My go to is glassing! Glass for the first few hours in the morning. When I say glassing that's 90% of the time your eyes are behind the glass. Look at every thing. Then later in the day walk out some draws and canyons. The best go to is to learn and area and hunt it year after year. Learn their...
Im 47 and have a chronic back pain from herniation of disc in the L5/S1. I train with weights and cross train through out the year. I try and walk with a pack on a few month before the season starts. I take ibuprofen with me on hunts and melatonin to help me sleep. I think Hydration and...
We rentedLLamas in Wyoming during archery elk. With the price tag for the 2 llamas, i was always happy when i would get to camp and see them look at me when we returned. In the back of my head everyday I worried a bit if one or both would getting loose. Glad you found them!
Have hunted elk for 10 years and had a few opportunities but came up empty handed. Finally got my first archer bull on the ground on the 15th. Keep at it!
This is what its like to live in California as a Conservative.... Liberals which are mostly Dem's " If you don't respect difference's of other people then you're a racist. Oh, you hunt and kill animals.... You Piece of sh!T, go kill yourself! They are the biggest hypocrites on the earth.... They...
I Have used the FHF and the kuiu bins harnesses. They both have their Pro's and Con's. I really like the Kuiu harness as it folds down vs a flap. They both protect your glass. The FHF has attachments for a pistol that's nice and has more accessories. I run 10x42 vortex viper HD glass and it fits...
Idaho was a big OTC option for Elk and Deer. I believe that idahos changes has shifted some to burning their points else where. If Colorado makes Changes to their OTC elk hunt you ill see a lot of point creep in other states. I hunted Idaho for elk till and it washy go to state while a built up...
Totally understand make hunting season longer. The Cache Creek Wilderness is a huge area. Glassing in going to be key to finding the bucks. Look for a private message from me.Ill give you some info.
Like all the others have said Hot, Dry and fire season is in full effect. Fire season can at times play a huge issues with hunting California. More areas are getting closed and the smoke sometimes makes glassing difficult. Is there a reason for the A-zone and cache creek area? Depending on how...
Environmentalist and their money have cause a lot of what's going on. Calfire and Feds have millions to spend on fuel reduction and Forest Management projects. But these projects get held up or never even materialize due to law suits. Environmental groups are partly to blame for what we are...
The rut for Blacktail in California is very weather dependent. If its an area that get hunted hard the bucks have a tendency to stay nocturnal. You will see the little ones running around bu the big ones still stay in there old habits at times. The cool wet weather will bring them out. As the...
I had the early tag last year. It was a hard hunt. Never seen one buck that would go over over 150". I hiked into the wilderness and seen very few deer. I passed several small 4x4's. I spent a lot of time glassing and never turned up anything decent. The bucks were starting to hang with doe's at...
