It's a disgrace what has happened up there. How it's been allowed to get this bad is a joke. Nothing but money is going to change it and most of us are done donating to see no improvement up there or places like Sutter.
I'm envious... my place is just North of Craig. I'd much rather be there than here in this 103 degree heat. I coach football and at last weeks game it was over 120 on the turf. Tomorrow looks to be the same at kickoff. I can't wait until the late October games.
Agreed, the water is going to have to come from somewhere or there will be massive die offs.
Sucks to see all the "rice country" fallowed and disked like it is. I'm not a rice guy but I understand it's value to the migration and the opportunity for guys to lease fields. Let alone the fiscal...
Yeah those are my "go to" straps. They're well made and make great gifts as well.
I'm a member, as well as my sons, and I donate every year but that's about it. I don't have much free time between work, side business and coaching.
This year is going to be a challenge based on our current...
I'm in the Lodi area. I have a couple private areas in the Delta region and still hunt refuges and public waterways.
Decoys vary depending on where I am and what I'm targeting but I primarily use Avians or GHG. I've got a ton of PlatiDuck and G&H Pins that I'll never part with.
As far as...
I know some guys who hung up out of state hunting as well as ducks. They all complained about lack of access to tags / areas to hunt and the increasing costs of tags and leases (Ducks). I can't say I blame them but I'll not be retiring my guns anytime soon.
My arrows are 178grain ELDX so, yes, right through the neck.
Not being a bow hunter I'd pass with a bow. I'd wait him out right there and hope he stood giving me enough time to send one.
I lost my Dad and Grandfather unexpectedly 2 years ago. Those were my Big Game hunting partners. Even though I was usually off doing my own thing we always ended up around the table together at the end of the day. I only hunt with 2 other guys, 1 is family the other might as well be. I met him...
I have pictures of a Bull moose in the wide open sage flats just outside of Craig that I took last year the last week of September. I damn near crashed by truck when my son pointed it out. In all my years its the first and only one I've personally seen in the sage. Pretty cool.
I've used one for my son and I the last 2 seasons. We've killed a few animals with it and I've been glad I had it when it was needed.
The only issue I've had with using a harris and sling was the sling attachment point would come loose on mine and I damn near dropped my rifle one day. Other...
