Trig, never saw Mtn. Lion till 2008. I was in the hills outside of Coalinga on a pig hunt on some private land that 2 buddies and I had been given permission to hunt.
1st day we were sitting at the edge of a ravine looking down about 400 yards into the bottom that had a lot of bushes and in...
Hunted the IV with the nephew and some good friends Friday thru yesterday morning.
Opening day limits all around. Spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon scouting south end of Wister.
Spent the late afternoon looking for spots that would provide access after incoming rain. Started...
Can't say enough about reading and understanding the regs !! Been at it since 1971; and I read then every year before season starts. Over the years dfg has modified/edited previous regs without any warning or attention. They love to change just a couple words or a phrase that changes everything...
Ya know people have got lost out there and almost died ! We couldn't be so lucky !!
Joking aside given what I think of this man and his kind; I would relish the idea of having him the blind on one of those Wister mornings where God and His glory are on full display ! What a treat that would be !!
Ill be the guy here ! Other than reworking water delivery that was in dire shape; nothing that has been done by DU or CWA has/is IMHO been good for Wister ! Im not bashing DFG employees here by any means. If your old enough to remember , the Gonsalez Wister management time period that destroyed...
The annual USASOC Sniper Competition will be in March at Fort Bragg. This year they will have a new team.
The boy and his teammate won the Regional Qualifier for a ticket to the big show.
The boy’s original partner had to back out of qualifier with a month to go. Partner had a change of job to...
Oh I get it Steve ! The cost of hunting dogs is insane now ! Back in the day when the wife and I had 2 kids and not a pot to piss in; she was pretty pissed when I paid a guy $ 150 for a papered puppy !! Lol !!!!
IMHO , I want a pup that comes from Field Trial stock. It doesn’t guarantee a great hunting dog, but I think it’s better than buying a pup from a buddies sister cousin who happens to have a litter of Labs.
It’s also important to know what to look for when choosing a pup. Is the pup timid or...
Fishingkid, I am on my 2nd female lab from Elite Labradors in Richfield, UT. Scott the owner is very cool. He trains labs for Field Trials and hunting/ family type. Nowadays his two boys get to do the most training. Scott’s place is very clean. I drove to pick up both pups being they were...
Over the years I would take my new pups to the Trap & Skeet range in El Monte. I would start out way at the back of parking lot keeping the pup interested in a dummy with shots in the background. If I saw no so sign of concern or fear I would move a little closer and repeat until I had pup...
Steve, I remember those days ! We got smarter later using a piece pipe to hold 3 dozen, a guy on each end and away we went. Makes my back hurt just looking at the picture !! Lol
Definitely have to watch your 6 in the IV nowadays !! Has changed a lot since Grandpa & Grandma had a trailer in Bombay Beach when I was a kid; even years later when they stayed most of the fall and winter in Slab City. Back then you could leave your trailer/camper wide open and go to town in...
Im with Matt !! In my younger days I wouldn't have thought twice about Boss or Wife ! Now I see what a shatty Husband I was; never cared about the Boss ! I was looking for a job when I found this one ! But her, should've have done better !! Been married and together going on 40 years; still...
That sucks ! Would like to catch someone in the act ! Strip em naked and duct tape em to one of the light poles in the Check Station. Will keep an eye out when out chasing quail, dove and pheasant !
Any of you guys and gals have room in your campground, or someone you know, for a 6x6x12 Decoy Trailer ?? Im trying to leave it at Wister rather than having to drag it back and forth to LA every weekend .
Thanks for any help !!!
