Ca big game

[HATCHET1]

It’s just genetically what they are. But it is pretty funny to watch people’s hopes and dreams shattered when they realize what the average buck down here looks like lol.

Exactly..lol..

 

[ilovesprig]

Quite the contrary.... we have tons of sporks too!

In all honesty though, in my eyes our Southern mule deer are the equivalent in the mule deer world of what the Coues deer is in the whitetail world. Expectations should be adjusted accordingly.

I agree...And in our own county, there's like other sub species of these "hybrids"....Here's a few "16" bucks that rate above the forky range....lol

ps...All different areas of San Diego Co.

[HATCHET1]

Yup
.they do exist..getting them to the right age class is a problem though im guessing..HA! KAPOOW!

I have got 2x 3x2 on cams early in January this year...fingers crossed they are still alive. Should grow bigger this year...

Yeah there’s definitely some good ones around. That first buck is incredible for the ‘16 Steve. If I recall correctly you mentioned there were some kaibab bucks imported back in the day. Sure would be nice if they’d lend us a few more...

Yep, Kellen...That 1st buck was taken in one of those areas that has that gene supposedly....I know of 2 others that came out of there that look very similar.

Pretty cool video of some "16" bucks

 

[HATCHET1]

Cool stuff!! Little big for me..but cool stuff for sure! MR.D16 & SON!

In the old old days the old timers called them all Blacktail.
Before the dark empire.

I drew x9a first time hunting a x zone.

How much time will you have to scout/hunt?

 

[smokee]

D16, beginners luck?

 

[SurfNHuntSD]

Awesome bucks.. let me know what butcher those go to next time so I can peek on the tag where they're from

 

[SoCal Duckie]

Gave up on the 12... roads are just toooo rough and my cup holders don’t work that great. Going fishing instead

From my understanding the majority of his bucks come from private. He is the same guy who posted the video of him on private and a dude shot the buck right in front of him illegally and they got it on film last season. @stikbrandon is friends with him they shoot archery shoots together all the time.

Hey Jeff
For sure 2 weekend long scouting trips and I plan to hunt 3-4 days second weekend of the season and the entire last week of the season.
