a nice deer but someone poked a triangular shaped hole in the back of his head! Grrr. It did start an...

    Bear sign?

    Thanks everyone for your feedback. I think the raptor theory might have some merit. The bit that threw me off of birds is that the splotches seemed to be beneath other rocks. But maybe that's because everything above them had been washed clean by the rain? Went to the G1 hunt this year, so...

    Bear sign?

    While hunting CA B zone last year I found myself up on a rocky hillside with a bunch of large boulders. I had previously spotted a bear in this area and found an area that he had obviously spent a lot of time, wearing the trails right down to the dirt. Among the boulders there were a few large...

    870 remchoke with steel?

    Went after some turkeys with a friend this weekend but had to use my modified choke as both my Full and Turkey choke say "Lead shot only". As California is now a "Unleaded" state I need to work this out. 1)Does anyone know why those chokes are limited? 2)Any recommendations for a superfull...

    GM Mechanics?

    http://www.samarins.com/diagnose/p0446.html They say it makes a difference depending on the company maybe jeep just lumps it all together. Evap system leak is in the list of options though.

    GM Mechanics?

    You've got a vacuum leak more then likely. If you've got one available a smoke tester is your best friend. Blow it in - see where it leaks out. Not sure if GM uses them but my wife jeep got a 446 when her vacuum test pump (I don't remember the exact name) went bad. Could be a gas cap -...

    Scope Questions

    This year I bought a used Nikon Monarch 3 2.5x10x50 - $250 A bit more then I realize you want to spend. The point is as I sat back in the trees and the light began to fade I was able to make out features on trees at 100yrds that my binos showed as blobs. I was hoping I'd be having to decide...

    I would really like to borrow one of these for the 3rd week in sep (18-26) if someone has one available? I will of course gladly compensate them for the time. Normally I wouldn't take something like this in the woods but a couple weeks back my Father-in-law had a heart attack and has been...

    early California archery temps are too hot !

    My first deer hunt in CA was in A Zone. I hunted for years in MI and figured I had all the gear - no problem... or so I thought. Roasted nuts with no campfire! Had to go out and retool most of my clothing after the first weekend. First time I ever hunted in shorts and a T-shirt.

    early California archery temps are too hot !

    If you do put one on the ground how would you get it out before it spoiled? Most A-zone areas I've ever hunted had no streams to cool anything in. (If they did it would probably be cooling me!) I know when I used to chase piggies in King City in the summer I would just find a place that was...

    6 year sevice nearing end, which state?

    WOW DEJAVU. I was almost in your exact place 20 yrs ago! I came from MI and spent 6 in the Navy. When I got out I really didn't want to go back to MI. Then I was stationed in WA and loved the outdoors aspect of it but didn't do much hunting as the ship would've frowned on me bringing my .06...

    Solo archery hunting?

    Well I think the answer is quite obvious...... You should call me. :) That would solve your solo issue and I'd be more then happy to help you pack out something. We store it in my cooler at the trail head and head back out.

    Help: numb leg

    Got the same issue - Doc explained it's the pinching of a nerve lying below where your hip bone protrudes out front. He explained that people wearing tool-belts for a living often have the issue. just have a friend push in hard at the inside edge of the forward part of your hip. You'll know...
