Great question but wow so many scenarios. I’ve got a few but they seem to fit different needs. Thoughts…are the cams a long distance/travel time from your home? Is it hunting season and you want real time data? Is it your private land and you want real time data on poachers? Countless other...

Hard to disagree with the responses. I’ve replaced/upgraded most of my clothing and accessories the last few years to Kuiu and its all great gear. If asking for pants, my favorite warm weather pants is for sure the Under Armour Ridge Reaper Raider. Extremely comfortable, lightweight, stretch...

I wouldn’t give up. Might suggest getting the contact information for one of the field folks in your area. I obtained cell numbers for a D16 DFG field guy and also a BLM guy. I’ve reached out to both of them over the years, usually about access issues. The DFG guy has always been very helpful...

That's awesome! Thanks for the post.

We get a fair amount of wildlife that comes through our property. Couple of days ago, this red tail fox came in to successfully hunt a vole (mouse like rodent that burrows in the snow in the winter). We’ve only got 6-12” of snow left so now easy hunting for the fox. While the coyotes mimic this...

I would echo all your comments Wildgame based on our trip. I'm looking forward to going back at some point. Thanks for the post and pics.

Thanks for the input. I've seen a couple of great reviews on the Garmin and leaning towards picking one up.

Yet another recurring reason to always carry heat. I always pack my 10mm in my chest holster out hunting, hiking, fishing, mtn biking, etc. Never know when a you’ll have to defend yourself from a bear, lion, wolf, cow moose w/calves…or tweaker. Woman recovering after being mauled by cougar...

I really miss those wild hog days in the San Diego backcountry. Was a great couple of years. Found them in several different areas of the county. They drove me and a couple of buddies nuts!

HunterMcBuckKiller - Second NBK's recommendation. NAVHDA is a great volunteer training group and the San Diego chapter in particular is very strong. Very experienced folks willing to help those new to training a gun dog.

Interestingly, California’s CARB previously granted exemptions for owners during times of renewals for emission items like this. But they want diesels off the roads so doubt exemptions will be allowed. Keep us posted. There are almost 1 million trucks under this recall. What a cluster puck.

A .38 revolver is a great reliable setup, can’t go wrong with that. Had a 357 revolver for many years as a sidearm. A semi in a 9mm platform is widely viewed as the answer for most. 9mm ammo has advanced so much ballistically over the years, is widely available in varying specs, generally...

Went out with a buddy this morning on a 2 hr “hike” with the hopes of getting a good start for 2024. Bumped a nice covey of quail but not able to get a shot off. Didn’t have a dog with us this time so more challenging. Good weather. Happy New Year everyone.

My grandfather took me hunting and fishing as a kid. He had a family German Shepard that tagged along with us and along with his well trained Brittnay and Springer dogs. The GS never really “got” hunting any of the bird varieties but for whatever reason did occasionally ok on pheasants. GS are...
