I am headed back to Catalina for a long weekend of hunting. Hopefully I am as successful as last year. Last year, I filled my freezer with over 100 pounds of meat. My wife and I have finished almost all of it. Two deer provided enough meat for the two of us for the entire year. I hope to...

I have a brand new pair of Kenetrek Mountain Guide 400 boots in size 8. They fit me perfect and are very comfortable. Why am I getting rid of them? Because they are too warm! I really should have gotten non-insulated. That is what my next purchase will be. I have other insulated boots and they...

Could anyone give me a little info on a pig hunt? I am looking at Giant Sequoia Guide Service. Do they hunt with dogs? I have heard from another hunter that using dogs to track and capture pigs is about the only way of going. I am not so sure about this. NBK, I think you have used Neil...

Got back from a 3 day hunt on Catalina. Gorgeous weather for the island. I was successful on my very first hunt! My first deer was a buck. I spotted him at 280 yards and stalked to with 75 yards. Got a good clean shot and dropped him...right down the hill. First lesson learned in hunting...

I am going deer hunting next week. With the temperature as high as it has been lately, I am concerned about getting (and keeping) the meat cold. I have read lots of things about getting it below 40 if possible. Is there such a problem as too cold? What if the meat were to freeze? I am...

Just picked up the Sako and had the scope mounted (Thanks NBK!). Took it out to the range yesterday and had a hell of a time. 300wsm is just a LITTLE more powerful than the .223 AR I am used to shooting. :) I just wanted to dial in the scope at 100 and 200, only had access to the 100 yard...

After buying my new rifle, I went online to find non-lead ammo. Cabela's is having one heck of a sale on Barnes Vor-TX. 300WSM is $39.19 + $5 mail in rebate (limit 4). That is $21 less per box than Bass Pro. Plus, Cabela's is offering $5 flat shipping on all orders over $99 (yes, ammo...

I am looking at buying a new hunting rifle and want to get a good all around gun for deer, elk and anything else I choose. Is the 300wsm a good option, or is it too much for the mule deer? Is there a bullet that would work well that is lead free and good between 150 and 300 yards? Thanks,

Anyone hunt Catalina before? I heard they really want to limit population this year.

I just took my Hunter Safety course and passed. I have not picked up a license yet. I see that the hunting license is valid from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015. The application deadline for deer tags is June 2nd. I assume I must have a 2013-2014 license to apply for a 2014-2015 deer tag...
