Sorry for the late reply. Haven’t been on SCH in a while. It’s the regular length.

Used 4 nights, too much bag for the 40 degree temps I hunt in. Would be great for temps in low 30s and below. Includes stuff sack and storage bag. Bag retails for $500, selling for $350 with pick up either in the Hesperia/Victorville area or Oxnard area. Can add actual shipping costs if you need...

At a recent family function I ran into a cousin who I hadn’t seen in probably 20 years. Turns out that he and a group of his friends are doing a 10 day backcountry hunt in this unit. So cool to find we had that common interest. I had no idea he was into hunting. I told him I’ve dreamt of a hunt...

Thanks! I thought not but just wanted to make sure I wasn’t interpreting things wrong.

I have X9a as 1st choice and D14 (premium this year) as my 2nd choice. Chances are slim I will draw X9a but I’m pretty sure I’d get D14 even as a 2nd choice. But if I do will I lose my preference points?

Thank you, I appreciate the advice. Much of what you suggest are things I have already started doing. I haven’t tried anything to mask scent. Been fairly diligent about scent control. Unscented laundry detergent, body wash, no toothpaste, no deodorant (I find that works better than unscented)...

Gave it my best try. Didn't close the deal. But just as with every season before, I have come away feeling like I made some progress. The forky I was after is still out there. I would have preferred to take him home, but knowledge and experience are great consolation prizes. I'm going to...

Congratulations!

Well, I went back out and it looks like everyone split for now. I’ll have to try again during general.

And that’s pretty much the same story here. No deer since then.

That’s a good friend. Good luck to you both!

I took the opportunity to find out what I could get away with for future reference. First one came within 15 feet directly down wind and staring right at me, but she kept eating and looking around. I could turn my head slowly, shift around a little, adjust the position of my bow. No problem, she...

I’m after him right now and am being outright harassed by does. They have been around for over an hour. They have now started making some sort of huffing sound at me. But they won’t leave!!! Is that normal?

Looking forward to writing it!

He’s got a buddy still in velvet. But I have only seen that one on camera couple times. My guy is around a lot. Hope he doesn’t change before I find him again.
