Figured I'd go fishing tomorrow night for leopard shark. I've always tossed them back but if I'm lucky I'm going to keep one. I've heard they piss through their skin and you have to kill them and bleed them right away or else their meat taints. Any truth? If so, what methods do you guys use...

That's a good day for this year, in eastern Kern Co. I hunt there as well and although the numbers are up from last year it's still low overall. I found they have been busting much earlier and not holding as much too. Have you noticed the same?

It's in their blood! Good job H and G! Smoked 'em

No worries. Thanks for your reply

I went out yesterday on a public boat out of Morro Bay for rock fish. A while back a guy taught me to use a trap rig to catch big lings. I was a believer when I noticed every fish he brought up was a monster ling. Nothing small. Here was his setup: barrel swivel that can slide up and down...

switching to 3" shells shouldn't make a damn bit of difference. I've never shot 3" shells pheasant hunting and I've never had a problem. I can promise you the shells aren't the issue. Get an instructor

Am I the only one who thinks the drake spoonie is one of the prettiest ducks?

Find where the dove are roosting and feeding and you are set. Dove are pretty predictable once you find out where they roost and feed. They wake up early morning, leave the nest to feed. Feed all day and back to the roost at night. Pretty straight forward. If you aren't in the path from...

I refinished an 870 from the ground up and used the duracoat aerosol in the color "870 black." Looks great. It's not bulletproof though. Took it out on Sep 1st and it came back with a few chips after one day and I was meticulous about prep-work. Not that big of a deal though, still looks...

At least you drew. I'm in a waterfowl pact of 4 guys and we all put in with the agreement that if one draws we take the rest of the group. No draws all year. First time this has happened.

Where does one find these straight-flying dove? ;)

That staking tool works wonders. So simple, yet so effective.

I wouldn't keep an e-collar on him all day. That's improper use of the collar. It sounds weird but I break my dog's behavior by grabbing him, pinning him on his back and holding him there until he submits. I might get in his face and yell at him or give him a little bite on joweles and growl...

I second not getting a dog if you plan to leave it outside 24/7. Sure there are people who do it and the dogs are fine (I.e. Look at how all the sled dogs in Alaska are kept and they are fine), but I think for the vast majority of people it just breeds lazy and inconsiderate pet owners. My...

Thanks Stump. I visited the local BLM office here and they weren't much help. Lots of outdated maps and it looks like BLM in the area is pretty freakin' slim.

These are great!

I am a member of CA Deer. They host banquets as well. They send out a quarterly magazine too all about CA deer hunting. Plus all your $ stays in CA. I am also a member of CA Waterfowl, which I think is a great organization. They host dinner and have a lot of events throughout the year...

Especially during the tough years its helps to go with a few guys. The place I hunt the quail seem to always flush uphill, so when we are working a covey someone will go high and someone will go low. A bit of teamwork and you should have a few more in the hand. At least you didn't get...

Just moved here from Rancho Cucamonga. Looking to see if there are any central coast hunters around here

So last year I started a tradition with my buddies. Last year we went up to Sacramento and enjoyed a weekend of goose hunting, stayed at Granzella's, drank and cussed like sailors. This year we are doing it all over again. I guess it has morphed into an annual event for my group of friends...
