Congrats. I grew up upland hunting and if I could only shoot one bird for the rest of my life, the choice would be easy...Quail.

Here’s another pic .

I was supposed to leave to SD today, but due to a family emergency, we had to cancel. So I needed to get outdoors. I hit up some SLO County BLM land to chase Mt quail, but got skunked! A few weeks ago, before the opener, I busted several coveys while out on a scouting hike. But, I got me a...

Bummer. I hate when that happens.

Congrats on the escape. Although, you did move to CA’s little sister. Both are trying to out-liberal each other. Measure 114 is likely to pass. Give it 10 years and OR will be the new CA

Public. Pigs are hard on public land though.

Yep. I’m in an area LOADED with turkeys. Virtually none on public land.

Yes, but all on private ranches/fields. Not really much for public dove hunts.

Yep! But, he's now retired. His back legs don't work like they used to. He hasn't really hunted in about two years. I did take him out for a really easy quail hunt last year over gentle rolling hills. He loved it, but I shouldn't have taken him. It was confirmation that he's absolutely...

I've been absent for the past 5 years or so.... Kids, work, moved away from SoCal, life, etc. But I haven't stopped hunting. I remembered the great great conversations around the sport that SCH brought, so I decided to log back in. Good to see many of the same people are on here. I figured...

Just got back from South Dakota on an awesome trip. Left CA way early in the morning and made it to Glenwood Springs, CO where we stayed at the Colorado Hotel (yeah, I know, we didn't rough it that first stop). The following day we made it to South Dakota. We rented a house in Colome and...

Haven't been on here in a while.... So is life.... I hunted #5 that morning Steve. I got up to the counter and asked for Blind 2 and found out it was already taken. I shook my fist at the bastard who took #2! HAHA.... I think we had the best shooting blind that day though. We took #10...

Danny, I've seen your pile of rods in your garage. You don't have enough ceiling in your whole house to fit your poles. .

I'm tired of having my fishing poles piled into the corner of my garage so I decided to make an overhead rack out of some scraps I had lying around the garage. I'm going to make a second one for my saltwater rods/reels. The PVC pipe I had was too small for the large butts of my saltwater reels...

Aeon, I've thought about that too. I have a pair of all leather Danner Pronhorns that I love, I just haven't gone in snow with them. If my feet and legs are dry I'll be just fine. It's pretty much #1 on my agenda right now. How to keep my feet warm and dry while providing comfort for lots...
