So I called the San Diego office of Fish and Wildlife ( located on Ruffin Rd) and told them that I am new to the SD area and would like to speak to a wildlife biologist or Game Warden about places to check out for deer hunting in the D-16 unit.. The girl that answered the phone told me that...

Sorry for the dumb question, but when do these desert mule deer rut in the San Diego Area? (d-16)

Anyone else going scouting this weekend? I'm going to check out a few places and hang a few cameras tomorrow and Sunday. Been sitting behind my maps and talking to a few people and taking all the advise I can get. Hoping to find a spot for early archery deer, but hoping to find a little turkey...

Up for sale is a Jansport Olympic external frame pack. It's a really nice pack with lots of room and nicely designed pockets. It's in great shape except for one small area a mouse chewed on while I took a quick break in a lake ( you can see the hole and strap on the upper left hand corner)...

Up for offer is a very nice condition Badlands 4500 pack. Not sure what year I bought it, maybe 2012. ? I bought it new for $449.99. It's the one that also has the small attachable day pack. Nice pack for heavy loads. I've only used this pack on camping trips and never have packed any meat in...

Up for sale is a, like new set of Hodgman chest waders size XL (I'm 6'3 215 lbs and fit me no problem) and Hodgman felt sole boots size 12. This set was worn once when I thought I was going to be fishing steelheads in the rivers of WA. Yep then I moved here to SD.. No time for fishing with all...

So this is my 2nd season living down here and trying to find a spot. Lots of tight lipped people round here:-) anyways, I've been scouting my butt off (lots of looking at maps and Google earth) and hanging a few cameras here and there. I find lots of other people's honey holes ( lots of tree...

Not sure if this has been done before, but I love getting into the back country to hunt. Let's see some of your backcountry trophies. I'll go first.. This was a moose/caribou hunt way in the backcountry of the Brooks Range Alaska. Went with three other friends and had an amazing trip!

Can somebody or multiple people recomend any charter boat fishing out of San Diego? I want to go fishing on Saturday, but don't want to waste my money on a crappy boat. I'm solo so I can't charter an entire boat by myself.. I also do not have any saltwater gear so I'll need the charter to...

Hey guys, I got on the web to look at this place, but can't figure it all out and tried calling the attatched number and no answer. So my questions are: 1. Are you allowed to turkey hunt out there (archery)? 2. Are you allowed to hunt deer out there (archery)? 3. Are you allowed to camp...

Does anybody do this? Sorry for all the questions. Going out tomorrow and the forecast is showing rain. I've got zero problems being outdoors in the rain, just wasn't sure how the turkeys feel about it. As always guys, thanks so much!

Hey all you turkey pros, So on public land in SD county, how long will you guys generally wait in between calling/set ups until you move along to another spot? Thanks.

So I've been watching some YouTube video's about how to "clean" a turkey. I noticed there's 2 main camps. There's the ones who skin the bird and then take each breast and leg/thigh. Then there's the, hang it and pluck it and have it like a thanksgiving bird. So how do you guys all do it...

Anybody ever use these things? I've been a backpacker for years and usually trecking through some very wet, rainy country. I've been sleeping under a tarp for the last few years and always trying different configurations. I picked these up off of Amazon for 3 bucks each. I have two large and two...

Hey Socal guys, So I've been here in SD for almost a year now and have been scouting around my hunting area D-16. I'm very much enjoying myself, but I was wondering if you guys could give me some ideas for OTC archery deer areas where I could get up high and into some trees for some...

Anyone else put in for New Mexico elk this year? Been trying it out the last few years with my buddy from Amarillo (archery tags). No luck so far, but just spent $622.00 to try yet again. Anyone else think they have the slim chance of getting a tag?

Can someone please help me with a basic here? Could you put up some picks of turkeys from different angles and show where I want to aim for an archery shot? I know it's dumb, but honestly I've got no idea.. I'll be using a typical 3 blade broadhead. I know with a shot gun I'd just blast it in...

I have never liked the idea of sitting in a typical tree stands. Also never liked the idea of having to haul my day pack up the tree with me and hope not to drop anything. I also like being on the ground level in case I see a critter but out of my effective shooting distance.. Anyways I picked...
