    Columbia Blacktail?

    A and B zones. Just know that A zone is super hot and opens mid summer. I hunt Mendocino NF and a lot of pincher bug small forks with no eye guards have been the usual deer I see taken. Like anywhere else, there are plenty of nice ones. Good luck if you make it out there.

    How are you guys seeing so many deer?...!!!!

    Can you find the spike buck? A zone mendocino CA. 140 yrds. Posted on here a few times but the longer I hunt the more I learn. Biggest advice is walk slower 3 to 5 steps, stop and listen. Cover ground, be quite as possible.

    First D5 experience

    Saw some bucks. I passed up a small fork about 40yrds. Will be back looking for a bigger deer. It was a huge confidence boost.

    2 young bucks this season. Public Land.

    I believe it was validated at Cameron Station. I was not there for the validation of the second buck.

    2 young bucks this season. Public Land.

    Tags filled. We hunted many days, stayed out overnight, fought the heat, dehydraton for me one day, I was throwing up and could hardly hike to the truck, long pack outs, about 6 miles with a full pack and camping gear, and sore legs. A season I wont forget. I do feel a little bad for taking the...
