    Hot desert!

    Had some work in San Diego yesterday (7/24) so I brought guns. After work I Drove east on the 8 to the IV. It was 116 degrees so I chose a couple of ECD spots with trees I could stand under. Man it’s rough when it’s already 116 when you START hunting. Bagged 15 euros then got ready for...

    Small critter, big fun

    So me and my bro in law drove over to eastern Oregon to shoot "sage rats". They're actually a Beldings ground squirrell about 25% smaller than a California ground sq. They absolutely infest the alfalfa fields so owners allow guides to bring in shooters and pick 'em off. The shooting platform...

    Whole Lotta Dove

    Had a good afternoon shoot in Plaster City a few weeks ago with my buddy John. Got permission from a geothermal plant manager to shoot next to their property, which was in a flight path to a feed lot. The guy REALLY appreciated that we came in and asked for permission instead of just blasting...

    Bizarre quail opener 2022.

    Went to the IV for the quail opener yesterday. My regular buds couldn’t make it so I took my brother Dennis, “the fish whisperer” with me. He’s not a hunter but he came to fish the canals while I hunt. So I opened OnX and found all of my marks, then zoomed in and found the ones close to...

    Fat Lady not singing - summer fishing in October.

    Finally had a chance to try getting in on the best so cal dorado fishing in my lifetime. Left the slip from Huntington Harbor at 4:45 am with three other hooligans on my buddy’s 26 foot Skipjack “Jugular”. Got sardines at Nachos then jigged up 100 mackerel for the second bait tank. Headed...

    Super cool dove/pigeon cross?

    Forgot to mention this in my dove report. Pete shot this bird that looks like some sort of cross-breed. Probably the coolest one I’ve seen. Check this out:

    Dove report

    Six of us headed for the IV on Wednesday, the day before the opener. We came from the north and Saw lots of white wings on English, west of the 111. The area east of the 111 looked dead, but it was about 2 pm when we went through so I’m curious to hear from others how the DFW fields there shot...

    Ammo shipping question

    I’ve tried to get an answer from the state, the OC sheriff, and the city PD, but no love so far so I’m throwing this out to you all. I am currently a resident of Oregon, but I travel back to OC at least once per month on business. I stay at my folks house when I’m there. And most of my...

    Fun in the sun

    It’s been a while since I’ve had anything to post about. Life gets tricky sometimes. Like a box of chocolates I guess Anyway, I had some work in SE SD County so I parlayed it into an afternoon IV run. Had a chance to try my new Berretta 20 guage on some ECDs and I’m quite happy with it. The...

    Rut in the wide wide world of sports is a goin’ on here?

    So at our place in NW Oregon, does, fawns and spikes roam freely through the neighborhood, but I never see anything bigger than a fork. Until now. The rut has apparently begun because I’m seeing quality bucks throw all caution to the wind. Deer I haven’t seen all year are suddenly chasing...

    Steel shot and Teeth, really bad mixture

    I bit down real hard on a steel pellet while eating dove. Just brutal. Both upper and lower molar have been aching since. Dentist is sending me to the endodontist next week. I could be in for two root canals . Fortunately it was the only pellet found among the dozen or so dove consumed...

    Almost in Plaster City dove report

    Only three of our usual gang could make it this year for the opener. We all came from different directions to meet up in Brawley on Tuesday afternoon. One guy came from the north and scouted the DFW fields and East Highline. I drove in from the south and scouted some spots near the 8 freeway...

    It’s bug season
