He's a little young yet, but his older sister has asked if she can go sometime. If anyone from that family is going to be a hunter (other than the dad who already hunts) it's her. She's a very determined young lady and a very good shot with the 22 pellet gun. I promised to take her out...

Spent yesterday cleaning gear, going over the hunt, and getting ready for D16. Thank you! It was quite the emotional roller coaster. I didn't mention this above, but after getting so close Saturday morning, I had a few more drinks than I meant to Saturday night. I was hung over af on Sunday...

Thanks man. With the fires and closures and everyone and their sister being out on BLM land, I was starting to think I'd have to wait until late season.

With everything shut down, I pulled out (almost all) the stops and got permission to hunt on a family friend's ranch which borders CNF land. The ranch manager, who is a vegetarian, got surprisingly on-board and acted like a human game camera for me. She would text me each morning and evening...

Looks like defensive behavior. I bet she has a litter near by.

Where are you getting that from?

Wow, that's a lot of wildlife!

Confirmed, hunting is allowed again! LINK See bullet point number 2

It looks like the forests are back open: LINK

Hope it helps Lee. I strongly suspect that when life Flight hears your story, they're going to waive those bills. Same with the hospital. Could always go to the media too . . .

As much as I hate it, I kind of get it with the heat and winds this week. BUT, things are looking better for next week so let's keep our fingers crossed.

It is official. Closed through October 8. LINK

God you're an ugly muther f'er!! :joy: :joy: Looking forward to next weekend. Since we won't be anchoring we ought to be all right.

Last year I hunted D14 and camped Fri-Sun every weekend. This year, I'm hunting A22. Ironically, I know tons of places to camp and hunt outside of San Diego, but almost nowhere in San Diego County.

Looks like an awesome trip!

So sorry to hear it Lee. I cannot imagine what you're going through. Lean on family and friends.

The fire in the San Bernardino National Forest was started by a pyrotechnic device used for a gender reveal party. Has nothing to do with the fire in San Diego, but is part of why all the National Forests in SoCal are temporarily closed.

I head, from a reliable source, that it appears to have started from an old tractor that was sitting in the sun with gas in the tank. The speculation is that the record heat caused the fuel thank to blow. Hopefully we'll know for sure in the future. At least it wasn't a stupid gender reveal...

Hopefully, once this heatwave passes they'll open back up.
