I'm starting school on the 1st but will be making my way to Yuma as well Friday night. I have two friends who recently moved there and have a new baby that I'd like to meet. The doves are going to be a great bonus. Visited them over the 4th of July weekend and got out for a Euro shoot while I...

The normally not wearing hearing protection is a good point. I always intend to put in hearing protection before taking a shot but truthfully never do, maybe if I had electronic in-ear protection it would be different. Last December I took a shot with a friends 300 win mag that had a brake on...

Can you explain more why you hate muzzle brakes? Is that just from the perspective of you next to another shooter that has a muzzle break or is there something else wrong with them for you as the shooter? I've seen on other forums that people hate on muzzle brakes because they can just use a...

I was surprised to see how many bucks are only spikes in the areas I have been scouting. I would guess around 2/3 are spikes and the other 1/3 are a combo sporks and forks. Last time I was out scouting was in May but I don't think they would develop another entire point at that point in their...

If not a tag rule, I could see it being a base rule they talk about in an orientation. Per the regs you aren’t even allowed to take sheds on base

1st year applying so nothing for me. I wish I had the chance to be sent TAD to Yuma to meet the requirements for a lifetime license. Excited for OTC deer in January

I wonder if they’ll let you shoot the cow with a tracking collar. Now that would be a shoulder mount.

I agree with this wholeheartedly and imagine thats the majority of hope that other guys in their 20s must have. I have a lifetime of random draws to get lucky and am fortunate enough to be able to have OTC opportunities every year anyways. California has an unlimited theoretical cap on...

I dont imagine I will be drawing anything via preference points in my lifetime with only 6 now across the board for Elk, Sheep, and Antelope. I stopped applying for the last 4 years while out of state and I am kicking myself. Somebody's gotta draw that 1 random quota tag per unit though. I...

Ah I see, I was looking on my desktop but when I swapped to the app I saw what you both are talking about. "Hunts within B Zone"

Nothing in my portal has been updated yet which Im assuming is a bad sign for me lol. I also put in for that new Whitney tag, cool that you were drawn alternate. Fingers are crossed you get called up!

Those pigs are brutal especially if you arent prepared to deal with one that size. Congrats!

The roads were brutal after the 2 rounds of Kona Low. I didn't see any hard horned bucks two weeks ago, nice that you got one!

I'll definitely be trying for at least one. I'll cross that second bridge if I get over the first one.

Steve, I'm treating all those mistakes as lessons learned lol. Doing a better job tagging at the kill site now. Thanks for the help guys, I have a couple other friends who were wondering that same question so you're helping out quite a few at once.
