What zone was it in? I found a deer leg last Saturday during opening of rifle. Looked to be fresh but I never found the rest of the deer or any other parts. No meat on the bones but the joints and cartilage were still there, looks like it had died within the last week(ish). Just curios if it...
Bought a Mcgowen custom barrel for my .300 WM a few years back when I didnt know much about anything with custom rifles (still dont). Havent shot it much but it shoots like a dream when I do. Consistently hitting steel at 900 yards with factory ammo. With the break and heavy bull barrel it kicks...
Yea thats fair. I know some exist on public land I just havent had the luck of finding them. I've seen em once on public land and that is when I jumped a sounder of piglets at 3' away, never saw the mom. Can't blame the land owners for not wanting the liability of strangers on their land either...
Its such a shame isnt it, I saw an article about a women getting chased by a massive pig in Corona. Ive heard some live on public land out here but I haven't been able to find any. I also heard the pig problem is becoming so bad in riverside county they may actually end up opening it up to...
Yea I agree, like I said Im in no way for this bill. Im just saying I wish there was better access for hunters for pigs other than paying $1000/pig to hunt private land.
Lol thats a problem id gladly have any day of the week. Would take more pigs than I could kill in a year for me to start complaining about that, but thats just cuz im starved of finding pigs.
I don't know if this is gonna make much of a difference for the average CA hunter as far as hunting pigs. Since most pigs are on pvt land and nowadays the cost for a private land "guided" pig hunt is $800+ per pig, the 25$ cost of a tag doesn't make much of a difference. I doubt this'll have any...
I feel ya on that. I hit the first stage, feet when numb like I had been sitting on the toilet for a few hours. Waterproofing on boots were definitely gone and the knee high snow and frozen creek I broke through didnt help. Couldnt feel my pinkie toe for a couple of days. Not a fun situation I...
Im in the same boat as you, except I never saw an elk. Hunted Elk for the first time during 1st Rifle last year in 16/17 and that early storm definitely threw a wrench in my plans and made me realize I was under prepared as I almost got frostbite in my toes.
Knock on wood this year is looking a...
I don't think anyone is arguing that they are the same buck. Even OP agrees they are 2 different bucks. He said he didn't look closely at the rack when he shot the buck and that the 4x3 probably isn't the one he shot at.
Im in a similar boat. None of my friends could tag a long so my dad volunteered to go. Hes also 64 and while not in the best of shape, has ben backpacking a good handful of times. We are gonna be packing in 3 miles or so for first season. I'm nervous as hell for him with how hes gonna do in the...
Yea im amazed they were able to survive that environment. More survivable in 16/19 probably except for the lions. Can't say i woulda complained to have them there tho deer hunting SoCal kinda suuuuccckkkks lol.
Un-related to the topic of this thread but still a fun fact, we actually do have Rocky Mountain Mule Deer in Southern California. Introduced in like 1945 to the desert areas out here. But that doesnt mean itd be a good idea to introduce non-native wolves to Colorado, if there gonna be there it...
