    Lion attack up north

    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...

    Lion attack up north

    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

    Lion attack up north

    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...

    Wister Activity

    I think it comes to making adjustments. There are still good Blinds at Wister. Even if everything goes off the dikes then you go elsewhere. Lots of places to hunt ducks that people don't talk about that are free to access. The places I go require a descent dog. I may not pull a limit but I will...

    Wister Activity

    I hunted S22. That is a walk to that island. We are not Nor Cal. We have hunted the dikes historically at Wister. The bottom makes it necessary. It is not SJ. Unless they make a hard type walk way to the islands then the old guys will be impacted. I can do those walks but the time will come when...

    Wister Activity

    Holy Crap. They need to clean up 312 C2. It has gotten choked. They are supposed to do work in the W12s which makes me nervous. There is a push to make more island type Blinds and get us off the dikes. This is not a good option for those with mobility issues. This was what I heard from the CWA...

    Own a 6.5crd. Should I consider a 7MM?

    I already had a 4x3 in my freezer from up in X9a. I had my D16 tag and hunted it for the practice. I wasn’t going to pull the trigger on another Buck unless it was a really impressive one. If I hadn’t already had a Buck then I would have smoked him. He was never farther out than 275. So, chip...

    Own a 6.5crd. Should I consider a 7MM?

    My .30 06 has killed 5 deer. All with a 150 grain Barnes TTSX Boat Tail. My second rifle is a Tikka 7mm Rem Mag. If I could only have one then it is my .30 06. I passed on a 2x2 on D16 last season when I had my 7mm. I am sure it will drop any deer. I am using the same type of round as my .30 06...

    Mountain Lion in downtown Oceanside neighborhoods

    I don’t see any evidence of tire marks. I suspect a cover up. I can’t believe some poor soccer Mom creamed such a magnificent animal while driving the kids back home from soccer camp. I am sure OPD is on it.

    Back in the US

    I will stick with D16. I can be at one of my hunting spots in under an hour. Not much money in gas and I can yell at the dorks who wake up late and walk through where I am hunting. NZ is cool. I would go for a Stag. But, still too pricey for me. John

    California proposes annual Firearm tax and registration

    Even with all the BS. There are still plenty of hunters willing to apply for X9a and X12. Crazy that it will take me another 8 years or so to earn enough points to draw X9a. When will the point increase stop? With everyone bailing out of this state when will I draw X9a or X12 with 3 points...

    Ever wonder what goes on at the swamp when you are not there

    Dogs are amazing

    Yes. Both my Labs have been gifted with the natural ability to find any sign of edible rabbit droppings on my property. Seriously, they can find a game bird that is hidden anywhere they can scent it. Dogs are being trained to find all kinds of stuff from drugs to specific contraband that a...

    First Bird Dog, Maverick VonBirdfindr

    It is like Group Counseling. Everyone is at a different place in terms dog training experience. You can learn much from others and eventually be in a position to help others. Your dog will learn to work with other dogs and learn how to hunt in partnership with other dogs and to honor points and...

    First Bird Dog, Maverick VonBirdfindr

    Idaho is cool. They release pheasants every week during their season. Great way to get a young dog exposed to birds. We get hosed in Cali. Nothing comes easy in this State when it comes to hunting. Nothing like watching a young pointer on their first bird. Or any bird dog. The light switch goes...
