Just went for G13 and got it. With my limited time in the field (only deer hunted twice last season) I figure if I don't find the buck I want I'll pull the trigger on a tasty doe if I'm running out of time. I'll be bumping elbows with the rest of you on 2 Aug 0800 to grab my forky tag.. I mean D16 tag.

That must be true. Put in 6 days hiking and glassing in '17. Saw lots of sheep, a ton of burros and a few yotes but no mulies. Stoked to try again this season!

D12 is an addiction, the outcome of a successful hunt is very rewarding. Good Luck to all hunters

Lee, did you not put in for the draw ?
If d16 was you second choice you got a point bud.

Rad, enjoy. There was a point when I hunted that zone 3 times in 5 year, but you could also draw it with 2 points then. We got lucky in the random one of those years as well.

I don't play the point game here in Cali (didn't get drawn for the combo tag in Montana)….So, it's the "16" for me (Jacob went A-22 first)….And who says the "16" is only the land of forky's….lol

Quite the contrary.... we have tons of sporks too!
In all honesty though, in my eyes our Southern mule deer are the equivalent in the mule deer world of what the Coues deer is in the whitetail world. Expectations should be adjusted accordingly.

"yes,it killed the hound..ferocious bitch she was"
Ive always found it interesting that CA. Classifies them as a mule deer..got a call them something i guess...new guys look up mule deer on the interweb and have visions of Colorado bucks..then they draw a tag in so cal and well....a spork is born..LOL..

It’s just genetically what they are. But it is pretty funny to watch people’s hopes and dreams shattered when they realize what the average buck down here looks like lol.
