is the yellow area considered the incorporated area and no go for shooting? unshaded open to shooting per that properties rules? red??

My understanding is BLM is back open to target shoot, except wilderness areas. Most of last year it was closed for fire restrictions in the county. National forest Ive been told is off limits except those few specific designated shooting areas. Although I have come across a few areas in the...

Larry, haha, yeah with a 5 y/o its more or less just being out there with him and getting him exposed. Ive been out a few times hitting up some spots for coyotes. I know they are out here and had about the same luck as you. I see them all the time running around in my neighborhood and I...

Keep me posted. Ive been hitting some local spots for coyotes on the weekends. eye balling the deer while I'm at it. I have off this Friday and Hope to check out some turkey areas.

older ILBE main pack. Its a functional pack, excellent construction and can take a serious beating (marine proof). Same pack in the original post, but you might be missing the lid. The lid/top pouch can be buckled on and off. I think the older ones, like what you have, had that flap in...

The cheapest bidder. Is a USMC issued ILBE pack. Don't think its the current issued ruck these days, I think there is a newer ruck being issued out. SOLID pack! Ive carried 100+ pounds for miles in these things. Its built tough, but on the heavier side...as far as backpacking packs go...

Im no optics expert, or know that Ive ever even held what some would call high end glass before. Im in the market for a spotting scope though. I do have a budget, and the saying seems to be it worth spending the money on good optics. got me thinking of a few directions I can go here. I dont...

awesome!! this is part of the reason I got my son into scouts as soon as he was old enough. Basic outdoorsmen skills are dying off. Very basic skills like land nav, knots, sharpening a knife, etc are all becoming lost arts. Just having a basic understanding can really open up your life to...

so what put you to the Weatherby over the others? Price? fit? finish? Im also in the market for a dedicated deer rifle. I have a .223 AR, but the consensus seems to be that this would be on the light side for a big game cartridge. I was looking at the same models as you, except I havent...

Going to try and make it out next weekend. Will you have to be present for raffles to win? Is the $10 to get into the lake area or to get in the event area? getting an idea of how much $$$$ to bring with me.

Great info guys, exactly what I'm looking for. I search for these with no direction and I see them from 20 bucks to hundreds of bucks. Than I see twist locks and has flashbacks to fighting my extending tree saw with twist locks and have to wonder. Sounds like I don't gain much between a $40...

Those that use them, what do you look for in a set? Went into a local area to check out the coyote situation this morning, as well as observing other animals. Lots of hills and I can see how trekking poles could be beneficial here, especially if you are weighed down with a pack full of meat...

I have a friend with a swagger bipod and he loves it. tall enough to kneel/sit. I think what they have going for them is the ability to swivel while staying planted so you can follow track your target without have to pickup/reset or drag your bipod legs. only problem I have with them is they...

I can also vouch for this system. Was a navy corpsman with several marine infantry units and had the same system. Sleeping in holes for days on end was the norm. Not the smallest or lightest, but super versatile. All three layers together, Ive slept warm and woke up to all our water being...

Ive got this same bag and it works pretty good down to 50s, few degrees more with a nice liner. I probably saw the same blog you did. Ive done a lot of motorcycle camping off small dual sports and size was a big issue for me with sleeping bags. This bag packs SMALL! I don't know that I ever...

I think the ocotillo discussion really should be called split mountain rd, just south of ocotillo wells OHV area. its a designated BLM shooting area, even has signs reminding shooters to pick up trash. its about 3 ft past the sand diego/imperial county boarder. Last I heard san diego BLM...

My plan is to dust off the cobwebs and get back at it after 15 years off. Absorbing everything I can. So as not to go all wild with huge dreams I would like to stick to the local area and get back into the groove, figure out my gear situation, find areas, etc. Going to shoot for D16 or D19...

this looks like some great info! thanks for the link.

thanks for the responses. I get lead and most steel shot, Im probably better off or would break even with what's available on the shelf. Plenty of this stuff everywhere at reasonable prices. Im more curious of cost savings when it comes to the TSS, hevi-metal, bismuth, etc loads. And if...

First off, never reloaded anything. Getting back into hunting/shooting after years off and never hunted California. started reading up on all the rules and regs and I see shotgun hunting with lead is all but dead. Went shopping around and lead free alternatives do go for quite a bit more...
