    Replacement fall protection straps

    teachanother, You might want to check out the rock climbing departments at REI and A16. They use different sizes and types of webbing. Good Luck! Joe

    What's Going On?

    Jim, Why do you say (buck only) for a AO tag? I searched thru the 2011 California Hunting Digest and the only thing I could find on AO tags was: "Archery Only (AO) tags allow hunting with archery equipment only during the archery and general seasons in A, B, or D zones. An Archery-Only tag...

    How Safe Is It Out There?

    I was reading on The SoCal Bowhunter that the author won't go out bowhunting bears in the San Bernardinos or even to retrieve his trail cameras by himself because of the mountain lions in the area. That got me thinking. Of course there is a risk to anything you do in the outdoors. But how...

    Sunday 3D Shoot

    Sorry Everyone, The Shoot is on Sunday. In the message body I said Saturday. Mike, I'll be out there this weekend. I'm going to check out a place a friend told me about. Since I don't have a tree stand yet I guess I'll try to spot & stalk. Either way it will be fun to be out there hunting...

    What's Going On?

    teachanother, Thank you so much for all the help and advice. Your write up was above and beyond anything I could have hoped for. You have given me a lot to think about. I like the idea of spot and stalk hunting. I'm not sure if I could just sit in a tree stand or blind for hours on end. I'm...

    What's Going On?

    Thanks Guys, An AO tag sounds like the way for me to go since I missed out on the A22. Since I can't afford tree stands and trail cameras at this time (truck just died on us) what do you recommend I do? It sounds like everyone uses tree stands down here in San Diego. As I've said I am brand...

    What's Going On?

    The only thing I own right now is a compound bow. So I was only planning to hunt turkey, deer, pigs or rabbits this year.

    What's Going On?

    Just got back from Pennsylvania. Did some flyfishing the creeks for smallmouth bass. It was nice but slow. I usually manage 5 to 10 bass each outing when back there. But this time I only scraped up 2. My truck broke down just before the trip. And with needing money for the trip I hadn't...

    What's Going On?

    John, Thanks for the reply. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate. I leave tonight for 2 weeks in Pennsylvania. I won't have access to the internet. But I will definitely be back on the site when I get back. I hope to see lots of posts. And look forward to the day when I can...

    What's Going On?

    Hey Guys & Gals, Aren't Mike and some of you going on a Utah hunt next month? If yes, how come I'm not seeing any posts about it? Actually, why is this forum so dead? I check every day and it usually only takes me 5 minutes at the most to read the new posts. Someone mentioned on one of...

    D16 & A22 Dates

    I can't get the hunting digest to download. It keeps timing out. Can someone post the hunting dates for D16 & A22 hunts? Are these either sex hunts? Thanks for the help! Joe

    Newbie Wanting to Deer Hunt

    Hey Guys, Let me startoff by saying that I'm brand new to hunting. This is my first year. And therefore I'm having a hard time figuring things out. Last night I was looking at the new 2011 Big Game Digest. All 72 pages. To say it's confusing to some one new is an under statement. Can...
