    Gear help for a noob

    I will second the Alpz Outdoor. I'm a cheap bastard and I just got the pack frame by itself(with the belt and straps). ALPS Commander Lite Then I just strapped a smaller pack onto it. Very modular; I can set it up a number of ways. I've only used it only one season to haul around a day's...

    Cleveland National Forest

    I spoke to a forestry officer a while ago about this concerning the wildomar area. Aside from the erosion issue, giving the vegetation some time to get a good foothold into the dirt is why so much time is given according to him. He claimed that any disturbance to dirt after a fire would...

    D zone Muley success!

    Thank you all for the congrats. We are beyond stoked on our harvest. I am sworn to secrecy on the location, but I will say that all three of these were taken within a mile of each other in SoCal. Story time: Fork-zilla was taken pretty much in text book fashion. We glassed him up in the...

    Hunting in D15

    The entire wildomar area is also closed indefinitely since a few years ago after the Wildomar fire. South main divide is closed between Tenaja Falls and Elsinore peak. All these closures really narrow down where you can access the hunting land. As far as shooting, you just have to make sure...

    D ZONE ARCHERY OPENER....

    Buddy and I hunted D17 this past weekend. Scouted our chosen area Thursday and Friday and found a couple nice bucks. Saturday morning they were a no show where we set up and hoped they would be. Wind kicked up and temps dropped yesterday so things changed as far as strategy. Buddy got an...

    Hunting in D15

    I've hunted deer in D15 for the last few years. In my experience, this zone requires a lot of work ...or some good luck. Got me a decent forkie a couple years ago partly due to luck. Buddy and I scouted all summer and found a couple shooters that pretty much stayed in the same area. This...

    When every thing goes well

    This post made me wonder about the current state of technology and space exploration. What is everybody's opinion on making another manned mission to the moon and the idea of reaching mars one day?

    D17 Help

    Not bad at all. Highs of ~95, but humidity of ~5% made it completely tolerable. One of the nights it got down to ~60 which was really nice.

    D17 Help

    Funny, me and my hunting buddy drew for d17 for the first time as well. We actually just got back from our first scout this past weekend. We covered a lot of ground and saw sign in each area we checked. We were looking like crazy at all the ridges and mountains; we did see some. I will give...

    D15 velvet and lion!

    I remember seeing that some time ago while glassing; had to double take when I saw that through the binos. Not sure whats left of it after the fire though. Google maps now shows that area updated after the fire. Doesn't look like the bus fared too well. Also looks like there were a couple...

    "Disney Scandal" / Border Analogy

    I am for border security(not the trump wall though), but this analogy is a stretch at best. People that immigrated legally are really the only people that can relate to it. I was fortunate enough to be born in the best country on earth so I didn't really pay anything to get in lol.
