Sweet! Another Weim owner. I love proving that weims can still hunt. Fantastic breed. My dog is now 5 and I still plan a planted hunt every year. People poo-poo on them but it's like a reward for my dog after the end of hunt season and plus if you go with the right place it can be fun as...

I realize this refuge is far from Southern California but there are some crusty waterfowlers on here with lost of experience so I thought I'd ask. Has anyone hunted The Griz before? I drew a rezzy and I'm hunting it with an old timer who has never hunted there before either. I know the rezzy...

Don't skip out on #7 at SJ. Grab some buddies and go have fun.

Cook it rare. If you cook it all the way through, give it to the dog. Sear 3-4 mins on both sides. Let it rest, and you're done. The center should be red.

Re: very first refuge duck hunt at san J I missed the thread before it was cleaned up, but Nic, you are right on target. Consistently shooting at birds 50 yards away is bad practice. I don't care who you are or how well you shoot. If you consistently shoot at 50 yards you will absolutely...

I told him about my last post on deciding which guide to go with. I told him the nice things you said. I obviously didn't know your last name so I showed him a pic. "Oh yeah! Damn he's gray. Hell, we all are now. We're all old men. I haven't seen him in years!"

Kenny Begley. On the advise of Sprig and Creole I skipped out on Blake's and booked with Kenny Begley. OMG I am so glad I did. This guy is unreal. We had the worst conditions possible. Zero wind, frosty morning (deeks were frosted) and a bluebird day with zero clouds. Kenny worked his...

Re: very first refuge duck hunt at san J I haven't been out this year but I went out several times last year. PM me and I'll give you a few good blinds. Don't bring 3 doz. it's not needed. Listen to what Steve said. San J is very beginner friendly. The morning will start with all the...

Done Good Luck. I agree, please do a follow up post with the lure design!

I haven't seen that at all. I've been to Walmarts in the SGV, Bakersfield, Tulare Co, Kings Co, Fresno Co, San Luis Obispo Co. Zero .22LR.

What I see is litter. I'd go back and remove it ;)

Good luck finding .22 anyways. Lead free .22 isn't required until 2019 (unless you are on dfg land), so your options will be limited. And expensive. Don't over think it. Go buy some lead rounds and use those (as long as you aren't hunting in the condor range). If you are worried about the...

Welcome. I love hearing fathers making memories outdoors with their sons. My dad started me young and we've hunted together every year since. It's awesome to get to spend time like that with your pops and he will NEVER forget it. Now I just can't wait until my little guy is old enough.

I haven't hunted Mendota very much. Only three times actually. I drew #16 and I'm looking for some pointers about that place. It's big and every time it seems like everyone knows where they are going but me. I might have a few openings for guys to tag along (I'm still waiting to hear back...

1. I can't comment with any authority on the regular birds seen in the specific area you were in but both the redhead and the canvasback this time of year can be found all over California. 2. When just starting out, either skin them or pluck them by hand. I would not invest in a wax setup...

Specks and Snows

I struck out. 3 hours and nothing to show for it but some seaweed and lost gear on rocks :'(

Well done Kid! Where was this?

Congrats! Quail hunting is my favorite
