I'm going to the lower Trinity again this coming weekend (Nov 2-5) to try and fill my bear tag. I went mid September to an area near Ripstein Campsite. The rangers in Weaverville said the place is overrun at times with bear. Met a crew that bagged a big one on the day of rifle opener. I bumped a big one in a creek the next day. I'm going up solo this Sunday from San Leandro and coming back on Wednesday a.m.
If I don't fill the tag, I will likely go back up early Dec, approx Dec 1-4. If anyone wants to talk shop about either trip, let me know. We could jump on a call or Zoom (or have a beer) and strategize. Sure would be nice to have more people to pal up with, particularly for big game. Glassing alone is less fun...My main hunting buddies right now are with new borns, busy with overly demanding jobs, or too busy with ducks (which I love but don't want to focus on until it gets colder). Most people don't hunt bears so I really want to meet more folks that do.
If none of those dates work for anyone, I'd be pumped just to meet other folks who like to hunt bear (any game actually) from the Bay Area east to Nevada and north to the Oregon border. Lots of space and game out there, sure would be nice to have more hunting partners to explore and learn with. Fatherhood and work has me and so many of us isolated.
I'd even be down to start/host a men's group for hunters in the Bay Area that meets up every couple months in the East Bay. Anyone?
