Geologist
FNG
Quasi-FNG from NorCal Sierra foothills. I registered 7 years ago, then took some time off from hunting to pursue other interests (fly fishing, ww kayaking, jeep’n, ww rafting).
Decided to get back into it this year… I have an oh-so-hard to draw Cailf. D3-5 tag, a Calif. B tag, and an Oregon Elk tag for the Tioga unit. I’ve killed many deer in A-zone and D3-5 over the past 40 years (started when I was 12), plus a bunch of hogs, mix of bow and rifle hunting.
Rifle will be my trusty Tikka T3 in .30-06 with a Swaro Z3 3-10x42. I used to be heavy into bowhunting, but I have too many competing gear-intensive hobbies and not a great amount of time or interest to practice with the bow.
Depending on how this year goes I may burn some California points next year… I have 17 deer points right now… I also have 18 speed goat and 19 elk points.
Anyway, thanks for all the content over the years… a big reason I am so happy with my EL 10x42’s and ATC spotter are the gear reviews and feedback here. I also just decided to upgrade my rangefinder from a cheapo Bushnell (suitable for bowhunting only) to a Leica 2800.com, again, because of what I’ve learned here.
Cheers all!
