This is the best answer. John

Don't get me wrong. I think it is total crap that we can't carry. But, until they officially tie this one off and amend the code to reflect it then we are hooped.

That is not what I am hearing from Wardens that I know. You cannot carry a side arm during archery season while hunting deer unless you are a Leo. See FGC 4370 subsection b. It really depends on the Warden and how they want to enforce it or not enforce it. I have seen them let violations go with...

Lots of Southern Pacific's in Valley Center. Not sure what type got your son but the SPs are very aggressive and venomous. Snake Gaters and tongs if you have to move one. Otherwise, a 12 gauge works best. Sorry for your and your son. It is hard to watch your kids go through stuff like that and...

Nice Jake!

Big Game Digest is up. Look at the harvest numbers for X9a and X12. Numbers were down quite a bit. John

Yep. It was a trip. The lighting was not great. I focused on the beard. It came on the call. Pulled the trigger and was like crap. No eggs. I would have passed if I was certain it was a bearded hen. I thought Jake for sure. I know it is a legal bird but legal doesn't always make it right. John

20 eggs and I managed to deliver one live. So, one safely released into the wild.

Where the hell is everyone? Hunted public and no one was anywhere near me. Used one hen decoy. Dropped a bearded bird at at around 45 to 60 yards. The TSS No.7 is no hype. Primos Jelley Head. John

I appreciate the time you put into writing this up. As someone who appreciates good writing, thank you. Great pics. That deer belongs on a wall. Tell your daughter she did really good. I remember when we got my niece on her first deer. Girls just listen a lot better and are more patient then...

Should start April 15th. Big Game Digest is not out yet. Neither are the kill numbers for 2023. John

Check it on OnX. Talk to a Warden. You said it goes through private property. Unless it is on an established easement then why risk it? Even if it is not posted with no trespassing or fenced. In any case, talk a Warden that patrols that area. Regardless of what we tell you if they tell you they...

The power of a mountain is formidable. They make it sound like it was a young lion. Maybe 90 pounds. A 90 pound lion can kill any sized dude as long as it has a good grip. It is Turkey season. Those of us that will be out there keep in mind you are calling and you will have decoys out. Keep your...

I have seen Mountain Lions twice in the same week in D16 in two different areas and in daylight. There are more out there then people think. Keep your head on swivel. They attack from behind and like most land predators they go for the face and neck. John

That Lion is already dead. Regardless, people have every right to enjoy the outdoors. You just need to be prepared. You never know what kind of animal may decide to make you its next dinner. Bear spray or pistol will at least give you a chance. I don’t even jog cross country without a can of...
